✅ The Easiest Way to Upgrade to Windows 11
If your device meets Windows 11’s requirements, the simplest upgrade path is through Windows Update on Windows 10. Here’s how:
Step 1: Update Windows 10 to the Latest Version
Open Settings: Press Win + I
or click Start → Settings.
Check for Updates: Go to Update & Security → Windows Update.
Install All Updates: Ensure Windows 10 is fully up-to-date. This step is essential because the upgrade option to Windows 11 appears only when Windows 10 is current.
Step 2: Check for the Windows 11 Upgrade
After updating Windows 10, go back to Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update.
Look for Upgrade Message: If your PC meets Windows 11 requirements, you’ll see a message offering a free upgrade. It might say:
Click Download and Install to start the upgrade process.
If You Don’t See the Upgrade Message
Your device may not meet the requirements, or Microsoft hasn’t rolled out the upgrade to your PC model yet.
You can use the PC Health Check app from Microsoft’s official website to confirm compatibility.
