Still, that does not mean you can download Windows 11 from Windows Update right now. Microsoft takes a slow approach and does not rush the new system to all users right away. That means it might take a couple of months before Windows 11 hits your system (assuming it meets minimum hardware requirements).

The new Microsoft Store on Windows 11 is out of Preview
