Because Microsoft has implemented a lot of artificial intelligence capabilities, the company suggests that users will soon need to transition to Windows 11 to keep access to all these impressive capabilities.
It’s important to know that before installing the Windows 11 operating system, you should check if your device is able to meet the minimum requirements for it, such as having at least 4GB of RAM, more than 64GB of storage space, and a processor with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor. These are only some of the requirements for Windows 11, but you can check all of them directly on the Microsoft website.
So if you are sure that your device will successfully handle this powerful operating system, you only need to go to the Start Menu and open the Settings option. There, you need to look for Update & Security and Check for updates. You will find there the latest update available that can be installed without authorized assistance.
Well, that’s a little bit concerning because this means that you will not have access to Windows 11. But, if you consider buying a new computer or laptop, Microsoft comes up with the perfect solution, which can analyze your needs and give you some device options. After choosing the options that fit your needs, Microsoft will make some recommendations on what features and specs you should consider for your next computer.
If moving to Windows 11 isn’t possible, you can buy a one-year Extended Security Update (ESU) for Windows 10 for $30. For those looking to save money, Microsoft also offers a free option, in which you’ll receive a year of extended security updates by linking your OneDrive account and turning on cloud backup.
But it should be mentioned that OneDrive only offers a limited cloud storage for free, and will probably start to ask you to upgrade your storage. In OneDrive, an additional 100GB of storage costs $2 per month. Compared with the $30 Extended Security Update (ESU), it is still a great deal.
