How much does Windows 11 cost? Will my PC be compatible?

How much does Windows 11 cost? After touching major changes in Microsoft operating system, the question may arise as to whether the interface or functionality. The publisher promised everyone: the update will be free.

Just as it was provided for free to Windows 10 and Windows 7 and 8 users, Windows 11 will be free to anyone with a Windows 10 license. As for the release date, Microsoft is vague, citing the holiday season. This would be a great gift for millions of PC owners!

Which PC for Windows 11?

If Windows 11 is a free update, you may have to worry about your computer’s ability to accommodate the latest version of the OS. Microsoft said you need a computer with a 64 bit processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Both Intel and AMD processors are supported, but apparently not all are compatible.

For Intel, 8th Gen Chips (Coffee Lake), 9th Gen. (Coffee Lake Update), 10th Gen. (Comet Lake) and 11th Gen. (Rocket Lake and Tiger Lake) Supported, such as Zion Skylake, Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake and Ice Lake. On the AMD side, the supported processors are Raison 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, as well as ThreadTripper 2000 and 3000, ThreadTripper Pro3000, as well as 2nd General and 3rd General EPOCs.

Microsoft states that Windows 11 can be installed on older processors, but in this case the performance may be lower. Additionally, support for these PCs is not guaranteed. Windows 11 will be offered via the regular OS update system, which already distributes newer versions of Windows 10.
