Not in all cases. My desktop PC came with windows professional (10), back in 2021. Upgrading to windows 11 is not included for free (not even to windows 11 "basic"), I need to pay a new license.

    You still can upgrade for free and use a registry setting to take off the nag screen.

    But I really was commenting on people who think they can't. You can too by buying windows11.

    Well, windows didn't allow me to do that, so I might have to do a manual process maybe.

    Anyway, I am not interested in upgrading, I am just saying that I can't upgrade (click button, couple of steps), without buying a new copy. We can argue about the semantics of what "upgrading" means, but effectively there are going to be plenty of people in my situations, which is why I brought it up.
