Upgrade to Windows 11: frequently asked questions

Post by admin »

Upgrading is different from updating because it will upgrade the computer from the previous version of Windows (such as Windows 10) to Windows 11. This FAQ is designed to solve problems related to upgrading to Windows 11.

Compared with Windows 10, what are the advantages of Windows 11?

Windows 11 provides new productivity features and functions designed to meet the challenges of a mixed world. It has a brand new look that can help reduce your stress and do more work. Please go to Windows.com/Windows-11 to learn more about the new features.

Can I upgrade for free?
Upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is free. However, due to the size of the downloaded file, ISP fees may be charged for downloads via a paid connection.
Note: To upgrade to Windows 11, the device must meet the minimum system requirements of Windows 11. Some Windows 10 features are not applicable in Windows 11. The system requirements for experiencing certain Windows 11 features and applications will exceed the minimum system requirements for Windows 11.

When can my Windows 10 computer be upgraded to Windows 11?
The Windows 11 upgrade promotion plan is still being finalized. It is planned to start at the end of 2021 and continue until 2022. The specific launch time varies by device.

Thanks for posting this. I got my GK3 because the CPU supported Win11, but Secure Boot is currently unavailable on it, so I hope that feature comes in a BIOS update.

Hey @admin, do we have any updates on when the GK3 will support Secure Boot, so it can be upgraded to Windows 11? Was there a BIOS release to add this?

Hello Mr Dragonpoo. Regarding the BIOS upgrade of GK3, we currently support the BIOS upgrade of V25, V26, and V26C. Please enter the BIOS interface to check the BIOS version of the machine.💖

Hi, thank you very much for the detailed BIOS version information. The V26 version of GK3 can flash the Secure Boot BIOS. You can download it from here: .
PS: This BIOS is only for V26 motherboards. Refreshing this BIOS on other motherboards will cause the machine to become bricked. If you need to upgrade the BIOS, please continue to leave a message under this thread or privately message me.

I have the relevant GK3 and have been given this copy of the bios update for Windows 11 by the manufacturer. I tried this one too but I cannot get either to flash the bios. I have a small usb formatted to FAT32 and have put the relevent files on the root. I have tried more than one USB all to no avail. I might be doing something wrong but I think i have followed the instructions that come with the zip file. Perhaps someone out there might be able to help. I was dissapointed that a recently bought pc was not windows 11 out of the box.

Hi Admin,

I believe mine is the v25. My system shows a Core Version of 5.13, Compliancy of UEFI 2.7; PI 1.6, and Project Version of GK1V25 0.01 x64.

I hope this can also get a BIOS update for Secure Boot. I purchased it in June 2021, after Microsoft announced its system requirements for Windows 11.

Hello, I'm sorry for not being satisfied at one time, because the machines that have been stored in Amazon's warehouse cannot be upgraded to Win11 immediately, so after you receive it, you need to manually upgrade it yourself. We have directly upgraded to Win11 system for subsequent out-of-stock products.
Regarding your question, please provide me your motherboard version like dragonpoo, I will check whether your motherboard model supports upgrade.

Hello dragonpoo,
This is the upgrade file you need:

The upgrade method is already in the compressed package, just unzip it like other compressed packages. Hope this helps you.
This upgrade file is only suitable for BIOS whose BIOS version is V25.
