Note: Before you install Windows 10, check to make sure your PC meets the system requirements for Windows 10. If you are installing Windows 10 on a PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista, or if you need to create installation media to install Windows 10 on a different PC, see Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) to install Windows 10 on a different PC section below. You need to reinstall Windows 10 on a PC you’ve already successfully activated Windows 10.

You have a license to install Windows 10 and are upgrading this PC from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.If you have a Windows 10 PC that’s eligible for the upgrade, Windows Update will let you know when it’s available. We expect all eligible devices to be offered the free upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022. Until they made the announcement, it was expected that some of the changes in Windows 11, were going to be Windows 10 21H2. Windows 11 essentially is a retail and branded Windows 10 feature update. The simplest way to install Windows 11, purchase Windows 10, and install Windows 11 with the key. Windows 11 OEM devices should are already being released (i.e Microsoft Surface 8) are slowly being released into the marketplace.

Microsoft plans on delivering Windows 11 to eligible Windows 10 devices slowly through at least June 2022.

I suspect the retail launch of Windows 11 will happen sometime in 2022. Then use this to clean install on a computer and enter the key that came with the purchased copy. As in go to a computer store, or online and buy a legal genuine physical copy of Windows 11 as DVD installation media or USB drive, with a key.
