Last month, Microsoft officially announced the Windows 11 operating system, which will be available for free to all users of the Windows 10 operating system, if the computer meets the system requirements of the platform. It turned out that owners of Windows 7, as well as other older versions of the OS, will be able to get the update.

There’s been plenty of discussion about what the brand new update to Windows is bringing. However, as we approach the second half of 2021, questions are growing about how and if users will be eligible for a free update from Windows 7/8/8.1.

The company itself did not say whether they intend to provide a free update for Windows 7 and 8.1 users. However, some manufacturers have addressed this issue by publishing hardware compatibility lists and ways to activate or emulate the TPM.

Lenovo has published a new support document that explicitly states that you can upgrade your computer from Windows 7 to Windows 11; but only using a “clean install”, which actually requires a complete formatting of the drive. In other words, there is no direct way to upgrade to Windows 11 using Windows Update.

Although Microsoft provides a free upgrade for Windows 10 users, according to Neowin, license keys from Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 will also be supported; so if you have a computer with powerful hardware and an old OS, the upgrade is quite possible. This is actually what we are testing in this video.

By the way, you CAN still upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. In theory, this allows you to upgrade the OS to the tenth version and then to Windows 11 without having to reinstall your PC.

With the Insider builds being tested by many users, it’s only a matter of time before Microsoft details the official release date for Windows 11 and what the upgrade eligibility will be.
