    Microsoft has finally released the Windows 11 version (22H2) 2022 Update. In this blog post, you will learn possible ways how to install Windows 11 on your PC/Laptop.

    Last year, when Windows 11 was rolled out, rounded corners, a new start menu, a centered taskbar, new desktop backgrounds, cool animations, and new sounds, were the main highlights.

    With Windows 11 22H2 update brings the possibility to group icons in the Start menu, drag-drop functionality on the Taskbar, File Explorer with Tabs, Taskbar overflow, New Snap layout drop-downs, and even more.

    Starting September 20, 2022, the company has already started rolling out Windows 11 version 22H2 to eligible devices. You need to keep in mind, the company is performing the rollout of the update in different phases. So it’s highly possible that you might not see an upgrade to Windows 11 option in Windows Update settings.

    If can’t wait to try Windows 11, then the first thing you need to make sure if your device meets the minimum requirement to install Windows 11 includes:

    • Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor System on a Chip (SoC)
    • RAM: 4 gigabytes (GB)
    • Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device
    • System firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable
    • TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0
    • Graphics card: Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver
    • Display: High definition (720p) display that is greater than 9” diagonally, 8 bits per color channel
    • Internet connection and Microsoft accounts: If you’re running Windows 10 Home edition, then you need to have Microsoft Account to install it. Learn How to Install Windows 11 Home without Microsoft Account or Internet Connection.

    You can also make use of Microsoft PC Health Check to figure out if your Windows 10 device can run Windows 11 or not.

    this pc can run windows 11

    If Yes, you will see a dialog with the message “This PC can run Windows 11“. Apart from that, if NO, then “This PC Can’t Run Windows 11“.

    Once you get the green signal from the app, then you can head over to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Here on the right side, check if you’re seeing the message “Upgrade to Windows 11 is ready- and it’s free”

    upgrade to windows 11 ready 1

    Here, click on Download and Install button and let the system complete the upgrade process.

    If not, click on Check for update button and let the system check if any update is available. If you won’t see the same message, then it is highly possible that an update is not available for your device.

    In this situation, you can force an upgrade to Windows 11 using Windows 11 Installation Assistant. For detailed instructions, check out the post on How to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

    In case, the PC health Check application is showing your device is incompatible due to TPM (it requires 2.0 or above), but your device is running TPM 1.2 then there’s a workaround to install Windows 11 on Unsupported PC.
