Whether you’re trying to eke out a few more years on an aging PC or have been dragging your feet on a Windows 11 upgrade, there are a few ways to upgrade without paying for it.
If your Windows 10 computer meets all the necessary requirements for an upgrade to Windows 11, there are a number of ways you can get the newer operating system for free. If your PC doesn’t officially support Windows 11, Microsoft recommends that you consider purchasing a new PC. Before you rush to Best Buy, however, check out how to sneak past the update requirements with a third-party utility. (You can also eke out an extra year on Windows 10 with these workarounds.)
