Questions about Windows 11? Start here.Questions about Windows 11? Start here.

Microsoft Windows is the operating system that brings your PC to life, giving you one place to work, play, create, and connect. With Windows 11, built-in security, multitasking tools, and AI-powered features come together in a modern experience designed for how you do your day.

The latest version of Microsoft Windows is Windows 11. It’s the current release, with built-in security, multitasking tools, and AI-powered features designed to help you get more done on your PC.

As the latest Microsoft Windows operating system, Windows 11 is built to help you do more across work, school, entertainment, and everyday life. Windows 11 OS enables easier productivity, built-in security, gaming, accessibility, and AI-powered help for tasks like writing, organizing, editing, and searching.

Whether you’re upgrading an older PC or setting up a new one, Microsoft Windows 11 is designed to help you do more with a PC that feels more intuitive, more secure, and more useful every day.

Copilot is an AI-powered assistant, ready to help you find answers, create content, and get things done.

Microsoft offers a limited free version of Copilot subject to available capacity and limits. When you hit a limit, you can choose to upgrade to a paid option or come back later.

For deeper integration across Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, Copilot is included with eligible Microsoft 365 subscriptions, which provide additional features and expanded AI usage allowances.

Copilot feature availability varies by device, language and region. Usage limits, subscription requirements and other conditions apply. See the FAQ.

Yes. Windows 11 includes AI features that can help with everyday tasks like creating, searching, editing, communicating, and staying organized. Depending on your device and setup, that can include experiences like Copilot, AI-powered tools in apps like Snipping Tool, and smarter help across parts of Windows such as Start. Some features may require certain hardware, updates, or apps, and may vary by market.

On Windows, local AI means AI experiences that can run directly on your device instead of relying only on the cloud. Running more demanding AI workloads locally requires a Windows PC with compatible AI hardware, such as a powerful NPU or GPU. Local AI can help deliver faster responses and keep more processing on your device. Experiences vary depending on the feature and PC you’re using.

Before installing Windows 11, make sure the device where Windows 11 is being installed meets the minimum system requirements. If the device is currently running Windows 10, Microsoft recommends verifying the minimum system requirements using the PC Health Check app. It isn't recommended to install Windows 11 on a device that doesn't meet those requirements.

If your PC is eligible to upgrade to Windows 11, you can install it for free in one of these ways:

  • Upgrade via Windows Update:

    • Settings > Privacy and Security > Windows Update, then select Check for updates and install Windows 11.

  • Use Windows 11 Installation Assistant to upgrade:

    • Windows 11 Installation Assistance app can be used before Windows Update offers the Windows 11 upgrade.

  • Use Windows 11 Installation media:

    • Installation media is normally used to install Windows 11 on a device that doesn't already have Windows installed on it. For details on where to obtain the Windows 11 installation media and how to create it, see “Create installation media for Windows”.

If you’re using an older PC running Windows 10, upgrading to a new device with Windows 11 may offer better performance and a smoother experience. You can explore our PC Buying Guide to find a PC that fits your needs.

A premium PC combines high-end components with quality design for faster, smoother performance than an everyday PC. That can include a fast multicore processor, dedicated graphics, generous memory and storage, and a bright, high-resolution display.

Premium PCs are built for demanding work like gaming, content creation, and local AI. For the most demanding workloads, explore Windows PCs powered by NVIDIA RTX Spark, which bring together creator-class performance, local AI capabilities, and world-class gaming in a single PC. Specifications vary by model, so compare configurations based on how you plan to use your PC.
