We have recently talked at length about Windows 11, covering everything from the disk image leak that had been leaked at the time before the official presentation of the operating system, going through the presentation itself and even some additional data that have not been mentioned. in the same or that were expanded later.

However, this time we are going to discuss what many want to know, and that is how to install Windows 11 on a computer that we have, something that, although it is much simpler than many users would imagine, requires that our team have specific system requirements.

Since the official release of Windows 11, it is possible to install the operating system in the form of a Windows 10 update, or also from scratch, using a USB / DVD or also by downloading the ISO. In addition, we can download the latest beta versions if we access the Windows 11 Insider program. Next we will show you how to install Windows 11 with the different possible methods.

Ways to install Windows 11
To install Windows we can use different methods, the first one that came to light for any user was to make use of the Windows Insider program. This program allows us, free of charge, to test the latest versions of Windows to help with its development, a change to be able to use the complete system without requiring the purchase of an activation key.

However, after the release of the stable version of Windows 11, we can also use Microsoft's media creation utility, download the ISO image to mount it on our computer or in a virtual machine, or simply use the update wizard of the system, methods that we will see later and that are collected by Microsoft in this section of its website.

It should be noted that, as we mentioned above, before its official launch, the only way to install Windows 11 on our computer was to choose to be part of the Insider program, something that allows us to test the latest developments in Microsoft's operating system, and additionally we You will also be able to use the system on computers that do not meet current hardware requirements, at least to some extent.

However, there are reports that a clean installation of Windows 11 bypasses some system requirements checks, or at least, we have the option to modify some files to pass the checks, and although it is not something that we are going to cover in this guide, it is something that users can verify by installing with the new methods.

 

 

 

Finally, this link from Microsoft is a way that has traditionally been used by users to obtain some ISO images of Windows 10 in their Insider versions, but it seems that Microsoft is not included in providing the ISO images of Windows 11.

Minimum requirements to install Windows 11
To begin with, we are going to list the official requirements that Microsoft considers necessary, at the time of writing, to install Windows 11 and that, in general, will be applied directly in the installation wizard to allow us, or not, to update to Windows 11.

Graphics card: DirectX 12 or later compatible with WDDM 2.0 driver
As we can see, these are requirements that, although generally any computer should be able to assume, the simple fact of requiring specific processor brands and models without regard to their performance, but rather to their age, means that many users can reach fall behind in this regard.
