Windows 11 available on October 5


  • Staff
Today, we are thrilled to announce Windows 11 will start to become available on October 5, 2021. On this day, the free upgrade to Windows 11 will begin rolling out to eligible Windows 10 PCs and PCs that come pre-loaded with Windows 11 will start to become available for purchase. A new Windows experience, Windows 11 is designed to bring you closer to what you love.

As the PC continues to play a more central role in our lives than ever before — Windows 11 is ready to empower your productivity and inspire your creativity.

Here are 11 highlights of this release


1. The new design and sounds are modern, fresh, clean and beautiful, bringing you a sense of calm and ease.

2. With Start, we’ve put you and your content at the center. Start utilizes the power of the cloud and Microsoft 365 to show you your recent files no matter what device you were viewing them on.

3. Snap Layouts, Snap Groups and Desktops provide an even more powerful way to multitask and optimize your screen real estate.

4. Chat from Microsoft Teams integrated into the taskbar provides a faster way to connect to the people you care about.

5. Widgets, a new personalized feed powered by AI, provides a faster way to access the information you care about, and with Microsoft Edge’s world class performance, speed and productivity features you can get more done on the web.

6. Windows 11 delivers the best Windows ever for gaming and unlocks the full potential of your system’s hardware with technology like DirectX12 Ultimate, DirectStorage and Auto HDR. With Xbox Game Pass for PC or Ultimate you get access to over 100 high-quality PC games to play on Windows 11 for one low monthly price. (Xbox Game Pass sold separately.)


7. Windows 11 comes with a new Microsoft Store rebuilt with an all-new design making it easier to search and discover your favorite apps, games, shows, and movies in one trusted location. We look forward to continuing our journey to bring Android apps to Windows 11 and the Microsoft Store through our collaboration with Amazon and Intel; this will start with a preview for Windows Insiders over the coming months.

8. Windows 11 is the most inclusively designed version of Windows with new accessibility improvements that were built for and by people with disabilities.

9. Windows 11 unlocks new opportunities for developers and creators. We are opening the Store to allow more developers and independent software vendors (ISVs) to bring their apps to the Store, improving native and web app development with new developer tools, and making it easier for you to refresh the look and feel across all our app designs and experiences.

10. Windows 11 is optimized for speed, efficiency and improved experiences with touch, digital pen and voice input.

11. Windows 11 is the operating system for hybrid work, delivering new experiences that work how you work, are secure by design, and easy and familiar for IT to deploy and manage. Businesses can also test Windows 11 in preview today in Azure Virtual Desktop, or at general availability by experiencing Windows 11 in the new Windows 365.

Thank you to the Windows Insider Community


The Windows Insider community has been an invaluable community in helping us get to where we are today. Since the first Insider Preview Build was released in June, the engagement and feedback has been unprecedented. The team has also enjoyed sharing more behind the scenes stories on the development of Windows 11 in a new series we launched in June, Inside Windows 11. We sincerely appreciate the energy and enthusiasm from this community.

Rolling out the free upgrade to Windows 11 in a phased and measured approach


The free upgrade to Windows 11 starts on October 5 and will be phased and measured with a focus on quality. Following the tremendous learnings from Windows 10, we want to make sure we’re providing you with the best possible experience. That means new eligible devices will be offered the upgrade first. The upgrade will then roll out over time to in-market devices based on intelligence models that consider hardware eligibility, reliability metrics, age of device and other factors that impact the upgrade experience. We expect all eligible devices to be offered the free upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022. If you have a Windows 10 PC that’s eligible for the upgrade, Windows Update will let you know when it’s available. You can also check to see if Windows 11 is ready for your device by going to Settings > Windows Update and select Check for updates*.

Ready to elevate to 11? There’s never been a better time to purchase a new PC


October 5 is right around the corner — and there are a few things you can do to get ready for Windows 11. First, if you’re in need of a new PC now — don’t wait. You can get all the power and performance of a new Windows 10 PC and upgrade to Windows 11 for free after the rollout begins on October 5**.

We’ve worked closely with our OEM and retail partners to bring you powerful Windows 10 PCs today, that will take you into the future with Windows 11. Here are a few to check out.

