Discussion Upgrading to Windows 11 from existing Windows 10 computer

[palmworks]

There is a program available for download to test your existing Windows 10 system and see if it is compatible for upgrade.

My 6 years old Windows 10 laptop tested - not upgradable.
My friend has a Microsoft surface laptop that he purchased new in 2018 tested - not upgradable to Windows 11.
I really want to know how current the systems required for upgrading to Windows 11.

Minimum system requirements can be found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11

As the OS is not available yet (not released), these requirements could change. There is no hurry.

Additionally, that compatibility tool is being updated daily.

I fully expect there will be more changes to the checker AND to the base Win 11 requirements.
