Microsoft has already announced that Windows 11 will be offered as a free upgrade to certain eligible Windows 10 computers, and this eligible tidbit has caused quite a lot of confusion lately. By the looks of things, the free upgrade will be available for devices equipped with an eight-generation processor, though Microsoft has recently started testing seventh-generation chips as well as part of the Windows Insider program.
As it turns out, yes. Computers running Windows 10 Home in S mode will also be allowed to move to Windows 11, as the new operating system would also come with a dedicated S mode from the very beginning. Windows 10 running in S mode restricts users to apps published in the Microsoft Store, therefore blocking the installation of Win32 software, which in turn provides an extra layer of security by closing the door on one of the most popular malware distribution channels.
Just like in the case of full Windows, computers running the S mode will be provided with a notification in Windows Update when the new OS becomes available for download. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question 0. Report abuse.
