Microsoft dropping hints October could bring us the new OS
Microsoft has already announced the new Windows 11, but the company hasn’t shared a specific ETA as to when the operating system could become available for the first users.
But on the other hand, more and more hints reveal that Windows 11 will launch in October, possibly on the 20th, though at the first glance, it’s a little bit earlier for the release date to be set in stone.
However, the timing seems to make perfect sense, especially because Microsoft itself claimed the new OS would become available later this year.
“Windows 11 will be available through a free upgrade for eligible Windows 10 PCs and on new PCs beginning this holiday. To check if your current Windows 10 PC is eligible for the free upgrade to Windows 11, visit Windows.com to download the PC Health Check app,” Microsoft said in the official announcement.
“We’re also working with our retail partners to make sure Windows 10 PCs you buy today are ready for the upgrade to Windows 11. The free upgrade will begin to roll out to eligible Windows 10 PCs this holiday and continuing into 2022. And next week, we’ll begin to share an early build of Windows 11 to the Windows Insider Program – this is a passionate community of Windows fans whose feedback is important to us.”
New Windows 10 feature update also coming
Windows 11 will launch alongside a new Windows 10 feature update that will land as version 21H2.
According to Microsoft’s typical release calendar, the fall feature update goes live in October or November, with insiders getting their hands on the final build a few weeks earlier.
It remains to be seen if the development stage of Windows 11 goes according to the plan so Microsoft can stick with the October launch date, but expect more information on the new OS ETA to make the headlines as we approach the fall.
