Before the official announcement, however, it wasn’t clear what the future of the Windows 0S would be. The general expectation was that the changes to the Windows UI, codenamed Sun Valley, would simply roll at as yet another Windows 10 update.
In many respects, that’s what Windows 11 is, another update to Windows 10, albeit one that Microsoft’s marketing department can get behind.

Windows 11 begins rolling out on Oct. 5, but Microsoft has said it might take until mid-2022 for everyone to get the upgrade. Microsoft says Windows 11 will start rolling out on Oct. 5. Windows 11 will begin its wide release today.
