Microsoft has now released Windows 11 as a free upgrade for people running Windows 10, and on this page you'll find out everything you need to know about the new operating system.

From the Windows 11 price and release date, to how to download it and what the best Windows 11 features are, we answer all of your burning questions.

If you'd like to try it out, we have a guide on how to download and install Windows 11. As with any operating system launch, there are some issues, so make sure you check out our how to fix common Windows 11 problems guide if you encounter any.

From what we’ve seen during our Windows 11 review, this new operating system brings numerous improvements, such as an attractive, modern design, better security and new ways to find and download apps. 
So far, it’s shaped up to be a promising operating system, even if there are still opportunities for deeper improvements. And, if you’re currently using Windows 10, you’ll be happy to know that you'll be eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11, provided that your laptop or PC meets the strict minimum system requirements that Microsoft has put into place in the name of future security. 

Just bear in mind that there's still some confusion as to what these system requirements are due to a component called TPM (Trusted Platform Module). Right now, it looks like Microsoft isn't going to budge on its requirement that your device is equipped with a TPM 2.0 in order to run a fully supported version of the new OS.

Now that Windows 11 has been released, let’s take a look at what the new operating system has on offer, from its updated features to the benefits it has for users over Windows 10.
