Background knowledge

October 5, 2021 is another important milestone in the Windows operating system with Microsoft officially releasing Windows 11, the latest generation of Windows OS. Microsoft confirms that Windows 10 users can upgrade to Windows 11 for free, provided their computer meet the Windows 11 system requirements. While Microsoft has not yet pushed automatic Windows 11 upgrades to Windows 10 users, it officially provides three free upgrade methods, requiring users to manually initiate the update process. The three upgrade methods are Windows 11 installation assistant, Microsoft Media Creation Tool (MediaCreationTool.exe), and Windows 11 installation ISO file. Among them, the Windows 11 installation assistant is designed only to upgrade the current OS and cannot download the Windows 11 installation ISO files. The channel for directly downloading the Windows 11 installation ISO file may discontinue in the future, just like Windows 10. Therefore, if the channel becomes unavailable in the future, use Microsoft's Media Creation Tool (MediaCreationTool.exe) to download the Windows 11 installation ISO file.
