    If upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 is available for you in your country for your PC, you’ll see a message stating it under the “Windows Update” section. If it’s not there, you may need to wait a bit longer.

One way that Microsoft is ensuring you’re making the most of its products is by supplying you with built-in conferencing apps. Windows 11 will have Microsoft Teams pre-installed, which means you can simply open it up on your desktop and join a meeting.
