Windows 11 is coming later this year

Microsoft introduced Windows 11, the next generation of its operating system, which will begin to arrive for free on compatible Windows 10 computers later this year.

Windows 11 is a redesign of the operating system, focused on productivity. Bet on the cloud, to adapt to work and study environments that are not limited to the interior of four walls, and to an interface optimized for different types of screen, with customization possibilities and separate configurations for each situation.

However, this version demands minimum requirements for a team to be able to update to it, as stated by Microsoft. Specifically, a 64-bit system on chip (SoC) or processor, with a frequency of at least 1GHz or two or more cores. Also a RAM of at least 4GB and internal capacity of 64GB or more.

It also requires UEFI firmware with Secure Boot, Trusted Platform Module (version 2.0), DirectX 12 support, and a high-definition monitor, with a resolution of 720 pixels, that exceeds a diagonal size of 9 inches.

The new minimum requirements of Windows 11 will prevent all computers from updating to this version, but so that users can know in advance, the company urges to use the free application he ‘PC Health Check’, to check compatibility.

The company has reported that next week it will release the first ‘Build’ Windows 11 in its Windows Insider program. The free consumer update will begin rolling out later this year for supported Windows 10 PCs, and will also be available on new devices.
