Windows 11 is officially supposed to be available for download on Oct 5, but it seems like the new operating system is available earlier than expected.

The download page for Windows 11 is live now, which means you can download the operating system, either using a local installation superstar surgery by creating install media, like an .iso charge surgery by using a thumb drive. This means you commode likely bypass the high standards of the operating system and install IT straightaway and won't have to wait for Windows Update to hollo at you.

If you don't require to down that process, you can check if IT's available for you through Windows Update, but at that place's a pretty good find it won't embody at first, as Microsoft tends to release new operational systems in waves. We make love our Microcomputer doesn't have it in Windows Update hitherto, but we're totally downloading information technology aright now anyways.

Analysis: should you download Windows 11 early?

Windows 11 is a free upgrade for anyone that's using Windows 10, which means there's no barrier to entry for the refreshing operating system beyond Microsoft's own system requirements – and even those look to be more guidelines than rules.

But with the operating system releasing officially tomorrow, this is well-nig equally Old adopter as you can get, and you have to expect yourself whether it's really worth upgrading this early. While in our brief time with it, information technology's been relatively silken, it's still the early days of an alone new operating organisation and there are some bugs that could pop up.

Our advice would be to keep off IT happening your main machine until the operating organisation has had leastwise a couple of updates, just to see if anything goes catastrophically wrong with Microsoft's in style OS.

If you are lucky enough to have ternary computers that are eligible for the new operating system, absolutely go for the upgrade, just do IT on a machine that won't inconvenience you too terribly if something breaks.
