You can now download Windows 11: Microsoft is a few hours ahead and has already started a deployment that can still last months

Windows 11 is now available for testing on computers that want it. The day set for its launch was today, October 5, but since last night Microsoft has started to launch it in different markets and as usual with Microsoft updates, will do it automatically progressive

"

If a few hours ago we saw how to get hold of Windows 11, the requirements that your PC will have to meet and some previous considerations, now is the time to go to Windows Update in case we already have the download active to be able to install Windows 11"

A process that can take months

"

Windows 11 was presented before the summer as Microsoft&39;s great bet. A version of Windows that arrives with important aesthetic changes, at least as far as first glance is concerned. A new Microsoft store arrives which, as we have seen, introduces third-party stores, redesigned applications such as clipping or Your Phone, a new Photos app>"

The visual changes are highlighted by a softer design with plenty of transparency and highlighting a true OS-wide dark modeWe also have a new iconography with a new logo and new icons for apps and folders.

A version of Windows that, however, and as a counterpoint, has seen how some classic functions are lost and where the taskbar has lost part of its potentialby not being able to move, resize or work on it with shortcuts.In addition, one of the big bets, such as being able to use Android applications, is not yet available.

"

And having said all this, the good and the less good that comes with Windows 11, if you have a PC with Windows 10 and an official license, you can already test if you have the download available on Windows Update. Remember that as the deployment will be gradual, even if you have a compatible device it may take days or weeks to receive the notice."

"

In this sense, Microsoft indicates that recently purchased Windows 10 devices that are eligible for the update will be able to update starting today. The rest will have to wait, although, according to Microsoft, they expect all eligible Windows 10 devices to be offered the upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022. That is, they wait a few months until all PCs can upgrade. "
