<keyword id="10387" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="microsoft" source="Orion">Microsoft</keyword> on Tuesday announced that <keyword id="11902444" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Windows-11" source="Orion">Windows 11</keyword> will launch on October 5, on existing PCs that are eligible for Windows 11 as well as new PCs with Windows 11 pre-installed. "The free upgrade to Windows 11 will begin rolling out to eligible Windows 10 PCs and PCs that come pre-loaded with Windows 11 will start to become available for purchase. A new Windows experience, Windows 11, is designed to bring you closer to what you love," the tech giant said in a statement. The rollout of Windows 11 will take a measured and phased approach, just like previous Windows 10 feature updates. A user can check for device's update to Windows 11 post-October 5 by heading to Settings &gt; Windows Update and select Check for updates. Introduced in July, Windows 11 comes with a sleeker look and layouts for snapping applications to the screen, more detailed widgets, a revamped Microsoft Store, and support for <keyword id="6355645" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="android" source="Orion">Android</keyword> apps. Microsoft has already revealed basic requirements for running Windows 11 on a PC. It will need a processor that has two or more cores and a clock speed of 1GHz or higher along with 4GB RAM and at least 64GB storage. The firm recently announced Windows 11 will officially support <keyword id="11976207" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="intel-core-x-series" source="Orion">Intel Core X-series</keyword>, Xeon W-series, and the Intel Core 7820HQ.

Windows 11 to rollout on October 5 for regular users as free update

This should come as a relief to many PC users who have an Asus motherboard. The new firmware for Asus motherboards would allow users to upgrade to Windows 11 without any modifications in the motherboard settings in the BIOS. It is worth noting that at the moment, Asus is working on <a href="https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z270f-gaming-model/helpdesk_bios">firmware updates</a> for Intel motherboards. AMD motherboards will likely be worked upon later. It’s worth noting that the Strix Z270F motherboard supports Intel’s 7th generation processors – also known as Kaby Lake. Apart from this, the Intel Celeron G3900 and sixth-gen Intel Core i3 6098P processor are also supported by the Z270F motherboard. It is worth pointing out that these firmware updates are still in beta and could likely be buggy, so proceed with caution. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Windows 11 minimum requirements" comment="subhead" text="Windows 11 minimum requirements">Windows 11 minimum requirements</cmsannotation> Microsoft has outlined some of the minimum hardware requirements to run Windows 11.

In addition to this, Microsoft also added the Intel Core X and Xeon W series to its list of supported processors. Now, according to a report by <a href="https://www.pcworld.com/article/3631609/the-gotcha-installing-windows-11-on-an-unsupported-pc-disables-updates.html">PCWorld</a>, Microsoft will indeed let users with these unsupported processors install the Windows 11 update on their computers. However, the company says that this is only for “temporary use”, and that users will not be guaranteed updates – this includes even security updates. This will leave those unsupported computers at a major security risk. It is not clear if Microsoft will change course on this and push out security updates without any major fuss, or if it will actually follow through on its warning and ban these unsupported computers from installing any updates whatsoever. So far, the company has maintained vagueness in whether or not these unsupported computers will be able to get any Windows 11 update. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Windows 11 minimum requirements" comment="subhead" text="Windows 11 minimum requirements">Windows 11 minimum requirements</cmsannotation> Microsoft also outlined some of the minimum hardware requirements to run Windows 11.
