Windows 11 24H2: Upgrade from 23H2 or 22H2 (early)
Starting January 26, 2022, Windows 11 will be fully available to download and install through Windows Update on devices that meet the minimum system requirements. Although the new version of Windows launched on October 5, 2021, it was only available for a limited number of devices, but it is now generally available for eligible computers.
According to a new update on the Health Dashboard website, Windows 11 is now in the "final phase of availability" and is ready for wider deployment to eligible computers. The announcement simply means that the operating system no longer has any significant issues and should be compatible with most hardware and software configurations.
Microsoft also says there is "strong demand and preference for Windows 11, with people upgrading their eligible PCs twice as fast as we saw with Windows 10." The original plan was to continue the slow rollout until mid-2022. However, due to high demand, the company decided to speed up the rollout.
