As you can see in the above screenshot, Windows 11 leaked build includes the required configuration files that will allow users of Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 to install the update directly using official tools. Of course, plans are always subject to change and the final release of the next-gen Windows may or may not include a free upgrade path for Windows 7 users. For those who don’t have a genuine license, they can go to a store (physical or Windows Store), purchase a copy of Windows and install it on their PCs. It’s likely that Microsoft will continue the strategy of delivering Windows as a service, which means frequent updates will be released for free if you upgrade to Windows 11. Users can download updates through Microsoft’s servers, Windows Update, WSUS, Media Creation Tool, Update Assistant and from other connected PCs in the organization that have already obtained the updates. A new approach with Windows 11 Unlike Windows 8, Windows 11 is optimized for multiple form-factors, which includes tablets and desktops. It is not a mobile-first operating system, but Microsoft will employ a strategy similar to mobile operating systems and enable a modular infrastructure to deliver faster updates using Windows Store. For example, Windows 11 uses experience packs, which can be updated directly from the Store. These experience packs can be used to improve native Windows features, such as windowing, snipping, Start menu, Windows Shell, and as well as the new Windows Widgets (News and Interests). 
Microsoft is will also deliver standalone updates for apps like Notepad and Paint, a feature that was previously tested in the preview builds. While the build has been leaked online, it’s isn’t the finished product and it’s missing necessary experience packs and files required to enable new features, such as improved gestures on the touchpad. After the build leaked online, the company has been dropping hints that there’s more to show. It’s likely we’ll learn more about the future of Windows on June 24 at 11 AM ET.
