(OEM)预装Windows 11的(Windows 11)OEM PC将在年底前上市，可能在假期(Holiday)期间。预装了Windows 11的(Windows 11)Windows 11设备将在这个假日(Holiday)季节上市。
微软在推特上写道：
Windows 11 is due out later in 2021 and will be delivered over several months. The rollout of the upgrade to Windows 10 devices already in use today will begin in 2022 through the first half of that year.
微软(Microsoft)表示，他们将在今年秋天与Windows 11版本一起发布Windows 10 21H2。(Windows 10)虽然不是官方的，但Windows 10 21H2 可能是 Windows 10 的最后一个主要版本(Windows 10)。

Windows 11 硬件要求
在您赶上潮流之前，确保您的PC 与 Windows 11 操作系统兼容(PC is compatible with Windows 11 OS)非常重要。您可以确保您的计算机拥有使用PC 健康检查工具运行(PC Health Check)Windows 11的最低要求，但它只会针对最基本的要求运行扫描。Windows 11 本身包含一些对硬件要求很高的功能，因此最好检查您的 PC 是否能够提供这些功能。
以下(Below)是一些硬件要求：
- 在兼容的 64 位处理器或片(Chip)上系统( SoC )上具有 2 个或更多内核的1 GHz或更快。(GHz)那些运行 32 位系统的人必须坚持使用Windows 10。
- 64 GB 或更大的存储设备
- 大于 9 英寸的高清 (720p) 显示器。
- 一个 2-GHz 核心CPU和 1-GHz 速度CPU。
- 系统的显卡(Graphics Card)需要兼容DirectX 12或更高版本的WDDM 2.0驱动程序。
这篇文章详细讨论了所有Windows 11 系统要求(Windows 11 System Requirements)以及功能方面的最低(Minimum)和推荐(Recommended)硬件要求。这肯定会让您对Windows 11的先决条件有任何疑问。
我个人最兴奋的是用户将能够在Windows 11上使用(Windows 11)Android 应用程序(Android apps)，而这将通过亚马逊的 App Store(Amazon’s App Store)实现。在他们的特别活动中，他们公布了Android应用程序现在可以通过Windows 11附带的Microsoft Store下载的惊喜。
发生的另一件有趣的事情是微软宣布每年(one Feature Update per year)只为Windows 11注册一个功能更新。早在 2015 年推出Windows 10时，(Windows 10)微软(Microsoft)就宣布他们将每年推出 2 次与操作系统一起更新的功能。微软(Microsoft)表示，他们不会修补我们经常使用各种Windows 实用程序(utilities)报告的补丁和修复程序的定期累积更新。这些累积更新将全年运行，功能更新也将以过去的方式交付。只是这次我们将看到更小(smaller size)的更新。
你应该知道Windows 11 已经放弃了对 32 位 x86 的支持(Windows 11 has dropped 32-bit x86 support)。这标志着用于在 32 位Windows (NT)中本地运行MS-DOS和 16 位Windows应用程序的(Windows)NTVDM和WoW技术的终结。
供您参考，Windows 11将收到累积的每月安全更新，其大小最多比 Windows 10 累积更新小 40%。
Windows 11 会比 Windows 10 在我的电脑上占用更多空间吗？
不可以。Windows 10 和Windows 11需要的磁盘空间量大致相同。但是，在升级过程中，需要额外的空间。Windows 将在升级完成大约十天后清理这些额外的磁盘空间。
微软(Microsoft)将在假期期间（即年底）推出Windows 11 。这看起来是一个非常令人兴奋的前景，我们将随时向您发布有关Microsoft重大赛季发布的所有信息。

