Microsoft released it's first retail (stable) version of Windows 11. Here's what to know.

 Nice. Earlier than anyone expected, Windows 11s first retail version is released 5th October. Now you have to know about it.


The first retail version of Windows 11 has been released by Microsoft. There are a lot of new features and many more than the beta stages.

What's new?:

 There is a new media player from the new windows 11. There is a beautiful dark theme. Stunning UI. Also you know about the new windows explorer and much more in the 24th June Microsoft event. Here is a whole post about this (What's new on windows 11). I also experienced the the brand new accessibility features and navigated from one place to another easily. Even easier than Windows 10.

What's fixed and dev history:

When the first leaked iso was released on the internet, there was a lot of new features. But also a lot of graphical glitches and performance issues. But after devoloping and releasing a few beta editions, they realized that this super high system requirements is not acceptable for the windows users. (Oh, don't know Microsoft set a super high system requirements for Windows 11? Click here for more info about it). So Microsoft won't stop the older PC users to install windows 11 anymore. Great! But not. The TPM 2.0 requirement is still there. So if you don't have a TPM 2.0 motherboard. You should stay on windows 10. Or check some new motherboards. After that there's a good reason to upgrade to windows 11. What else android apps support. Then there are also HDR and DirectStorage for more effective gaming experience. So finally here are the first retail version requirements. 

Official system requirements:

Ram: 4 GB

Storage: 64 GB

CPU: any 2 core 1 GHz processor. Intel 8th gen or AMD Zen 2 CPU recommend as Microsoft.

BIOS: UEFI with TPM 2.0 support.

Display: 1280x720 8 bit display or higher.

GPU: Any DirectX 12 GPU supported.

Free upgradable?

The biggest conclusion. Can you free upgrade? Yes or no.  If you have windows 10, you can easily (if you have enough system power to handle). But users running windows 7, 8 and 8.1 or lower can't upgrade to windows 11 for free. But you can. But the problem is that many of the old OS usere don't usually meet the minimum system requirements. Even you got, you may have to get a clean install of Windows 11. So you should consider about it. But using the paid upgrade may save your useful data. But it's cheap, not to much to buy.

Purchase and detailed features:

So that's all for now. Wait till Windows 12 😂.
