Microsoft Windows is the operating system that brings your PC to life, giving you one place to work, play, create, and connect. With Windows 11, built-in security, multitasking tools, and AI-powered features come together in a modern experience designed for how you do your day.
The latest version of Microsoft Windows is Windows 11. It’s the current release, with built-in security, multitasking tools, and AI-powered features designed to help you get more done on your PC.
As the latest Microsoft Windows operating system, Windows 11 is built to help you do more across work, school, entertainment, and everyday life. Windows 11 OS enables easier productivity, built-in security, gaming, accessibility, and AI-powered help for tasks like writing, organizing, editing, and searching.
Whether you’re upgrading an older PC or setting up a new one, Microsoft Windows 11 is designed to help you do more with a PC that feels more intuitive, more secure, and more useful every day.
Copilot is an AI-powered assistant, ready to help you find answers, create content, and get things done.
Microsoft offers a limited free version of Copilot subject to available capacity and limits. When you hit a limit, you can choose to upgrade to a paid option or come back later.
For deeper integration across Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, Copilot is included with eligible Microsoft 365 subscriptions, which provide additional features and expanded AI usage allowances.
Copilot feature availability varies by device, language and region. Usage limits, subscription requirements and other conditions apply. See the FAQ.
Yes. Windows 11 includes AI features that can help with everyday tasks like creating, searching, editing, communicating, and staying organized. Depending on your device and setup, that can include experiences like Copilot, AI-powered tools in apps like Snipping Tool, and smarter help across parts of Windows such as Start. Some features may require certain hardware, updates, or apps, and may vary by market.
On Windows, local AI means AI experiences that can run directly on your device instead of relying only on the cloud. Running more demanding AI workloads locally requires a Windows PC with compatible AI hardware, such as a powerful NPU or GPU. Local AI can help deliver faster responses and keep more processing on your device. Experiences vary depending on the feature and PC you’re using.
Before installing Windows 11, make sure the device where Windows 11 is being installed meets the minimum system requirements. If the device is currently running Windows 10, Microsoft recommends verifying the minimum system requirements using the PC Health Check app. It isn't recommended to install Windows 11 on a device that doesn't meet those requirements.
If your PC is eligible to upgrade to Windows 11, you can install it for free in one of these ways:
