How to Upgrade Your PC to Windows 11?

Windows 11 was scheduled to launch on 5 Oct 2021. The official release version of Windows 11 is now available as a free upgrade to anyone with Windows 10 and a PC that meets Microsoft’s minimum hardware requirements. Luckily, you don’t have to wait for the Windows Update. You will receive an update notification if your PC features TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and other requirements. If your computer does not support Windows 11 requirements, you can download it manually from the Microsoft server and install a fresh OS.

This risewindows article will show you how to upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10. To start completely fresh on a new PC, you should download a Windows 11 ISO and do a clean install. And, if you don’t like the new OS, you can always uninstall Windows 11.

How to Check if Windows 11 Supports Your PC?

First, download and run Microsoft’s PC Health Check app to check if Windows 11 officially supports your PC hardware. Then, click the Check Now button in the tool, and it will tell you whether Windows 11 officially supports your PC.

In case your PC does not support Windows 11, the tool will give you information about why. Although, if your PC doesn’t pass the test, you do not need to worry. You can still upgrade to Windows 11, anyway. But Microsoft warns you may experience problems and won’t guarantee future updates for Windows on your hardware.

How to Upgrade Your PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11?

Here, navigate Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update on your Windows 10 PC to upgrade your PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Now, click the “Check for updates” button to see if any updates are available. Then, if your PC is ready for Windows 11, you’ll see an “Upgrade to Windows 11 is ready—and it’s free!” banner here.

After that, click “Download and install” to get it. Next, click the button “Stay on Windows 10 for now” if you are not ready to switch to Windows 11. You can stop your PC from getting the Windows 11 update by doing this.

Finally, if you have no option and still want to download the latest version of the PC, you’ll need to download a Windows 11 ISO and install it manually.

That’s it for the article.
