From Mr PMDG Himself

"When ready, the native-built 2024 versions of our 777-300ER and 777F are intended to be free upgrades for those who already own these two products, whether they purchased from PMDG or from Microsoft Marketplace.
There is one very important asterisk that I want to point out here: This plan is based upon statements made by Microsoft that indicate to us that a $0 cost, free upgrade path will be made available for us to give MSFS2020 users access to a native-built MSFS2024 version of their 2020 purchased products. If, due to circumstances beyond PMDG's control, we find that this expectation is not accurate, has been misstated, misunderstood or is found not to be possible due to policies within the MSMP system, some minimum purchase requirement may required of customers in MS Marketplace. Under those circumstances, we intend only to require the very minimum purchase that MS will allow for such a transition.
Again, at this juncture, based upon statements from Microsoft, we anticipate a free upgrade path that will allow Marketplace customers of the 777-300ER and 777F to receive the 2024 build of these products at no-cost.
PMDG.com customers can anticipate a free upgrade path for the MSFS2024 version, when it is available"

But, the statements from Microsoft have turned out not to be true. If i recall correctly they said they were sure all Market place purchases would move over seamlessly to 2024, with little or no issues. PMDG  737's being on the Market place, a customer could reasonably have expected their purchases to work without issue.

You're a bit selective in what you chose to copy as it also says......"If, due to circumstances beyond PMDG's control, we find that this expectation is not accurate, has been misstated, misunderstood or is found not to be possible due to policies within the MSMP system, some minimum purchase requirement may required of customers in MS Marketplace.

As the 2024 market place still isn't available I also think it's a little premature to say whether anything is true or not.
