Microsoft has started the automatic rollout of Windows 11 version 24H2, also known as the Windows 11 2024 Update, to eligible devices. The update process started on Jan. 16, 2025, and as of now, it is for non-managed systems that use Windows 11 Home and Pro editions, as reported by Windows Latest.

Microsoft posted on the Tech Community blog, once again urging Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11. The company has been nudging users in this direction for a while now, employing increasingly desperate tactics as statistics continue to show that Windows 11 adoption has plateaued worldwide.

Microsoft says the Free Upgrade to Windows 11 is for a Limited Time only. You can still upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 for free now.

Microsoft says an earlier blog post contained inaccurate information about changes to the Windows 11 upgrade path.

A blog post claiming that the free upgrade to Windows 11 was for a "limited time only" appears to have been a mistake.
