Microsoft announce Windows 11 release date is set for 5th October 2021. The free upgrade to Windows 11 would begin rolling out to all eligible Windows 10 PCs and the PCs that come preloaded with the next-generation Windows operating system will become available on sale.
The Windows 11 version will bring a list of changes which includes the refresh interface and a centrally placed Start menu.
It will not include support for Android apps at the time of its official release in October.
Microsoft will start rolling out Windows 11 to eligible Windows 10 PCs from 5th October 2021 though not all PCs will get updated to the new version on day one.
The update will be available in phases.
Windows Update will allow users to know when Windows 11 is available to their existing Windows 10 PCs.
Users will be able to look for the update by going to Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.
Microsoft has promise to relaunch the PC Health Check app soon to let users check the eligibility status of their Windows 10 PCs.
Users can get the PC Health Check app in preview if you’re a member of the Windows Insider programme.
You can also look at Windows 11 minimum system requirements to determine whether your PC stands eligible to receive the new operating system update.
Windows 11 was originally announce to be available as an update on PCs carrying the latest CPUs, though Microsoft last week updated its minimum system requirements to include support for older Intel CPUs.
If you own a PC that isn’t eligible for Windows 11 then Microsoft has assure to continue supporting Windows 10 through 14th October 2025.
Microsoft also recently announce new features including Windows Hello improvements and WPA3 H2E Wi-Fi support that will be a part of Windows 10 later this year.
We can safely expect that Android apps support on Windows 11 will not be available to end users until 2022 as Microsoft normally takes a few months in testing a new update under its Windows Insider programme.
