How to get windows 11 update

В этой статье описаны способы установки Windows 11.

Примечание: Для перехода на Windows 11 устройства должны соответствовать минимальным требованиям к системе в Windows 11. Часть функций Windows 10 недоступна в Windows 11. Требования к системе для некоторых функций и приложений Windows 11 будут превышать минимальные требования для Windows 11. Технические характеристики Windows 11, описание компонентов и требований к компьютеру

Перед началом работы

Убедитесь, что устройство, на которое вы хотите установить Windows 11, соответствует минимальным требованиям к системе. Если ваше устройство в настоящее время работает под управлением Windows 10, рекомендуем проверить минимальные требования к системе с помощью приложения «Проверка работоспособности ПК Windows». Не рекомендуется устанавливать Windows 11 на устройстве, которое не соответствует требованиям. Дополнительные сведения см. в статье Установка Windows 11 на устройства, не соответствующим минимальным требованиям к системе.

Центр обновления Windows в параметрах (рекомендуется)

Если вы выполняете обновление с Windows 10, рекомендуется дождаться уведомления через Центр обновления Windows о том, что обновление готово для вашего устройства. Чтобы проверить, готова ли Windows 11 для вашего устройства, выберите Пуск Параметры Обновление и безопасность  > Центр обновления Windows  > Проверить наличие обновлений.

Чтобы узнать об известных проблемах, которые могут повлиять на ваше устройство, вы также можете проверить Центр работоспособности выпусков Windows.

Другие способы установки Windows 11 (не рекомендуется) 

Обновление с помощью Помощника по установке

Рекомендуется подождать, пока вашему устройству будет предложено обновление до Windows 11, прежде чем использовать Помощник по установке. Когда все будет готово, его можно найти на странице загрузки программного обеспечения Windows 11.

Предупреждение: 

  • Корпорация Майкрософт рекомендует не устанавливать Windows 11 на устройстве, которое не соответствует минимальным требованиям к системе Windows 11. Если вы устанавливаете Windows 11 на устройстве, которое не соответствует этим требованиям, и вы признаете и понимаете риски, вы можете создать следующие значения раздела реестра и обойти проверку TPM 2.0 (требуется как минимум TPM 1.2) и семейства ЦП и модели.

  • Раздел реестра: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup

  • Имя: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU

  • Тип: REG_DWORD

  • Значение: 1

  • Примечание. Неправильное изменение параметров системного реестра с помощью редактора реестра или любым иным путем может привести к возникновению серьезных неполадок. Для этих проблем может потребоваться переустановка операционной системы. Корпорация Майкрософт не гарантирует, что такие неполадки могут быть устранены. Внося изменения в реестр, вы действуете на свой страх и риск.

Существует два пути установки:

  1. Выполните обновление, запустив программу установки на носителе под управлением Windows 10. Вы можете:

    a. Выполните полное обновление, при котором сохраняются личные файлы (включая драйверы), приложения и параметры Windows. Это функция по умолчанию, которую использует Помощника по установке.

    б. Сохранять только данные. При этом будут сохранены только личные файлы (включая драйверы), но не приложения и параметры Windows.

     
    c. Чистая установка установит Windows 11 и ничего не сохранит при установке Windows 10. Дополнительные сведения см. в статье Новый запуск компьютера.

  2. Загрузка из мультимедиа для запуска программы установки. Этот путь является чистой установкой и не сохраняет предыдущие файлы или параметры. Дополнительные сведения см. в статье Новый запуск компьютера.

    Важно: Убедитесь, что ваше устройство соответствует минимальным требованиям к системе, прежде чем выбрать загрузку с носителя, потому что это позволит вам установить Windows 11, если у вас есть как минимум TPM 1.2 (вместо минимальных требований к системе TPM 2.0), и он не будет убедитесь, что ваш процессор находится в утвержденном списке ЦП в зависимости от семейства и модели процессора.

Создание установки изображения

Используйте DISM или сторонние инструменты, чтобы напрямую применить существующий образ Windows 11 к диску.
 

Важно: При установке изображении Windows 11 не проверяются следующие требования: TPM 2.0 (требуется как минимум TPM 1.2), а также семейство и модель ЦП.

