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.
