However, remember that the tool isn’t perfect and it can incorrectly flag compatible PCs as “unsupported”. To see if your PC is able to run the upcoming Windows version, you can use the PC Health Check tool. It’s also worth pointing out that Windows 11 requires newer CPUs and TPM 2.0, so if don’t meet the new hardware requirements, you will not be able to upgrade to the new operating system officially.Īccording to documents, the new Windows will be officially supported on PCs using Intel’s 8th-gen chip, Ryzen 2000 or newer.
It’s also worth noting that Microsoft will be rolling out the update in multiple stages, with the first wave including flagship products tested by Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo and other OEM partners.Īs for a firm release date, details are thin. If you prefer Windows Update (OTA) process, you’ll have to wait until at least early 2022 to upgrade to the new OS. It is possible that the update will be offered via Media Creation Tool / Update Assistant later this year, but it will only start rolling out to most mainstream users in early 2022 via Windows Update. The rollout of the upgrade to Windows 10 devices already in use today will begin in 2022 through the first half of that year.
Windows 11 is due out later in 2021 and will be delivered over several months. According to the social media handle, which is generally not a reliable source of info, the rollout of the upgrade will begin in 2022. This is according to a tweet from the official Windows Twitter account. While Microsoft is planning to make Windows update available to mainstream users this fall, a wider rollout is now expected to start in early 2022 only. Windows 11 wider rollout is expected in 2022
It’s worth noting that Microsoft officials haven’t said anything about the October release, but we know that Microsoft has already released a near-final version of Windows 11 to PC makers and Windows Insider testers are expected to get the first preview later this week. The Walmart leak doesn’t give too much more away other than referencing the “free upgrade to Windows” and “October 2021” timeline, but given this in on the official website, it is another hint that we could see a proper release sooner than expected.
Additionally, a new Walmart retail listing suggests Windows 11 will be released in October 2021.
