Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi everybody,

 

I have a HP ProBook 445 G7 and want to upgrade to windows 11.

My questions:

 

1) In the update section of my windows 10 I see that my PC meets all requirements for an win 11 upgrade.

I have searched for updates.

Why can't I find a windows 11 upgrade in the update section of my windows 10 at this moment?

 

2) What is the best and safest way to upgrade to windows 11?

I only search in the update section of my win 10 for a win 11 upgrade because I want to be really sure that win 11 is ready for my laptop. But I can also imagine to upgrade with another method, for example with the media creation tool.

 

Thanks a lot for answers

Hi:

 

There is no telling when Microsoft will push the W11 update to your PC.

 

It could be tomorrow, it could be months from now.

 

If you want to force the update today, you can click on the Windows 11 Installation assistant button (first option) at the link below to begin the upgrade process to W11.

 

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

 

HP has released W11 drivers for your notebook, so it should be able to handle the upgrade.

 

I note that it is either a 440 G7 or a 445 G7, as there is no such model as a 447 G7.
