What is the Windows 11 release date?
 

Microsoft has announced that Windows 11 is going to be available to download by the holidays this year, with beta builds starting to go out to Windows Insiders in the week commencing June 28, 2021.

 

 

Who knows, lot of time till then.

I edit my posts more often than not

We will have to wait and see for a definite answer, Microsoft may make changes regarding letting users run without activation when they release Windows 11, if they have a similar policy as Windows 10 then I am guessing that you could get Windows 11 but it would be an non-activated version.

Hope this information post was helpful  ?,

My best guess is that you probably would be able to update to windows 11 from 10 even without it being activated but it would have the same drawbacks as unactivated windows 10. Also if you ever see or manage to come across an old tower that is broken or being recycled check for a product key. Every windows 7 key I have tried from a bunch of old Dell Optiplexes I got from a surplus center (they are from around 2012ish) has worked for activating and installing windows 10 so that could be a sneaky way to get a legit key for free if you ever see someone tossing one or find a nearby school or business getting rid of them
