With windows 11 now confirmed, I started to wonder would you install it.
Will you?
I myself will install it on my gaming PC, while my dell will remain on Hackintosh High Sierra, and my MacBook (13" 2010), the one this is being typed on will remain on Windows 7 (Yes, I know its out of support. I am an Idiot)
First time I’m hearing about Windows 11 (makes sense as apparently it was only just
annouced earlier today, and I don’t really pay much attention to things like that anyways 🥲).
Tbh idk. I only updated my Dell Venue 8 Pro (still a great tablet all these years later, despite the cracked screen
) from Windows 8 to 10 a few days ago, and I’m still getting used to the new layout.
I might update to 11 when it comes out if it’s not too big a hassle (originally, when I tried to update to Win 10 a few years ago, I think you had to pay money or something, so I didn’t bother at the time).
Meh, I have Windows 10 and it’s pretty okay.
Only if it has new features for gaming.
I bet you will probably be able to install Windows 11 without having to pay a penny, provided you have an activated version of Windows 10 and are running 21H4.
How will I know if I am running 21H4? Where will I find this information @Awesome_Aasim
? I know I’m running Windows 10, but they don’t announce their sub-version, so I would never know which pack I’m working with…
Well Microsoft released a new tool to help determine whether your device can run Windows 11. I am on mobile right now so I cannot link to it right now but I will link to it asap
Windows 11 is just Windows 10 21H2, and it will install just like any other feature update. There might be some changes to the install screen to make it look like it’s doing more, but it’s really just an update for Windows 10. The biggest change that I noticed is that it no longer supports legacy BIOS or 32-bit systems. Which means that the only thing that will really change is that older machines used by people who can’t afford a newer one won’t be able to run it.
You can see your Windows version by opening settings, clicking on system, then About in the bottom of the left pane, and then looking at the version line. Also, I’m pretty sure that @Awesome_Aasim
meant 21H1. If your version is out of date, then you can download the update by going to the update and security section of settings, check for updates, and then install any optional feature updates that appear. Microsoft will also automatically update your computer to it at some point in the future.

I don’t know which goof I just did, I just mixed up some numbers kekw
I probably meant “2104” lol
By the way, I’m a little confused. My system is a 64 bit processor, yet my version umber is 20H2. Will I be able to upgrade? I bought this computer in mid December 2015 - currently running Windows 10.
Yes, you will still be able to get the update. Your computer is new enough that it has a UEFI BIOS instead of a legacy BIOS. Also, Microsoft will eventually send the 21H1 update to your computer automatically (they may ask or notify you before they do so). They will also likely send the Windows 11 update to your computer automatically at some point (again, they may also ask or notify you before they do so).
If i’d have to pay, i’d stick with Windows 10 i’m mean 130 bucks no.
