Windows 11 upgrade coming later this year

Microsoft has already confirmed that the Windows 11 upgrade could be offered to eligible devices at the end of 2021, although the company says the promo will continue into 2022 as well.

"Most Windows 10 PCs currently being sold can upgrade to Windows 11. For the PC to be able to upgrade to Windows 11, it has to satisfy the minimum hardware specifications and particular hardware is required for many features. The upgrade rollout plan's still being finalized but is scheduled to start late in 2021 and continue into 2022. Specific timing will vary by device," Microsoft explains.

Windows 11 happens to be readily available for testing included in the Windows Insider program, and users who wish to determine whether their computers are eligible to obtain the new operating system can install laptop computer Health Check app that evaluates their hardware and determines if Windows 11 can operate correctly in line with the available configuration.
