[Windows 11] How to upgrade to Windows 11

If your existing Windows 10 PC is running the most current version of Windows 10 and meets the minimum hardware specifications it will be able to upgrade to Windows 11. The upgrade rollout plan is still being finalized, but for most devices already in use today, we expect it to be ready sometime in early 2022. Not all Windows 10 PCs that are eligible to upgrade to Windows 11 will be offered to upgrade at the same time. To see if your PC is eligible to upgrade, you can download and run the PC Health Check app to determine if your PC is eligible to upgrade to Windows 11.

Note: According to the Microsoft statement, all your files and data will transfer after upgrading. However, we recommend backing up your files before installation. Learn more about OneDrive PC folder Backup.
