Testers downloading the Windows 11 version preview channel can test this version of the software on their primary devices as long as they have supported drivers installed.

2. Go to Windows Update and check for updates.

4. If you click "stay on Windows 10 for now", you will get Windows 10 version 21H2 (October 2021 update).

If your hardware is supported, you will be able to get the Windows 11 update as a normal Windows update. It is likely to be around 3GB in size. With Windows 11, you'll be able to see a new Start menu, a new notification centre, a new Microsoft Store, and more.
