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 key tool for upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11, is currently failing to work on Windows 10 PCs. Although workarounds exist, a timeline for a fix has not been provided.

With Windows 10 set to reach its end-of-life on October 14, 2025, users are urged to upgrade to Windows 11 to continue receiving free security updates and bug fixes.

After this date, if you are still using Windows 10, you will not get any free security updates or bug fixes.

Users with compatible PCs are advised to upgrade to Windows 11 to mitigate potential security risks.
