Make sure you have:

• An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
• Sufficient data storage available on the computer, USB or external drive you are downloading the .iso file to.
• A blank USB drive with at least 8 GB to create a bootable USB. We recommend using a blank USB, because any content on it will be deleted during installation.

Ensure the PC you want to install Windows 11:

• Has a 64-bit Arm-based processor: This Arm64 ISO image is for devices with Arm-based processors. To see if your PC has one, go to Settings > System > About , or search “System Information” in Windows and look under “System Type.” 
• Meets system requirements:
  Not all devices running Windows 10 are eligible to receive a Windows 11 upgrade. See the Note below for details.
  • WARNING: Installing Windows 11 media on a PC that does not meet the Windows 11 minimum system requirements is not recommended and may result in compatibility issues. If you proceed with installing Windows 11 on a PC that does not meet the requirements, that PC will no longer be supported and won't be entitled to receive updates. Damages to the PC due to lack of compatibility aren't covered under the manufacturer warranty.

Once the download completes you can use the Verify your download option to ensure the integrity of the file.

Note: See the Windows 11 device specifications for upgrade requirements and supported features. Certain features require additional hardware. We also recommend that you visit the website of your PC manufacturer for information about updated drivers and hardware compatibility.

Installation instructions (ISO):

1. If you want to install Windows 11 directly from the ISO file without using a USB flash drive, you can do so by mounting the ISO file. This will perform an upgrade of your current operating system to Windows 11.
2. To mount the ISO file:
   • Go to the location where you downloaded the ISO file. Then, right-click the ISO file and select   Properties .
   • On the "General" tab, click "Change…" where it says, “Opens with:" and select Windows Explorer for the program you would like to use to open ISO files and select  Apply .
   • Right-click the ISO file and select  Mount .
   • This will create a “virtual” bootable disc. Double-click on it to view the files within. Double-click  setup.exe  to start Windows 11 setup.
