If you are not sure that your computer is eligible for the update or not. Microsoft has released the latest version of its ‘PC Health Check’ application, intended to assist the users in knowing about it precisely. The application is readily available to download from Windows 11 main page.
Here are the steps you can follow to check the compatibility of your laptop with windows 11:
Go to Microsoft’s official website and click on Windows 11. Look down to the Check compatibility section and click on the Download application.
Once Downloaded. Install the Microsoft PC Health Check application on your laptop.
Open the application, and at the landing page, you will see a notice that says ‘Introducing Windows 11’. Tap on the Check Now button.
If your system is compatible with the latest windows upgrade, it will flash a message that ‘This PC can run Windows 11’. With the windows update, Microsoft has also released the updated version of this application, which will now show the system requirements which are not present if your computer is not compatible with windows 11. You can see the complete rundown list of reasons why your computer will not be able to support Windows 11 updates.
If you have a computer that isn’t qualified for the update, Microsoft has assured you that you can keep using Windows 10 until October 14, 2025.
The Next Big Question after the update release arises about the pricing for the Microsoft Windows Operating system users. On the launch event of Windows 11 was revealed as a marvelous item with many exciting elements that will engage everybody, particularly the refreshed centralized position of the Start Menu, the refined edges, Teams update, Android applications, improved gaming experience, and much more. It is launched as a hybrid application suitable for everyone may it be for a person who just wants to have a great time or to an IT expert who will use it to make earning money more manageable. Indeed, Windows 11 has left the world awestruck and discussing about it, but nothing has got more consideration than its pricing.
Along with the availability of fancy features, Microsoft has also made Windows 11 download available for free for those who already use Windows 10 operating system.
The cost would entirely depend upon the hardware manufacturer for those who wish to buy Windows 11 enabled new devices.
The third option is a paid upgrade, where interested users would need to pay the predefined license amount set by Microsoft for buying the Windows 11 operating system.
Upgrading from Windows 10 will not be the only way to get Windows 11. Once it is released, new business laptops and computer systems will be made available in the market with a built-in Windows 11 operating system, invalidating the need to purchase the Windows 11 license independently. It’s difficult to say how much value each company will keep for their device; however, we can anticipate that the cost should be somewhere similar to that of Windows 10 hardware.
