The Windows 11 operating system is available for computers that have the hardware requirements deemed necessary or compatible, and Microsoft is offering the upgrade free of charge for users currently using Windows 10. Microsoft is not currently requiring Windows 10 users to upgrade, but there is a possibility that Windows may do so in the future. Fortunately for Windows 10 users that do not want to upgrade, there is an option to block an inadvertent Windows 11 upgrade from taking place. Those using Windows 10 Pro can use the Group Policy Editor or a Registry edit for an update block, while those using Windows 10 Home only have the Registry edit option.
Key Takeaways:
- Use the Group Policy to block incoming Windows 11 updates. It will have to be enabled.
- You can also edit your Registry to get it so you do not get any of the Windows 11 updates.
- The Windows 11 update is not enforced, but there will be a time when it is.
