Windows' new operating system will be launched on October 5th, but not everyone will get Windows 11 at the same time. First and foremost, you must have a compatible PC. 

Windows 11 is the successor to Windows 10, and will be available as a free update to supported devices. At the same time, new PCs will be launched with Windows 11 pre-installed. 

Rolling Update

Even though Windows 11 will be officially launched on October 5th, it doesn't necessarily mean that the update will be available in Windows Update on day one for all Windows 10 users. 

You primarily need to have a compatible PC, in addition to the update being rolled out in waves, which means that some will receive the update before others. New PCs will be first, followed by PCs with Windows 10. When Windows 11 is available for your PC, the update will be ready in Windows Update. Microsoft expects that by mid-2022, all compatible devices can be upgraded to Windows 11.

High System Requirements for Update

Because Microsoft has introduced greater security and performance requirements, the following must now be met in order to upgrade: 

• Processor with minimum TPM 2.0 support

• 4 GB memory

• Minimum Direct x 12

• Minimum 9-inch screen with 720p resolution or better.

• UEFI, Secure Boot system
