That was the big question all Windows users were asking themselves: Will Windows 11 be free when you already have an operating system license? While Microsoft is in the process of making Windows 11 official, the program that checks if your PC can update has leaked. He confirms that the upgrade will be free for Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 users.
The new version of Windows is here! If Microsoft has just finished its conference, the Windows 11 ISO file has already been roaming the web for a few days. Through it, we could already get a good idea of the new functions brought to the operating system, before Microsoft officially launched the system.
The conference is now over, but a crucial question remains: will we be able to migrate from an old version of Windows to Windows 11 and above all, without spending a single cent? This is already the case for Windows 10, which allows the use of a Windows 7 or 8.1 registration key. But will we have the same privileges with Windows 11? The info has just been confirmed by the leak of a named verification utility WindowsPCHealthCheckSetup.msi.
You can use your Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 registration key to install Windows 11
But we knew it more or less already for some time, thanks to another utility: Product Key Configuration Reader. This normally allows you to consult the different Windows product keys, and thus learn about the possibilities of migration from one version to another.
By launching the application, we could already see that Microsoft will offer the possibility of migrating from an old edition of Windows to Windows 11. But in the middle of a conference, @Walkingcat shared a download link for Microsoft's famous utility. WindowsPCHealthCheckSetup.msi just check that your PC can update to Windows 11.
When you launch the program, a window appears in which you see, among other things, a banner with the text: “Let's check if this PC meets the minimum requirements. If so, you will be entitled to a free update as soon as it becomes available ”. We then understand that the upgrade is free for all compatible PCs whether since Windows 7, 8 or 10. What do you think of Windows 11? Are you going to update? Share your opinion in the comments!
