You can go to your PC's settings and check the Windows Update section right away.

Windows 11 is now available for download on your PC. Microsoft has released the software upgrade starting October 5 in each time zone that eligible machines have begun to receive in most parts of the world. If you are in India, you can quickly go to the Windows Update settings on your machine to check if Windows 11 is available now. But keep in mind your PC should be compatible. The launch of the Windows 11-powered PCs and laptops is still happening on October 5, which is later today.

“We’re pumped to be launching Windows 11; the entire user experience brings you closer to what you love, empowers you to produce and inspires you to create. Windows 11 provides a sense of calm and openness. It gives you a place that feels like home. It’s secure and everything is designed to be centered around you,” said Panos Panay, chief product officer for Windows and Devices at Microsoft.
