Users who already have Windows 10/11 installed can of course also have a more convenient way through system updates, but as before, not everyone will get the update at once with Windows Update. Microsoft will use a staggered rollout in the coming weeks.

This helps ensure quality control, allowing Microsoft to pause the rollout if it finds any major bugs.

Users who already have qualifying devices running Windows 21H2 and are ready to experience the latest features can do so by opening Windows Update settings (Settings > Windows Update) and selecting Check for Updates.

If you’re upgrading from Windows 10, you’ll need to make sure your device meets the Windows 11 minimum requirements.

In Windows 10, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and check for updates, if your PC is up to spec and ready for an update, you’ll see an option to upgrade to Windows 11, just select “Download and Install” .
