While most Windows users are busy upgrading their PCs with Windows 11, many are not ready to let go of Windows 10. At least not yet. Moreover, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10 in 2025. So, the major question that pops up in the minds of such users is what will happen if you decline to upgrade to Windows 11?

Well, if that’s what you’re wondering too, then this guide is here to help. In this post, we’ll explore with you all the possibilities that can happen if you decide not to update your PC with Windows 11. With that said, let’s dive right in.

You can always update to Windows 11 later if you don’t want to upgrade now. Even if Microsoft stops allowing a free upgrade through the Settings app, you can always use the Medica Creation Tool (MCT) or the Installation Assistant to upgrade to Windows 11. Keep in mind that you’ll need the following things to be eligible for a free upgrade.

You can also use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant to get your copy of the original Windows 11. Simply head over to the Windows 11 download page and click the Download Now button. Once the download is complete, you need to run the Windows 11 Installation Assistant and click the Accept & Install button to begin upgrading your PC.
