Windows 11 is the latest iteration of the long-running, world-famous operating system from Microsoft. Previously Microsoft had stated that Windows 10 would be the last iteration of the firmware, though even at the time this was met with some skepticism. Early indications do indicate however that Windows 11 will be more of a streamlining of the existing Windows 10 programming, rather than a complete overhaul, with the majority of changes being to the improved user interface and maximizing utility for tablet and non-desktop users.

See our article covering the official announcement of Windows 11 here for more details.

There’s no official word as of yet on the release date of Windows 11 to new customers, however, Microsoft has announced that Windows 11 will be released for Windows 10 PCs on October 5th, 2021!

Details on the price of the Windows 11 operating system were unfortunately non-existent from the official reveal on the 24th June 2021, however, Windows have definitively promised that for users who have official copies of Windows 10 installed and activated on their computers, the new Windows 11 will be free for at least a year.

How much we will have to fork out after this period has passed remains to be seen, as does the MSRP for new Windows users who do not already have Windows 10. As soon as we get any further details we’ll update this page so keep it bookmarked and refreshed!
