Windows 11 is an upcoming major version of Microsoft Windows that has been announced on 24 June 2021 and that succeeds the Windows 10 series. Its initial Cobalt-based release is expected to be generally available in October 2021 as a free upgrade over Windows Update.

It includes a refreshed user interface based on the Sun Valley effort, as well as other minor improvements over the Windows 10 May 2021 Update. The new version drops support for 32-bit (x86) and ARM32 systems, leaving only the AMD64 (x64) and ARM64 target platforms, although 32-bit user applications are still supported via WoW64.
