Asus devices will soon be eligible for a free update to the new Windows 11 operating system once it becomes available, as the company announced its partnership with Microsoft today. Asus has partnered with Microsoft to ensure that new and existing Asus PC users can get a free update to Windows 11 once it is released. According to the announcement, hundreds of other Asus models shipped with Windows 10 will also qualify for the free update. This includes the ProArt Studio book, Zenbook and Vivobook laptops, ROG Strix, ROG Zephyrus, and ROG Flow gaming laptops, as well as TUF Gaming laptops and desktops.
ExpertBook laptops and ExpertCenter desktops, along with many Zen AiO and Vivo AiO models and Asus Mini PCs, will also be eligible for the upgrade after this partnership. Full details of the qualifying models can be found on the Asus Windows 11 microsite.Windows 11. Image: Microsoft blog
The launch is scheduled to begin later in 2021 and continue until 2022. The specific time of the launch will vary by device.
Here’s what Asus PC owners can do to prepare for Windows 11:
– Users can use the PC Health Check application to see if their current PC meets the requirements to run Windows 11.
– If necessary, they can buy a new Windows 10 Asus PC that can be upgraded to Windows 11 for free every time it is released.
– By backing up files from the user’s current PC to OneDrive, it will be easier to transfer them to a new PC.
Microsoft says that the Windows 11 interface has been designed for a better user experience. The “Home” function has been placed in the center and is designed to quickly find what a user may need. Using the power of Microsoft 365 and the cloud, “Home” will display recent files to users regardless of the platform or device they previously viewed them on.
Features like Snap Layouts, Snap Groups, and Desktops are part of Windows 11, which will help optimize screen space and window organization. In the upcoming operating system, separate desktops can also be created for work, school, or games.
