Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users to get free Upgrade of Windows 11?
Windows 11 operating system was launched on June 24, but even before its release, the new operating system has been viewed through its leaked build.
Windows 11 can be made available not only for Windows 10 users but also for those running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 as a free upgrade. A leak over upgrade support has surfaced ahead of the official announcement of the new Microsoft operating system. Microsoft had also launched a similar upgrade program at the time of the release of Windows 10, in which Windows 7 and Windows 8 users got free upgrades. One of the reasons behind this at that time was to bring more and more people to new windows, after which the company also lost user support for Windows 7 last year.
XDA Developers saw some product configuration keys in the leaked Windows 11 build, with titles of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. These keys may indicate Microsoft bringing users of the old Windows operating system to Windows 11 as a free upgrade.
However, interestingly, Windows 8 configuration is not part of these key. This suggests that Windows 8 users may need to upgrade to Windows 8.1 before moving to Windows 11.
According to data provided by analytics platform Statcounter, the Windows 7 operating system with 15.52 percent market share as of May is the second-largest Windows operating system in the world after 10 Windows. It is followed by Windows 8.1, which has a 3.44 percent stake. On the contrary, Windows 8 has only a 1.27 percent stake.
Windows 11 operating system was launched on June 24, but even before its release, the new operating system has been viewed through its leaked build. This will include a new start menu and the company has also made several changes to the interface, making it much different from Windows 10. It is clear that Windows 10 users will get the new version as a free upgrade, although it is not clear whether it will be available immediately for older generation operating systems.
