    Hello, You can't upgrade from Win8 to Win10 for free now.

    If you want to upgrade to Windows 10, you need to purchase a Windows 10 license from Microsoft Store or an authorized reseller. After successfully upgrading to Windows 10, you can consider upgrading to Windows 11 if your device meets the Windows 11 minimum system requirements. About Windows 11 minimum system requirements, please refer to this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-system-requirements-86c11283-ea52-4782-9efd-7674389a7ba3 And Microsoft details what happens or won't happen if you install 11 on a device that does not meet minimum system requirements. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-windows-11-on-devices-that-don-t-meet-minimum-system-requirements-0b2dc4a2-5933-4ad4-9c09-ef0a331518f1

    The offer for free Windows upgrade expired so really many years ago; you missed it. Purchase a new license.
