Windows 11 will be a free upgrade from Windows 10 — and there isn't a deadline

Microsoft just finished its big reveal of Windows 11 and there were a lot of exciting new updates, but the company didn't mention one of our biggest questions: How much will the upgrade cost?

Fortunately, the answer came immediately following the event with manufacturers stating that Windows 11 will be a free update for Windows 10 users. We spoke to Windows General Manager Aaron Woodman after the show who said he had no plans to place on deadline on when Windows 10 users can upgrade, stating his main focus is getting Windows 11 to the most customers with the greatest satisfaction.  

This was what we anticipated and follows the same model that Microsoft used with the upgrade to Windows 10. This doesn't, of course, mean that Windows 11 itself is free, but rather that the update to Windows 11 for existing Windows 10 users.
