Microsoft is thrilled to announce Windows 11 will start to become available on October 5, 2021.
According to Microsoft on October fifth free upgrades to Windows 11 will begin rolling out to eligible Windows 10 PCs and PCs that come pre-loaded with Windows 11 will start to become available for purchase. A new Windows experience, Windows 11 is designed to bring you closer to what you love.
As the PC continues to play a more central role in our lives than ever before, Windows 11 is ready to empower your productivity and inspire your creativity, according to Microsoft.
If you’re already on Windows 10, Windows 11 will be available for free, but Microsoft is suggesting this is only for a limited time.
As Windows 11 rolls out, it will also be arriving for newly sold PCs that were made before Windows 11 was launched. Microsoft advises consumers to look for branding on PCs that indicate they are eligible for the free Windows upgrade.
“We’re also working with our retail partners to make sure Windows 10 PCs you buy today are ready for the upgrade to Windows 11” Microsoft said.
The rollout to existing PCs running Windows 10 will take several months, Microsoft said that this process is likely to be “continuing into 2022” and generally it’s the newer PCs that get the upgrade first.
Thoughts
As with all new operating systems especially with Microsoft systems I recommend testing it before pushing it into a full time live environment.
History has proved that Windows 7 was a very good release, Windows 8 was a bad release, with Windows 10 a fix for the issues with Windows 8. Window 11 appears to a very hopeful release, and we have been testing our Adept Enterprise systems with the new Windows 11 release and it appears to be fast and stable. We will be doing further testing with the Windows 11 releases on and after October 5th.
I am hopeful that this Windows release will be a huge success, keep your fingers crossed.
