As Windows continues to come under attack from all quarters, be it Russian hackers, the exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities in Windows itself, or newly reported FastHTTP high-speed password hacking threats, keeping your operating system secure has never been more vital. Yet for hundreds of millions of Windows 10 users, security support will come to a crashing halt sooner rather than later as Microsoft stops providing it on Oct. 14. If you are quick, however, there’s a way of upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 entirely legally and free of charge. Here’s what you need to know.
They are told, indeed, many tactics to get a copy of Windows 11 for free, but not for free of charge. All of these strategies involve illegality in some shape or form, the most commonly cracked copies of the operating formula. If your code of ethics agrees with this, you might wonder where the charge comes from. , there is the security angle, which is much more important: such copies of Windows are accompanied via a malicious surprise. Actually, you should use Microsoft’s maximum secure operating formula with more roots and malware to spy and borrow the credentials of your valuable accounts? No, I didn’t think about it. But as Windows 11’s end-of-support date approaches, with less than nine months to go, the update is adjusting a pressing factor for many who might be tempted through cash that doesn’t replace hands.
This is where Microsoft comes to the rescue, although in a quite silent way and without fanfare. A January 21 publication on Microsoft Windows Fitness pages of Microsoft, yes, who knew, revealed that there is a way to obtain a legal update to Windows 11 for free.
“Starting this week,” Microsoft said, “we are expanding this latest Windows version’s phased rollout.” That version being Windows 11 24H2. “We are gradually offering this update also to eligible devices running Windows 10, version 22H2,” Microsoft confirmed.
Microsoft advised that to check if your Windows 10 device is eligible for the free Windows 11 operating system upgrade then you must head for Settings|Windows Update and then select the check for updates option.“If your device is ready for the update,” Microsoft said, “you’ll see the option to download and install Windows 11, version 24H2.”
Why is a critical update from the point of view of security? As I have already mentioned, as of October 14, Windows 10 will have reached what is called the end of the aid, and millions of users will no longer obtain security updates unless you pay for an Extfinished or updated protection aid to Windows 11. Unless we are looking for this free update opportunity now. Also attentive to this poaching page, because Microsoft said that “it would provide more data on the implementation of the Windows 11 2024 update. “
