Microsoft’s Push for Windows 11 Adoption
As December unfolds, Microsoft finds itself navigating a wave of reports regarding its Windows operating system. The transition from Windows 10 to its successor has not been as seamless as anticipated, with a surprising statistic revealing that approximately 500 million users have PCs that qualify for Windows 11 but have yet to make the upgrade. In response, Microsoft is taking proactive measures to encourage these users to embrace the new platform.
According to Neowin, the tech giant has announced that all supported systems can now download and install Windows 11 version 25H2. This update is available for both Windows 11 and Windows 10 users, provided their systems meet the necessary requirements for Windows 11.
However, the rollout is not without its challenges. Reports from Windows Latest indicate that the latest update may encounter installation errors, such as the notorious 0x80070306. Furthermore, users who successfully install the update may experience issues, including disruptions to dark mode in File Explorer and complications with Intel Arc GPU drivers. While these problems predominantly affect enterprise systems, personal computers are not immune.
For those experiencing difficulties, Microsoft has acknowledged the situation and is actively working on a resolution, although a specific timeline for fixes remains unspecified. Enterprise users are advised to consult their IT support teams, while home users will need to wait for the customary patches to be released.
In the meantime, Microsoft encourages users to check for the Windows 11 upgrade by navigating to Settings > Windows Update and selecting “Check for updates.” If a device is eligible, users will see the option to download and install Windows 11, version 25H2. It’s important to note that this feature is exclusive to qualifying PCs.
