You can purchase a new PC pre-installed with Windows 11 from today. You can also purchase a Windows 10 PC that’s eligible for the free upgrade and then upgrade your PC to Windows 11.
In order to make the upgrade experience better for new Windows 10 PC users, Microsoft yesterday released a new update that improves the Windows 10, version 2004, 20H2, 21H1, and 21H2 out-of-box experience (OOBE) by providing eligible devices the option to upgrade to Windows 11 as part of the OOBE process.

If the upgrade to Windows 11 is chosen, the upgrade process will begin shortly after OOBE is completed. This update applies only to the Windows 10, version 2004, 20H2, 21H1, and 21H2 OOBE process and will be available only when OOBE updates are installed.
This update applies to the following:
