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.
