How to Upgrade to Windows 11 VMs in Azure Before Windows 10 Support Ends!
🚨 URGENT: Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025! If you're running Windows 10 Multi-Session in Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Citrix, or VMware, you CANNOT upgrade directly to Windows 11—Microsoft doesn't allow it!
❌ No in-place upgrade
❌ No Windows Update option
❌ No official support from Microsoft
But what if I told you there’s a workaround? 🤯
In this video, I’ll show you exactly how to bypass this limitation and upgrade Windows 10 Multi-Session to Windows 11, step by step.
🔥 What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to enable Trusted Launch, vTPM, and Secure Boot
✅ Convert Gen 1 VMs to Gen 2 for compatibility
✅ Perform the Windows 11 upgrade even when Microsoft says you can’t
⚠ WARNING: This is NOT an officially supported method. If possible, you should create a fresh image instead. But if you're out of time and have critical apps you can’t reinstall, this is your best shot.
