Windows 11 has been making waves as the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system. It boasts numerous new features and improvements over its predecessor, Windows 10.

At Evergreen Electronics, we understand the importance of staying up to date with the latest technology to keep your business performing at its best.
Fortunately, updating to Windows 11 is an easy and straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
How to Upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11
Step 1: Check if your PC meets the requirements for Windows 11. These include a compatible processor (gen 8 or higher), at least 4GB of RAM, and at least 64GB of storage.
Windows Start > Settings > System > About
Example of how to determine the gen of your Intel processor: the Intel i7-8700K Processor is 8th gen because the suffix (-8700K) begins with an 8.
