Microsoft has inadvertently broken the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool (MCT) ahead of Windows 10's end-of-life, which is scheduled for October 14, 2025.
As a result, the MCT fails to work on Windows 10 PCs, making it difficult for users to upgrade to Windows 11. However, workarounds are available, although a timeline for a fix has not been provided.
With Windows 10 reaching its end-of-life, users will no longer receive free security updates or bug fixes, making their PCs more vulnerable to security risks.
After this date, if you are still using Windows 10, you will not get any free security updates or bug fixes.
It is essential for users to upgrade to Windows 11, if their PC supports it, to ensure continued security and support.
Autor's summary: Microsoft broke Windows 11 upgrade tool.
