Microsoft will start offering Windows 11 to qualifying devices on October 5. As it is a staggered rollout, it may take some time before it is offered to you, but you can get the RTM today if you want.
For those with a qualifying PC, Windows 11 will be offered for free to Windows 10 users starting on October 5. It will be a staggered rollout, so even if you qualify, it might not end up being offered on release day and possibly not for days or weeks after. However, it is entirely possible to upgrade your PC today if you qualify for it and we’re going to show you how! First of all, if you are unsure your PC meets the criteria for Windows 11, you can download the PC Health Check app, run it, and you will learn if you qualify. Assuming you do, follow the steps below. After you have restarted, here is the tricky part. Do not check for updates at the Windows Update settings page, because you will get Windows 10 21H2 offered, which is also in the Release Preview Channel.
