Windows 11 available for free download: Check if your PC is compatible for the upgrade
Microsoft has begun rolling out Windows 11 worldwide for all users. The company had recently introduced a tool called PC Health Check, with the help of which users can find out whether the new Windows will work on their PC or laptop. The company hopes that the new update will be made available on all devices by 2022. Microsoft has provided some tremendous features in the upcoming Windows, which will double the user experience.
