Microsoft is now rolling out the Windows 11 upgrade to more eligible Windows devices as part of a phased rollout designed to deliver a smooth upgrade experience.
"The availability of Windows 11 has been increased and we are leveraging our latest generation machine learning model to offer the upgrade to an expanded set of eligible devices," Microsoft said in an update to the Windows health dashboard.
Microsoft released Windows 11 worldwide on October 5 and is now rolling it out via Windows Update to new Windows 10 devices and those pre-loaded with Windows 11.
Windows 10 users can upgrade to Windows 11 via Windows Update as long as their computers come with compatible hardware.
Customers using Windows 10 can also determine if their devices are eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade using the PC Health Check application.
PC Health Check is a diagnostics tool Microsoft created and released together with Windows 11 to analyze devices' hardware and check if they're compatible with Windows 11.
