Before downloading, users will be asked to select the product language which should be the same language when installing Windows. If you’ll need to download installation with different languages, multiple ISO downloads will be required.
Finally, select the 64-bit Download version to start the download.
Please have in mind that according to Microsoft this option is for users that want to create a bootable installation media such as a USB or DVD drive. As this download is Windows 11 multi-edition ISO image it will require the product key to unlock the correct edition.
You can check whether your hardware is eligible for the upgrade to Windows 11 by using Windows 10 PC health check application from HERE.
If you would rather wait for the update to become available through Windows Update, please note that Microsoft will use a measured and phased process in offering Windows 11 as it was previously done with Windows 10 feature updates. With this said it might take time until Windows 11 appears in your Windows Update.
