These are all the PCs that can be upgraded to Windows 11

Windows 11 is almost here, and with it comes a lot of uncertainty. Microsoft says Windows 11 will be compatible with most laptops you can buy today, and that’s probably true. After all, just about every PC you can buy today meets the minimum requirements to run Windows 11. Still, you may want to know if the laptop you already have can run the new OS. Or maybe you’re thinking of buying one and you want to know if you’ll be able to upgrade it when Windows 11 releases. We’ve rounded up all the PCs we could find that will be upgradeable to Windows 11, and you can see them below.

Since Windows 11 has only recently been announced, most companies haven’t yet shared the full list of PCs that can be upgraded to Windows 11. However, some have, and we can also find many others by searching through the laptops you can buy right now. But there are hundreds or thousands of different PC configurations out there, and many compatible models are not available to buy anymore. We’re listing everything we could find, but there could be more compatible models. Microsoft doesn’t currently offer a way to check compatibility for specific hardware, either.
