Windows 11 is being rolled out to more PCs by Microsoft.
This week, Microsoft is expanding the availability of Windows 11 to more PCs. Following a limited initial release to mostly new PCs earlier this month, Microsoft is gradually expanding the availability of the free Windows 11 upgrade to more existing and eligible devices.
“The availability of Windows 11 has been increased and we are leveraging our latest generation machine learning model to offer the upgrade to an expanded set of eligible devices,” says Microsoft. “We will continue to train our machine learning model throughout the phased rollout to deliver a smooth upgrade experience.”
You might see the above prompt this week if you’ve been waiting for the Windows 11 upgrade to appear in Windows Update.
Microsoft doesn’t provide a list of devices that are now eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade, but if your PC meets the minimum system requirements, you’ll be able to get it through Windows Update. If you still don’t see the prompt and want to avoid the line, Microsoft provides a simple way to upgrade ahead of time. There are also ways to install Windows 11 on CPUs that aren’t supported. Although Microsoft does not recommend it and you may lose security updates in the future, the workaround is simple and does not require reinstalling Windows.
