Based on the clues currently available, Microsoft may officially release Windows 11 on October 20 this year. However, according to the latest news from Zac Bowden of Windows Central, Microsoft is expected to announce the release date in the next one or two weeks.
He said in a tweet: I heard that Microsoft may announce the official release date of Windows 11 in the next one or two weeks. It is estimated that the final version will be signed in mid-September this year. So I bet October 19 Day is the official release date. I think we will see it soon.
Heard MS might announce the GA date for Windows 11 in the next week or two. Sign-off on a “final build” expected in mid-Sept. If I were a betting man, I’d wager October 19 is the GA date… guess we’ll see soon enough.

It is expected that the operating system will first appear in new hardware, and then be launched as an upgrade to an existing Windows 10 PC with suitable hardware at the end of this year or early next year.
