Two Dimensions, One Clear Answer

WinUpgradeChecker evaluates your device along two independent dimensions — because "which Windows can I get?" and "which edition can I get?" are two different questions.

🧭

Version Dimension

Which Windows 11 release your current build can move to — for example Windows 10 22H2 → Windows 11 24H2 / 25H2 / 26H1 — along with the upgrade type (in-place / LTSC / IoT) and whether your files and applications are preserved.

Upgrade type: in-place / LTSC / IoT
🏷️

Edition Dimension

Which Windows editions your current edition can move to — for example Windows 11 Home → Windows 11 Pro. This is reported even when your build is already on the newest release, because an edition upgrade is an independent option.

Reported even on the newest release
About the asterisk (*). Paths marked with "*" may change your edition and therefore require a licensing / upgrade-path confirmation. WinUpgradeChecker reports these options so you know they exist — it never performs an upgrade or changes anything on your PC.

What the Window Shows

Everything you need on one screen. The tool scans the local machine automatically on launch — click "Detect again" to re-scan at any time.

🖥️

Current System

Product name, edition, version (e.g. 24H2), OS build, architecture, and OS family — a precise snapshot of what is installed right now.

🛤️

Upgrade Assessment

The recommended target release, the target edition, the upgrade relationship, whether data and apps are preserved, followed by relevant notes about your device.

🏷️

Edition Upgrade Options

Optional cross-edition targets available from your current edition — Home to Pro, Pro to Pro for Workstations, and similar paths, each clearly marked.

System Requirements

If your PC runs Windows 10 or Windows 11, it can run WinUpgradeChecker.

Item
Requirement
Operating system
Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit)
Architecture
x64 (AMD64) or ARM64
Runtime
None — the executable is self-contained
Disk space
Approx. 46 MB (single portable file)
Administrator
Not required
Portable and private by design. The program is a single portable executable. It does not write to the registry, does not install files outside its own folder, and does not run any background service. It reads local system information only, collects no data, and can be run directly from a USB drive or network share. It never performs an upgrade — it only shows you the options.

How to Run

Four steps. The first scan happens by itself.

1

Copy the file anywhere

Copy QdoShare WinUpgradeChecker.exe to any folder on your PC — or keep it on a USB drive.

2

Double-click to run it

There is nothing to install. The window opens straight away — no setup wizard, no license prompt.

3

Read the automatic scan

The tool scans the local machine automatically on launch and fills in Current System, Upgrade Assessment, and Edition Upgrade Options.

4

Click "Detect again" whenever you like

Re-scan at any time — useful after installing Windows updates or moving the tool to another PC. Use the contact link in the footer if a result looks unexpected.

Heads-up: WinUpgradeChecker tells you which targets your device is eligible for under the documented Windows 10 → Windows 11 upgrade policy. It does not perform the upgrade, download anything, or modify your installation — the actual upgrade is still done through Windows Update or your own deployment process.
