Windows 11, released in October 2021, is the latest major release of Microsoft’s Windows NT OS. This operating system launched with tons of amazing features and improvements over its predecessor. Microsoft released the Windows 11 operating system with strict hardware requirements. These requirements restricted many Windows users from upgrading to the latest operating system.
