Microsofts big new Windows 11 update is out now — heres how to get it

▤ Summary

The release is a milestone for Microsoft, the worlds second most valuable public company, which derives 14% of revenue from Windows even as it becomes a leading cloud infrastructure provider. Microsoft has maintained a dominant position in the PC operating systems for decades but hadnt released a new version since 2015 when Windows 10 first launched. Windows 11 might help Microsoft sustain revenue growth from computer makers like Dell, HP and Lenovo that license its software. This is similar to how Microsoft has determined which devices received Windows 10 features updates for the past few years. Youll find its pretty familiar, except the Start button is in the middle of the screen with the rest of your taskbar apps.
