All you need to do is download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant, run it and follow the steps (which mainly involves waiting for it to download and install Windows 11). It’s the route I went with on my desktop since my hardware was compatible, but I didn’t have the update option in Windows Update. The main caveat is, of course, that you may encounter more bugs and issues if Microsoft hasn’t deemed your PC ready. The first, and the one I’d recommend for most people, is the ‘Installation Assistant.’ It’s just a bit of software the effectively lets users bypass the Windows Upgrade wait and install Windows 11 right away. Microsoft’s ‘ Download Windows 11‘ website offers several options for getting the update.
The Fast Wayįor those with less patience and, ideally, the technical know-how to troubleshoot any issues that pop up, there is a faster way to upgrade to Windows 11. Again, you should use the compatibility check tool mentioned up top to verify that your PC is good to go before starting this process.
However, when it does show up, it should mean Microsoft is confident your PC is ready for Windows 11.Īnother reason why the Windows 11 upgrade banner won’t show up is your PC’s hardware isn’t compatible. The company is taking its time with the rollout and it may take a few days, weeks or even months for the upgrade banner to appear in Windows Update. If you don’t see the update banner, it’s likely because Microsoft hasn’t started rolling out the update to your device yet.
If you’re lucky, you’ll see a big blue block that says something like “Upgrade to Windows 11 is ready.” From there, just click the ‘Download and install’ button to start the process. To access it, press the ‘Windows’ and ‘I’ keys, or tap the Windows key and search ‘Settings.’ Then, click ‘Update & Security.’ The safest, easiest way to install Windows 11 on your Windows 10 PC is through your computer’s built-in ‘Windows Update’ tool.
