If your computer is already running Windows 10 and it meets the hardware requirements for Windows 11, you should be eligible for a free upgrade. Microsoft announced that Windows 11 is available as a free upgrade for compatible Windows 10 devices, much like the upgrade from Windows 7 to 10.
To upgrade, ensure your PC meets the system requirements, which are a bit stricter this time around. Key requirements include a compatible 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage among other specifications. You can check compatibility using Microsoft's PC Health Check tool.
In terms of improvements, Windows 11 offers a refreshed and centered Start menu, better virtual desktop support, a new layout for snapping windows, and a Microsoft Store with more apps than before, among other features. It's designed to be more modern and productivity-focused.
That said, whether it's worth it depends on your needs. If the new features sound appealing and your system is compatible, it could be a good update to consider. However, if your current setup works well and you don't feel the need for these enhancements, you might choose to wait. Keep an eye out for any compatibility issues reported by other users with similar hardware, just to be safe.
