Windows 11 has officially launched, can be downloaded and installed now!

However, unlike the version of Windows 10 that does not require too much hardware, Windows 11 requires the computer to have an Intel 8th generation CPU or higher or an AMD Zen 2 CPU or later, with UEFI and TPM 2.0. You'll also need at least 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. If your computer does not meet the requirements, you will not receive Windows 11 updates.

If you still want to install and use Windows 11 on a computer with an unsatisfactory configuration, you will not receive future updates. And the installation will have to take place manually through the iOS package to install Windows 11.

In order to update Windows 11 smoothly, Microsoft has made available to users 03 "orthodox" forms to install here, specifically as follows.

Method 1. Windows 11 Installation Assistant Tool
