How to Prepare Your PC for the Free Upgrade to Windows 11

Are you excited about the upcoming release of Windows 11, but wondering if your current Windows 10 PC is ready for the update? Microsoft has announced that the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11 are available online. To check if your PC meets these requirements, you can visit the Microsoft website and download the PC Health Check app.

The good news is that most Windows 10 PCs currently being sold will be able to upgrade to Windows 11 free of charge. However, not all Windows 10 PCs that are eligible to upgrade at the same time, so it's essential to check if your device is eligible for the update.

To see if your PC is ready for the upgrade, you can go to Settings > Windows Updates and look for any available updates. Alternatively, you can download and run the PC Health Check app to determine if your PC is eligible to upgrade to Windows 11.

It's also important to note that not all accessories will work with Windows 11, so it's a good idea to check with your accessory manufacturer before upgrading. If your accessories worked with Windows 10 and meet the Windows 11 requirements, they should work with Windows 11.

The final rollout plan is still being finalized, but for most devices already in use today, we expect it to be ready sometime in early 2022. When you're ready to upgrade, you'll be able to do so through the Windows Update settings on your device.

Windows 11 has a refreshed look and feel, with new tools, sounds, and apps that will give you a refreshing experience on your PC. It also comes with all the power and security of Windows 10, making it an exciting upgrade for anyone looking to future-proof their device.
