When will I be able to buy a PC that has Windows 11 pre-installed?

Later this year, pre-installed Windows 11 PCs will be available.

A Windows 11 PC costs how much?

If I purchase a PC now, will Windows 11 work on it later?

Microsoft says that most PCs running Windows 10 will be able to upgrade to Windows 11; the PC, however, must meet certain specifications for certain features in order to do so.

A timeline for the update rollout is still being worked on, however, it is expected to begin by the end of 2021 and continue into 2022.

Is my new Windows 10 PC compatible with the minimum requirements?

You can determine this if you are shopping for a new PC by looking for the fact tag that says “free upgrade to Windows 11.” Additionally, you can also ask your retail sales representative.

How soon can I upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11?

Your existing Windows 10 PC that meets the minimum hardware specifications and is running Windows 10 will be able to upgrade to Windows 11. There will not be the option to upgrade all Windows 10 PCs to Windows 11 at once.

The PC Health Check app will let you know that your PC is eligible for an upgrade; once the upgrade rollout has started, you can check whether the update is available for your device by navigating to Settings/Windows Update.

How much hardware does Windows 11 require?

You can find information about Windows 11’s minimum hardware requirements here.

What are the system requirements for Windows 11 if I am using a Windows 10 PC?

Run the PC Health Check app to see if your current PC meets the minimum requirements. Install the PC Health Check app and once the upgrade rollout is complete, the update can be checked in Settings/Windows Updates to see if it is available for your device.

Can I stay on Windows 10 if my PC doesn’t meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11?

Indeed, Windows 10 remains one of the best versions of Windows, and Microsoft will continue to support it until October 14, 2025.
