From PC World: Microsoft representatives said Wednesday that the Tech Community blog post was in error: “Apologies for the confusion from the Tech Community post. The free Windows 11 upgrade path remains unchanged. We’re working on getting it corrected!“
Yesterday, 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.
