Microsoft Accidentally Breaks Windows 10 to Windows 11 Upgrade
Microsoft has inadvertently broken the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool (MCT) ahead of Windows 10's end-of-life (EOL) date.
The MCT, a primary method for Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11, no longer works on Windows 10 PCs. Although workarounds are available, a timeline for a fix has not been provided.
With Windows 10 officially reaching its end-of-life on October 14, 2025, users will no longer receive free security updates or bug fixes, making their PCs more vulnerable to security risks.
- Windows 10 users are advised to upgrade to Windows 11, if their PC supports it.
- A lot of users are now rushing to install Windows 11 due to the impending EOL date.
After this date, if you are still using Windows 10, you will not get any free security updates or bug fixes.