So Windows 11 require disc with 8GB ?
That's just for complete ISO
Hi there
If you already have .194 is this version any different

I currently have this (before messing about with todays iso download)

View attachment 8999

So what's all the fuss been about "Oct 5th" if the iso is merely a copy of what's been available for a considerable time already.
The only new thing so far is a DEV release which is hardly designed for "Mass public take up".

So I'm confused -- is the .194 version now the current "RTM" version that we've all been waiting for.

Cheers

Is same, it would seem. Don’t really know how it differs. There probably is some code changing it from RP to official release???

This site is in dutch....just translate to english

Hi there
can read Dutch - worked a long time in Brussels at EU commission so can handle Flemish. The site doesn't seem to answer the question --If you already have .194 is there any advantage or even any point in grabbing the iso from Ms. Perhaps the only way is to compare the one on UUPDUMP made available last month with the current one.

I'll try the latest DEV pre-release build though until there's more info on this "Official Build".

I would have thought unlikely. Even if there is, the next CU should re-align them.

    With all this gaming rig I am not a gamer!
Well, I updated to W11 and went to check status of Insider as I had selected option to leave RP Channel on major upgrade, and the Insider status page is blank, with just a couple of the help links.

I had this problem with the test version of 22000.194 in the hyperV version but interestingly not in the Dev VM version.

I tried various options e.g. sfc /scannow, upgrade repair etc but no sign of the insider status. On a clean install of iso in a vm status show up ok.

So there is some upgrade bug as far as I can tell. Without any status, I cannot tell if still on RP channel and no option join or move channels.

So currently back to W10 via good old Reflect.

Hi folks

I'll install anyway -- then do it again with EN-GB as download only takes a few minutes.

Note - working installing via RUFUS as WintoGO system -- although Rufus 3.15 seems slightly broken -- it wouldn't work on SSD connected to computer via USB-SATA adapter but a bog standard USB3 ext drive worked OK --then I simply copied image to SSD.

Doing it via RUFUS with the iso downloaded from Ms (downloaded from a Linux system with firefox so avoided any Validation of hardware checks ) seems to install -- hardware definitely would fail on CPU but does have TPM and sec. boot available.

Seems that it's some build of .194 so what the difference is - I hope others will perhaps enlighten me later.
Note also that the iso isn't yet on UUPDUMP (as of 10.36 GMT today)

@Try3 - will download the "Int'l English" version - confusing though since English should be by default GB English --they invented it !!! and Int'l English by definition should be all the other English speaking countries -- but what would Ms be if it didn't confuse people.

Cheers

At UUPDump...what does these mean? I know what the CU does, but what about the upgrade and upgrade 2?

If you click on the "upgrade" versions they give the following message

"This update does not have a generated pack that provides full information about available languages, editions and files. The fallback pack will be used, and it may not provide the correct information. If the download fails because of this, please wait a while for the pack to become available."

and download fails......

Hi there
you can see as well that the .194 build was available around the 16 september so with "todays" download from the Ms site also showing build .194 one has to query what was all the Oct 5th fuss about --unless there's a new edition that will appear later today !!!

Cheers

Thanks guys...didn't become much wiser though. Sucking down the CU version files and creating the ISO as usual. At least I know what I get. 😄

October 5th is when it becomes generally available to non-insiders and will start to be offered via WU.

Also I'm certain that if you're on Beta/RP and your build is 22000.194 then it's eaxctly the same as RTM if that too is 22000.194. Cannot believe MS would ship two different versions of 22000.194. Possibly there'll be a CU either today, or next Tuesday. But if you're on RP I would expect to get it earlier than that.

So Windows 11 require disc with 8GB ?
If you need to put the W11 installer on a DVD, then use the MCT to make an ISO. This has an install.esd which is more compressed than the install.wim used in the ISO you can download directly. The direct download ISO is too large to fit on a single layer DVD. At 4.16GB the ISO made by the MCT should just fit on one.

There will definitely be a CU next Tuesday. There are always new security patches for newly discovered issues. These are issued in the Patch Tuesday CU, even if the OS itself has no bugs to fix.
