Microsoft started sending full-screen banners about upgrading to Windows 11

Windows 10 users have started receiving full-screen banners recommending they upgrade to Windows 11. This mainly applies to PCs with system versions 21H2 and 22H2, but in some cases the notification appears even on older summer 2022 patches.

This new popup is reminiscent of the first boot of Windows 11. The notification attempts to remind users that their device has been “unlocked by a free upgrade offer.”

There are two buttons on the main screen: one allows you to immediately start downloading an update to Windows 11, and the second allows you to schedule a download later.

There is also a third option at the bottom that allows you to keep Windows 10, however, if you select it, the pop-up window will not disappear. Instead, clicking it will open another page called Get to know Windows 11.

Highlighted there are a few features that you can use after installation: the new Start Menu, tabs in explorer, new settings, Microsoft 365 and much more.

The back button opens another window where "Microsoft recommends Windows 11 for your PC". Here you can already select the “opt out of updating” option, after which you will go to another final confirmation window: “You will stay on Windows 10.” Although even there Microsoft advertises flagship features of Windows 11.

The company is trying hard to convince users to switch to a new system, but these attempts do not bring much result. Windows 11 is still much less popular than Windows 10. What system do you choose?
