Windows 11 Launch: Windows 11, which was announced late in June of this year, will be released to supported PCs on October 5.
Windows 11 will be available as a free update for eligible Windows 10 PCs, with priority given to newly released devices that are compatible with the operating system.
Microsoft will bring out Windows 11 in phases, with older systems receiving the update after the most recent devices in international markets, according to a company spokesperson. Microsoft has stated in a recent blog post that the deployment will be “phased and managed, with a strong emphasis on quality.” The business anticipates that the deployment will be completed to all compatible devices by the middle of next year.
The next Windows operating system will include a totally revamped interface, including a new location for the Start menu, new icons and themes, softer graphics, and other enhancements and modifications. It also provides many speed enhancements when compared to Windows 10, with the latter boasting more power economy and 40 percent smaller updates that would run in the background than the former.
