It’s a landmark day for Windows 11 as Microsoft says the operating system is ready for wide deployment. This can be a confusing term given that the OS has been rolled out to millions of devices for months. This basically means that Microsoft is no longer scaling the version and all users can now access Windows 11.
Since the platform launched last November, Microsoft has been arranging the rollout of Windows 11. Basically, some users get the Windows 10 upgrade before others. With its move to wide deployment, the platform is now available through Windows Update for anyone who wants it.
Of course, compatibility requirements are still in place. So if your PC was not compatible with Windows 11 before, it still won’t be.

Also, in a large-scale deployment, upgrading to Windows 11 is still optional. So if you want to stay on Windows 10, you can. This is a different deployment strategy than the Windows 10 upgrade in 2015. At that time, Microsoft forced compatible devices to upgrade from Windows 8.
To advance
Of course, the company was running as fast as it could after the failure of Windows 8. Microsoft has no such issues with Windows 10, while the old platform will continue to be supported until in 2025.
It should be noted that you may still find that you cannot update even if your device is compatible. If this happens, it means there is a known issue with Windows 11 on your PC model and Microsoft is waiting for the upgrade (an upgrade block) until there is a fix.
