August 31 News, Microsoft has announced that the official version of Microsoft Windows 11 will begin offering free upgrades for eligible Windows 10 PCs on October 5, 2021(depending on the device), and that PCs pre-installed with Microsoft Windows 11 will go on sale.
Microsoft stressed that Android App support will come in a preview in a few months’ time, with no details disclosed.
Gadget Pixels understands that Microsoft’s free upgrade will begin on October 5, and they expect to be able to upgrade all eligible devices to Windows 11 for free by mid-2022, with a phased and evaluatable Microsoft Windows 11 free upgrade at this stage.
If you have a Microsoft Windows 10 PC that is eligible for an upgrade, Windows Update will notify you when that day comes. You can now check Windows 11 compatibility by settings > Windows Update > Check for Updates.
Of course, you can also choose to buy a brand new Microsoft Windows 11 PC, and perhaps Microsoft would prefer you to do the same.
Microsoft also summarizes 11 highlights of Win11:
- The new design and sound are more modern, clean and beautiful, refreshing, which will give users a sense of calm and relaxation.
- In the Start menu, we focus on the user and their content. With the power of the cloud and Microsoft 365, the Start menu shows users documents they’ve recently viewed on individual devices.
- Snap layout, snap groups, and virtual desktop capabilities give you more power to work on multiple tasks and optimize screen space at the same time.
- Chat based on Microsoft Teams technology is integrated into the taskbar, allowing you to stay in touch with the people you care about faster.
- Widgets is an AI-driven, personalized prompt feature that provides a faster way to get the information you care about. With the superior performance, speed, and productivity of Microsoft Edge browsers, you can do more on your web pages.
- Windows 11 provides the best Windows PC gaming experience ever, and with technologies such as DirectX12 Ultimate, Direct-Storage, and Auto HDR, it can realize the full potential of system hardware. With Xbox Game Pass for PC or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, players can play over a hundred great PC games (Xbox Game Pass single sale) on Microsoft Windows 11 for a very low subscription fee.
- Windows 11 brings a new Microsoft Store with a new design that makes it easier to search for and discover your favorite apps, games, shows, and movies on this trusted platform. We look forward to continuing to bring Android applications to Microsoft Windows 11 and the Microsoft Store in partnership with Amazon and Intel, and in the coming months, this feature will be available first for Windows Insider members.
- Windows 11 is an inclusive version of Windows, and engineers with disabilities are involved in its development process, specifically to further improve accessibility for people with disabilities.
- Windows 11 unlocks new opportunities for developers and creators. We continue to expand the openness of the Microsoft Store, enabling more and more developers and independent software vendors (ISVs) to bring their applications to the Microsoft Store, improving the development of local and web applications with new developer tools and making it easier for you to refresh the look and feel of all our application designs and experiences.
- Windows 11 optimizes speed, efficiency, and improves the touch, pen, and voice input experience.
- Windows 11 is an operating system for hybrid office, delivering a new experience for the way you work, ensuring security from design sources and having easy and familiar IT deployment and management. Starting today, enterprise users can also test Windows 11 previews in advance in Azure Virtual Desktop, or fully experience Microsoft Windows 11 in the new Windows 365.

WINDOWS 11 supports AMD processors, supported Intel processors, and supported Qualcomm processors.
In other respects, it is believed that most of the small partners who meet CPU conditions can meet the UEFI requirements of the motherboard and the DirectX 12-WDDM 2.0 requirements of the graphics card, while TPM 2.0 will need to check for support on its own (some models of Dell and HP that have been fined for legal reasons in our country do not support, others are supported).
