Intel announced when Windows 11 is released in a driver release log. The Microsoft release date itself has not been specified yet, but the Intel paper indicates that the new operating system will be introduced in October of this year.

The rumor regarding Windows 11's release date has been running at full speed for quite a long time now, and numerous sources have already been cited by us on the same day due to Intel's whitepaper. It doesn't mean that in October most folks are able to move to version 11.

A quick side-note here. The new OS is rolling out in phases and most people will not be able to update until 2022. At the end of the year, those who won't wait can force to upgrade it manually.
