Microsoft says Windows 11 has now entered the broad deployment phase, making it available for everyone with an eligible device via Windows Update.
"The upgrade offer to Windows 11 is entering its final phase of availability and is designated for broad deployment for eligible devices," the company said in a Windows Health dashboard status update.
Microsoft also saw strong demand for Windows 11 since its release in October 2021, with customers upgrading their systems to Windows 11 at twice the rate seen with Windows 10.
Panos Panay, Microsoft's Chief Product Officer for Windows and Devices, added that Windows 11 has "The highest quality scores and product satisfaction" of any Windows version ever shipped.
Eligible devices are those with a Microsoft Account and eligible Windows releases and compatibility.
You can check if your Windows 10 device is eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade using the PC Health Check app or by checking Windows 11 specs, features, and computer requirements.