Windows 11 Release Date and Availability
A preview build of Windows 11 to be released to Insiders
The new Operating System from Microsoft was unveiled yesterday, on the 24th of June, and offers several new features. Much like any new Windows OS version, Windows Insiders will get a pre-emptive taste of Windows 11 too.
The official Twitter account of Windows Insider confirmed that the first Windows 11 Insider Preview Build will ship next week. Although no date has yet been specified, the test build is rumored to roll out on the 28th of this month. Microsoft has detailed the steps people need to take to make their PCs ready for the Insider preview.
Microsoft will be shipping Windows 11 and Windows 10 21H2 this fall
OEM PCs with Windows 11 pre-installed will be available before the year-end probably during the Holiday season. Windows 11 devices with Windows 11 pre-installed will be available this Holiday season.
Microsoft tweeted:
Windows 11 is due out later in 2021 and will be delivered over several months. The rollout of the upgrade to Windows 10 devices already in use today will begin in 2022 through the first half of that year.
Microsoft stated that they will be shipping Windows 10 21H2 this fall along with the Windows 11 version. Though not official, Windows 10 21H2 is probably going to be the last major build of Windows 10.
UPDATE: Windows 11 will be released on October 5, 2021.
Windows 11 Price
This is something I know a lot of you had been waiting to read about, and it’s been worth your wait. Microsoft is going to be rolling out Windows 11 for free! For all existing Windows 10 users, Windows 11 is going to show up as a free upgrade once officially moved to a global release. The installation process for the same is not going to be any different. Once it has been released around the time of the holidays, simply visit the Update and Security section in your Windows Settings and install the newest update on your PC.
Microsoft has also ensured that there won’t be any licensing fuss that is usually followed by a new Windows OS. Licensed Windows 10 users would not have to comply with any further licensing requirements.

Windows 11 Hardware Requirements
Before you jump on the bandwagon, it is important to ensure that your PC is compatible with Windows 11 OS. You can make sure that your computer boasts the minimum requirements to run Windows 11 using the PC Health Check tool, but it is only going to run a scan for the most basic requirements. Windows 11 packs in itself some pretty hardware-demanding features, so it’s best to check if your PC will be able to offer them or not.
Below are some of the hardware requirements:
- 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC). Those running 32-bit systems would have to stick with Windows 10.
- 64 GB or larger storage device
- High definition (720p) display that is greater than 9 inches.
- A 2-GHz core CPU and 1-GHz speed CPU.
- The Graphics Card of the system needs to be compatible with DirectX 12 or later with a WDDM 2.0 driver.
This post talks in detail about all the Windows 11 System Requirements along with the feature-wise Minimum and Recommended hardware requirements. This is sure to fill you up on any queries you may have about Windows 11’s pre-requisites.
I am personally the most excited about is that users will be able to use Android apps on Windows 11, and this is going to be made possible by Amazon’s App Store. During their special event, they unveiled the surprise that Android apps will now be downloadable via the Microsoft Store that will come with Windows 11.
Another interesting thing that happened was Microsoft’s announcement to enroll only one Feature Update per year with Windows 11. Back when Windows 10 was unveiled in 2015, Microsoft announced that they will be rolling out 2 feature updates every year with the OS. Microsoft said that they won’t tinker with the regular cumulative updates for patches and fixes that we often report with various Windows utilities. These cumulative updates will run throughout the year and feature updates will, too, be delivered the way there were used to. It is just that we will see updates of a much smaller size this time around.
You should know that Windows 11 has dropped 32-bit x86 support. That marks the end of NTVDM and WoW technologies that are used to natively run MS-DOS and 16-bit Windows apps in 32-bit Windows (NT).
For your information, Windows 11 will receive cumulative monthly security updates that are up to 40% smaller in size than Windows 10 cumulative updates.
Will Windows 11 take up more space on my PC than Windows 10?
No. Windows 10 and Windows 11 require approximately the same amount of disk space. During the upgrade process, however, extra space is required. Windows will clean up this extra disk space about ten days after the upgrade is complete.
Microsoft will be rolling out Windows 11 in the holiday season i.e., by the end of the year. It looks like a very exciting prospect and we will keep you posted on all that goes on and around Microsoft’s big season release.
