So I had a thought the other day, back when the Windows 10 launched, Microsoft allowed users with Windows 7 to upgrade their computers to Windows 10 without having to pay for an upgrade. Supposedly this upgrade ability was turned off, but has it? I have a Windows 7 laptop let us find out …
At this point of the process I am convinced that if the upgrade engine were to bail out because the upgrade to 10 was no longer supported, it would have done it by now.
So the answer is yes, the upgrade process does still work despite the fact that Windows 11 has become a thing and being actively pushed out by Microsoft. I have updated several laptops in the last year or so and it has worked well every time, safe to say … the upgrade process has not been disabled.
