The upgrade will then roll out over time to in-market devices based on intelligence models that consider hardware eligibility, reliability metrics, age of device and other factors that impact the upgrade experience. We expect all eligible devices to be offered the free upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022.

Finally, the effort put by Microsoft into Windows 11 is amazing. However, there can be bugs in the latest version release. So, it is advisable to upgrade the windows in the mid of 2022, and I think the OS will be more stable by that point in time.
