Upgrade from windows 7

I have windows 7 and would like to upgrade. I am on the Microsoft web page and click the blue buttons Check for Upgrade and Check for compatability but nothing happens. What am i missing?

Hello, this is Emily.

Unfortunately there's currently no way to upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 for free anymore, unless you have purchased Windows 10 or 11 license already. Even if you have license, you cannot skip Windows 10 and upgrade directly from 7/8.1 to 11.

If your computer is from the Windows 7 era, chance is, it is not going to meet the Windows 11 requirements. You can start by checking the CPU first, see if it is even listed among these lists:

Intel CPU: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardw...

AMD CPU: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardw...
