Users who have stayed on Windows 10 now have a way to move directly to Windows 11 version 26H2, according to ITavisen. The Norwegian outlet reported on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, that the jump can be made without passing through the versions in between.
The report is framed around people who are still running the older operating system. According to ITavisen, those users can go straight to 26H2 rather than stepping through each intervening release first.
The material available does not specify how the direct upgrade is performed, which devices it covers, or whether any conditions apply. It also gives no detail on how long the option will remain available. Those points would need confirmation from Microsoft or from the full ITavisen article.
The headline points to a simpler route for anyone who has delayed leaving Windows 10. Rather than a staged migration across multiple updates, the reported path treats 26H2 as the single destination.
What to watch next: whether Microsoft confirms the direct upgrade path officially, and what it says about eligibility and timing for Windows 10 users.
