Windows and apps feature simple gradient backgrounds, as well as rounded corners. The operating system also has a more modern design based on Fluent Design. The operating system windows can be reset more quickly thanks to Snap Layout. In terms of functionality, Windows 11 includes many interesting new features, such as the ability to run Android applications natively. The search is faster, and you have a new Widgets section to view news, weather, and the stock market. The start menu was simplified to show the most used apps and new installations. The taskbar has a more minimalist design with centered icons. Windows 11 removes some features from Windows 11 while adding and improving others. Although it was initially planned as an aesthetic and functional improvement over Windows 10, Microsoft decided to launch it as a new version in October 2021. The good news is Microsoft has a simple workout process you can follow if that happens.Windows 11 is the latest version of Microsoft's operating system. If you upgrade multiple components in your PC over time, Windows 11 may think you’ve bought a new PC and refuse to register the licence.
So if you need to format your computer for any reason, Windows 11 will reactivate automatically. There are hacks around it but for most users I don’t see this being a big issue.įinal Tip: a Windows 11 licence is tied to your hardware. The installation takes some time, involves several restarts and you will need a Microsoft account. Remember to select the option to Keep personal files and apps.Once downloaded, follow the installation guide prompts.For most users, I recommend ‘Installation Assistant’ but there is also an option to create a boot drive for clean installs.Click on the Windows 11 download page link here.Install Windows 11 Manually (via Assistant) Just navigate to: Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates and Windows 11 should show up, if your PC is compatible.
Install Windows 11 Via Windows 10 Settings Tip: always backup your PC before upgrading to a new operating system or at least ensure your important files and documents are saved elsewhere, such as a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox. With that caveat out the way, if your PC qualifies, this is how you get Windows 11 for free.
Windows 11 can be tricked to run on older PCs, but that seems a pointless endeavour because Microsoft is refusing to guarantee access to feature and security updates. But if you have a modern PC and choose to run an older operating system, then you can first get a free Windows 10 upgrade and use that to then jump to Windows 11. If you run Windows 7 / 8 it is highly unlikely your computer meets all these requirements.
