Microsoft has just made Windows 10 users an offer they (almost) can’t refuse: a free update to Windows 11 version 24H2. Details can be found on this support page, where Microsoft writes:
“Windows 11, version 24H2, also known as the Windows 11 2024 Update, is now broadly available.
Starting this week, we are expanding this latest Windows version’s phased rollout. We are gradually offering this update also to eligible devices running Windows 10, version 22H2.”
Clearly, Microsoft wants Windows 10 users to transition to Windows 11, and they’re doing everything they can to make the process as easy and enticing as possible. The company also wants users to hop aboard Windows 11 24H2 — so much so that they recently made the update mandatory — so they’re killing two birds with one stone here.
How to claim the Windows 11 24H2 update
The rollout of this offer is only going out to Windows 10 PCs that are eligible for Windows 11. That means you’ll need to meet some minimum hardware requirements, like a TPM 2.0 chip in your system.
To check whether your device is eligible, go to the Settings app and navigate to Windows Update. Version 24H2 of Windows 11 will be shown there if your PC meets the technical requirements. (Note that the update may not show up for a few days as it’s still rolling out.)

Windows 11 Pro
If you’re on Windows 10 Home, you’ll be upgraded to Windows 11 Home. If you want Windows 11 Pro instead, you’ll need to upgrade that separately. Learn more in our comparison of Windows 11 Home and Pro.
Act fast before October comes around
Microsoft is officially ending support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. After that date, Windows 10 PCs will stop receiving security updates and Office 365 apps will eventually stop working. Learn more about what this means for Windows 10 users.
You’ll still be able to use your Windows 10 PC, but it will grow increasingly more vulnerable to malware and other security issues. That’s why security experts warn that you shouldn’t wait to upgrade to Windows 11. If you don’t want to upgrade, you can pay for extended Windows 10 support or switch to a different operating system.