Today, Panos Panay announced the release and availability of the Windows 11 2022 Update, the latest version of Windows 11. Windows is a key component of how more than a billion people connect, learn, play and work. In this blog I’ll share how to get the 2022 Update (also known as Windows 11, version 22H21), details on our approach to delivering continuous innovation including improvements to the update experience, and information for commercial and education customers.

How to get the update

Starting today, the first major update to Windows 11 is now available for users who want to update. Our launch approach to Windows 11 leverages our well-established update systems and processes. The measured and phased rollout will offer the update via Windows Update when data shows that your device is ready, as our objective is to provide a quality update experience. We will initially ramp up the offering availability in the first weeks as we monitor quality signals. If we detect that your device may have an issue, such as an application incompatibility, we may put a safeguard hold in place and not offer the update until that issue is resolved. To learn more about the status of the Windows 11 rollout, safeguard holds and which holds may be applied to your device, visit Windows release health. Learn more about the ways to install Windows 11.

Windows 11 devices

Users with eligible devices running Windows 11, version 21H2 who are interested in experiencing the latest feature update and are ready to install this release on their device can choose to do so by opening Windows Update settings (Settings > Windows Update) and selecting Check for updates2.  For more information on the 2022 Update experience for Windows 11 devices, watch this video.

Windows 10 devices

If you are running Windows 10 today, you can check to see if your device is eligible (i.e., meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11) to upgrade using the PC Health Check app. You can then check to see if Windows 11, version 22H2 is ready for your specific device by opening Windows Update settings (Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update) and selecting Check for updates3,4. If your device is eligible and the upgrade is ready, the option to download and install will appear: If you are ready to install Windows 11, simply select Download and install5,6.  For more information on the Windows 11 upgrade experience for Window 10 devices, watch this video.

Delivering continuous innovation and value

Our delivery approach leverages the well-established feature and monthly security update systems and processes used for the +1.4 billion Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices we have shipped and serviced over the past six years. Windows 11 will continue to have an annual feature update cadence, released in the second half of the calendar year that marks the start of the support lifecycle, with 24 months of support for Home and Pro editions and 36 months of support for Enterprise and Education editions.

We are committed to delivering continuous innovation by releasing new features into Windows 11 with increased frequency via our servicing technology (like a monthly update) and Microsoft Store updates, in addition to our annual update process. Our goal is to provide you with the best experiences year-round, when new features are ready based on quality and reliability, via our familiar processes. Today we are also announcing that a new set of experiences including the Tabbed File explorer, considered a component of the 2022 Update for all editions, will be ready this October. We will share more information and documentation when we initially make these features available.  We plan a phased rollout timed with the October optional non-security preview release for these features and then they will be made broadly available in the November 2022 security update release7. Going forward we will continue to announce, document and deliver new features and experiences when they are ready (learn more).

We have listened to feedback on the overall Windows Update experience and are excited to announce two substantial improvements to the update experience for both feature and monthly updates for the Windows 11 2022 Update.

  • Smaller and faster installation of updates: We have significantly reduced the download size of feature updates, by ~450MB for many users. We’ve also reduced download and installation time of the monthly cumulative update, as well as reclaimed hundreds of megabytes of disk footprint to give back to the user. Learn more about these improvements.
  • Windows Update and carbon awareness: Windows will try to schedule update installations at specific times of day when doing so may result in lower carbon emissions. Many electrical grids are powered by multiple sources, including renewables and fossil fuels. When available, Windows 11 will now prioritize installing updates in the background at times when greater amounts of clean energy sources (like wind, solar and hydro) are available (find out more in this article).

Information for commercial and education customers

Windows 11 is built on the consistent, compatible and familiar Windows 10 foundation you know, and it was designed for hybrid workforces. You can plan for, prepare and deploy Windows 11 alongside Windows 10 using the same processes, policies and management applications. For new information about the latest features for commercial organizations in Windows 11, version 22H2, see our latest Commercial blog.

