Windows 11 as a Windows 10 Upgrade to become available later in 2022

Microsoft never ceases to baffle me. Last week they announced they would be relating Windows 11 as an upgrade to Windows 10. However, they decided that in the first half-year of the release, that actual upgrade will not be made available to windows 10 users.

Yeah, it's one of these annoying 'sighs' moments when you think about Microsoft. Microsoft officially unveiled Windows 11 on Thursday, they however never mentions the actual availability as opposed to a timeframe of the release roughly. On Twitter, the company has now stated that the operating system will be available later this year but ... the rollout to existing Windows 10 devices will take longer, this will only start in 2022 and should be completed in the first half of that year. Also keep in mind that system requirements are higher than for Windows 10, so the update will not be rolled out for every Windows 10 device.
