Background knowledge

October 5, 2021 is another important milestone for the Windows operating system, because Microsoft officially released the latest generation of Windows operating system Windows 11 on this day. Microsoft states that Windows 10 users can upgrade to Windows 11 for free, but the computer to be upgraded needs to meet the Windows 11 system requirements. Microsoft has not yet pushed Windows 11 upgrades to Windows 10 users, but Microsoft officially provides three methods to upgrade to Windows 11 for free, so users need to upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 by themselves. The three upgrade methods are Windows 11 Installation assistant, Microsoft Media Creation Tool (MediaCreationToolW11.exe) and Windows 11 installation ISO file. Among them, the Windows 11 installation assistant can only be used to upgrade the current operating system, and cannot download the Windows 11 installation ISO file. The channel for directly downloading the Windows 11 installation ISO file may be closed in the future, just like Windows 10. Therefore, if the channel for downloading the Windows 11 installation ISO file is closed in the future please use Microsoft Media Creation Tool (MediaCreationToolW11.exe) to download the Windows 11 installation ISO file.

In addition to downloading the Windows 11 installation ISO file through Microsoft's official website and using the Microsoft Media Creation Tool described above, you can also use Hasleo Windows ISO Downloader to download the official Windows 11 installation ISO.
