Windows 11 system requirements (opens in new tab): check to see if your PC can run it.

Windows 11 review (opens in new tab): Our verdict is in.

You'll be able to try Windows 11 starting today, with free updates becoming available to those upgrading from Windows 10 between now and mid-2022 - providing you have a desktop or laptop with the right specs to handle Windows 11. But we were also critical of the demanding system requirements and some missing features at launch (like Android apps).

We praised Windows 11 for its new clean and attractive look, combined with more intuitive menus and improved tools. There’s a redesigned Start menu that provides quick access to a multitude of apps and tools, and multitaskers will appreciate Snap Assist, Layouts and Groups, which gives you more control over your desktop and apps. To celebrate Windows 11 launch day we ran a liveblog covering all the reactions as the next generation of Windows rolled out across the world - though since it's a staged rollout, some Windows 10 PCs won't get offered the upgrade until 2022!īut there's some cool new features to get excited about.

Microsoft's new Windows 11 operating system officially launched today (October 5th), and we’ve got the lowdown on all the new features in our Windows 11 review.
