Microsoft has decided that Windows 11 is ready for general use.

Microsoft has decided that Windows 11 is in a decent enough state for everyone to install and use nearly 11 months after its debut. That is, providing your computer matches the system requirements.

The Windows Health Dashboard updated the status of Windows 11 this week to "designated for broad deployment(Opens in a new window)," according to Neowin. It effectively indicates that Microsoft believes the operating system is now stable enough that it should be included on all new PCs, and that anyone who has been putting off upgrading from Windows 10 should do it immediately.

Microsoft's PC Health Check programme can tell you whether or not your PC is capable of running Windows 11. (Opens in a new window). Some Microsoft employees are unable to upgrade to Windows 11, therefore it's important to double-check before proceeding. If you have the option, there are several compelling reasons to upgrade to Microsoft's latest operating system as soon as feasible.

Microsoft is eager to increase the number of people who use Windows 11, especially because it is currently less popular than Windows 7. Certain prerequisites, such as the necessity for TPM 2.0 on your PC, mean that upgrading isn't always possible. That is, however, a fantastic reason to treat yourself to a new desktop PC or laptop.