We recommend IT administrators begin targeted deployments now as part of their regular Windows Update motion. For the latest resources and tools, check out our post on Tools to support Windows 11 deployment. In addition, to help make Windows 11 deployment easier, we encourage you to leverage the built in Windows 11 Readiness report in Microsoft Endpoint Manager and/or Endpoint Analytics to help identify eligible devices that meet the Windows 11 minimum system requirements for an upgrade.

Windows 11, version 22H2 is available through familiar channels and processes including Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Windows Update for Business and the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC)for phased deployment using Microsoft Endpoint Manager or other endpoint management solutions. September 20, 2022 marks the start of the 36 months of servicing support lifecycle for Enterprise and Education editions of Windows 11, version 22H2.

Experience the latest innovation in the Windows 11 2022 Update

We all need the latest technology to keep pace with working, learning, connecting and playing, and installing the 2022 Update is the best way you can keep your Windows device protected and productive. This also enables your device to receive the continuous innovation we will deliver over the next year with the 2022 Update.

As I have previously noted, for customers who are using a device that is not eligible for Windows 11, Windows 10 is a great place to be. Windows 10 will be serviced through Oct. 14, 2025 and we have announced that the next feature update to Windows 10, version 22H2, is coming next month, continuing to offer you both support and choice with Windows. As in the past, we will closely monitor the rollout of Windows 11 and continue to share timely information on the status of the rollout and known issues (open and resolved) across all Windows feature and monthly updates via the Windows release health dashboard and @WindowsUpdate. Please continue to tell us about your experience by providing comments or suggestions via Feedback Hub.

The Windows 11 September 2023 Update is now rolling out for compatible devices. This represents the second feature update since the original release that introduces a new scope of design changes, under-the-hood improvements, and a few new features. 

Although this is a new version, Microsoft is rolling it out as a cumulative update that doesn’t require reinstallation on devices already running version 22H2. However, if you upgrade from an older release or Windows 10, the device will undergo the complete upgrade process. 

In addition, it’s worth noting that this new version will roll out slowly in stages, starting with devices known to have good upgrade experience, which means that not every computer will receive the update on day one.

If you have a device with no compatibility issues, the option to update will be available within a few days of the official release date. However, it will take some time until the 2023 Update reaches everyone. If you don’t want to wait, it’s possible to manually trigger the upgrade in at least four ways, including using Windows Update, Installation Assistant, Media Creation Tool, and ISO file.

This how-to guide will walk you through installing the Windows 11 September 2023 update with Copilot on your desktop, laptop, or tablet.

Important: Although this is a non-destructive process, there is always a chance of something going wrong during and after the upgrade. You should consider creating a temporary backup before proceeding. You’ve been warned.

How to install Windows 11 September 2023 update with Copilot from Settings

The Windows 11 2022 Update is the first major feature update that users have received since October last year, and is now free to be installed.

If you’re using Windows 11 on your PC, you should follow the steps below to get the 2022 Update Version 22H2:

  1. Press the ‘Win + I’ key combination to open Windows Settings
  2. From the tabs on the left of the screen, click on Windows Updates
  3. Ordinarily, your PC should check for updates on its own and show an available update by the name of “Windows 11 2022 Update Version 22H2,” but if it doesn’t, you can always click on the “Check for Updates” button
  4. This should, ideally, bring up an option to install the new Windows 11 feature update

Since this is a feature update, it is not an automatic and mandatory download. You will have to click on the download and install option to initiate the process. If you don’t see an option to upgrade to this new version, it may be because Microsoft has held back the update from your PC, possibly because of some conflicting apps, or because your system isn’t compatible with the update altogether.

Can I go back to Windows 10?

If you find your Windows 11 to be sluggish, eating up too much of your PC’s battery, or has just generally messed up your settings, then there is a process in place that allows you to downgrade your system back to Windows 10. The way to do this is very easy if you want to roll back within 10 days of upgrading to Windows 11. In that time bracket, all you have to do is open the Windows Settings > System > Recovery, and then click on the Go Back button, to revert your system to Windows 10.

On the off chance that you haven’t been able to make up your mind within ten days, there’s still a way for you to go back to Windows 10. This would require you to download the Windows ISO file from Microsoft.com and use the Rufus tool. This article discusses the process of reverting to Windows 10 from Windows 11 in detail.
