Microsoft has announced the official release date for Windows 11 on its blog: It will be distributed from October 5, 2021. However, the integration of Amazon's Android apps is still missing. This feature is supposed to be delivered later.

At the beginning, Windows 11 will only be available for new computers or for devices that meet the rather hard system requirements. Older hardware will follow bit by bit later.
