Windows 7, 8 users can no longer upgrade to Windows 11 for free, here is why

India Today  

Microsoft has officially closed the loophole that allowed Windows 7 and Windows 8 users to upgrade to Windows 11 for free. This message signifies the end of the free upgrade path for users holding onto older Windows 7 or 8 keys. However, for individuals considering taking advantage of this upgrade loophole in the future, Microsoft's decision underscores the necessity to purchase a legitimate Windows 11 key. While free upgrades have been a feature of previous Windows releases, it's evident that Microsoft is now taking a stricter stance on activation and licensing, emphasizing the importance of genuine product keys to access its latest operating system, Windows 11.
