How to Lock Upgrade to Windows 11 Guide shows you how to lock upgrades to higher versions of Windows.

A good example is blocking the upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11, something Microsoft constantly encourages us to do.

Why block Windows Update notifications about the need to upgrade to Windows 11?

There are many reasons to avoid an upgrade.

1. We still have software that may not work well Windows 11
2. The hardware we have is not compatible
3. We want the PC we work with to be 100% stable, without problems
4. In many cases, users simply do not want to change the operating system

Why is Windows sending us an urge to upgrade?

Microsoft, which develops Windows, has improved the Windows 11 operating system for data collection.

Not mention that Windows 10 does not collect data, but on Windows 11 this is much more efficient and deeper.

Collecting users’ personal data, that’s the effort, and the gold rush in the digital age, I would add.

Windows XP – very, very little data is collected, especially use and operation

Windows 7 – Relatively little data is collected, especially usage and operation

Windows 10 data collection becomes more efficient, personal data collection is improved

Windows 11 – in this version the data collection is perfect, the amount of personal information collected is very large, on iOS and Android.

Why is personal information collected?
If you ask the companies that develop the operating systems, they will answer you with the phrase «to improve the products, services, and user experience.

THE TRUTH is that the personal information collected is used to profile users for advertising, statistics, and other purposes. There may be many others

How do you stop messages from upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11?

There are several methods, but I will present the one that works on Windows 10 Home, but also on Windows 10 Pro.

1. open register ~ ~ POS = TRUNC from start / regedit or after ordering regedit in CMD
2. Should Computer \ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows \
3. If you do not have the WindowsUpdate key, you will need to create one named WindowsUpdate
4. Right-click on “Windows” New / Key – Name ” WindowsUpdate “
5. Now right click on the WindowsUpdate / New / DWORD (32bit) value key by name TargetReleaseVersion and value 1
6. After that, right-click on the key again WindowsUpdate / New / String Value after the name TargetReleaseVersionInfo , double click, and value data change to the current version of Windows
7. Find out the version with the “winver” command in CMD

We have made this above so that our Windows no longer takes into account other wonders received through the Windows update apart from what is required for the current version of the operating system.

From now on, you will receive updates only for your version of Windows, and you will not be bothered by banners urging you to upgrade to Windows 11 or higher.

Generally, nowadays many new devices have received Windows 11 Home by default, even though Windows 11 Home itself is actually sufficient to meet the daily needs of ordinary general users, but unfortunately, there are a number of feature limitations in the home version compared to the pro version, for example, it’s just the unavailability of the gpedit option and a number of other power tools.

Step 1. After having a license key you can just go to the Settings > System > Activation page.

Step 2 . In the Activation section, you can click the Change button in the Change product key section.

Step 3. After that, please enter your Windows 11 Pro license key, where this license contains 25 serial numbers that you get in the Windows 11 purchase package.

Click Next and then click Start, if the serial number matches, then Windows 11 Home will automatically change to Windows 11 Pro.

Upgrading Through the Microsoft Store Page

If by chance you don’t have a Windows 11 Pro serial number, you can also buy it and upgrade directly from the Microsoft Store page on Windows 11.

Step 1. First, go to Settings > System > Activation > Open Store.

Step 2. Next, you will be directed to the Upgrade page in the Microsoft Store, then you just have to buy it as usual by pressing the Buy button.

After you make the purchase process, the upgrade process should start immediately, this process takes about 30 minutes or less depending on the internet connection and the performance of the device you are using.
