These are all the PCs that can be upgraded to Windows 11

Windows 11 is coming later this year, and with it comes a lot of uncertainty. Microsoft says Windows 11 will be compatible with most laptops you can buy today, and that’s probably true. After all, just about every PC you can buy today meets the minimum requirements to run Windows 11. Still, you may want to know if the laptop you already have can run the new OS. Or maybe you’re thinking of buying one and you want to know if you’ll be able to upgrade it when Windows 11 releases. We’ve rounded up all the PCs we could find that will be upgradeable to Windows 11, and you can see them below.

Since Windows 11 has only recently been announced, most companies haven’t yet shared the full list of PCs that can be upgraded to Windows 11. However, some have, and we can also find many others by searching through the laptops you can buy right now. But there are hundreds or thousands of different PC configurations out there, and many compatible models are not available to buy anymore. We’re listing everything we could find, but there could be more compatible models. You can always run the PC Health Check app to see if your PC is supported.

Acer

Acer hasn’t shared an official list of devices that will be upgradeable, so we had to dig through the company’s website to find the ones that meet the minimum requirements. If you’re looking to buy a PC that will support Windows 11, these are all valid options:

As for the full list of supported PCs, we tried to dig up as many as we could from Acer’s website. All of these should be compatible with the Windows 11 upgrade, but there are likely many more, too.

Microsoft Surface

If you’re in the market for a Surface PC, almost anything you can buy today will be compatible with Windows 11. Here are the best options you can get:

Microsoft PCs you can buy for Windows 11

    Surface Book 3
    With a unique detachable design, the Surface Book 3 is a unique blend of power, versatility, and premium design. It can get things done and look good while doing it.
    Surface Laptop 4
    The Surface Laptop 4 has a premium design and top-notch specs that will run Windows 11 like a breeze. Plus, there are four different colors and two sizes to choose from.
    Surface Pro 7+
    The Surface Pro 7+ is a business device, but it packs some power. It has the latest Intel processors and a removable SSD.
    Surface Pro X
    The Surface Pro X is an ARM device, meaning it will get even better with Windows 11. Plus, it has a modern design and larger screen than other Surface Pro models.
    Surface Go 2
    Microsoft's most affordable PC keeps the premium look-and-feel of the Surface line, but with lesser performance. It's still a great machine for school, though.
    Surface Laptop Go
    Offering a premium design and solid performance, the Surface Laptop Go is surprisingly good for its price. It's fairly affordable despite its looks.

Microsoft has the easiest-to-understand lineup of them all, so even without an official announcement, it’s easy to find out which devices will support Windows 11. Here are the devices that will get the upgrade.

Microsoft PCs eligible for Windows 11

  • Surface Book 2
  • Surface Book 3
  • Surface Go 2
  • Surface Laptop 2
  • Surface Laptop 3
  • Surface Laptop 4
  • Surface Laptop Go
  • Surface Pro 6
  • Surface Pro 7
  • Surface Pro 7+
  • Surface Pro X

Yes, oddly enough, Microsoft’s flagship desktop PC, the Surface Studio 2, doesn’t make the list. Neither does the Surface Go, which is just about three years old.

Samsung

Most of Samsung’s current portfolio can be upgraded to Windows 11. If you’re looking to buy a new laptop, the company has a few great options to choose from:

Samsung PCs you can buy for Windows 11

    Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 ⍺
    Everything you love in a Galaxy PC, taken further.

These are all the PCs we know of right now that will be support Windows 11 when it releases. As the launch is still some time off, plans are being finalized, and this list could still change. More companies should also make their lists of upgradeable devices available sometime in the next few months.

When the official release comes, keep in mind the rollout is gradual and you may not get it right away. However, there will likely be ways you can get the upgrade more quickly if you want to.

Chrome OS is still a better home for Android than Windows 11

The hype around Windows 11 came to a climax last week as Microsoft held an official event to announce the operating system. At the event, we got a surprise reveal that Windows 11 will run Android apps. Clearly, this is huge news to those that use an Android device along with their PC. Compatibility for mobile apps on your PC opens up new possibilities. Many mobile games don’t have a PC version. With Android app support, you can now bring your favorite game to your PC.  There are numerous other compelling use-cases, from social media to popular productivity and messaging apps.

Unfortunately, Android apps aren’t going to be as fun or useful on Windows 11 as they are on your phone. We know Android apps on Windows 11 will install via the Amazon Appstore. This isn’t a huge red flag as Amazon is, after all, a trusted name in technology. In fact, Amazon has quite a bit of experience with Android running on their Fire tablet ecosystem.

However, the Amazon Appstore still isn’t the Google Play Store. This very fact will lead to frustration among casual Windows users looking for the familiar Android experience on their PC. If you want amazing Android app support on your laptop, you might as well get one of the best Chromebooks.

Installing Android Apps on Windows 11

The first annoying aspect of the Amazon Appstore on Windows 11 is the inconvenience of running two app stores on your PC. While you can search the Microsoft Store for Android apps in Windows 11, you’ll need to leave to go to the Amazon Appstore to install any app you find. This means you’ll need to sign into both a Microsoft account and Amazon account on your PC.

Signing into both accounts is likely not a huge deal for most users — after all, many people have an Amazon account. But it does introduce a concern for those interested in privacy and limiting how they share information with big tech companies.

Android apps in the Microsoft Store

In addition, this issue forces users to check two distinct app stores for future updates. Many casual users struggle with reliably checking a single location for updates, so this introduces some potential security concerns. On a Chromebook, you don’t have these issues. Your Google account is seamlessly tied to the Chrome OS experience, as well as the Google Play Store. Since all web app updates happen automatically in Chrome OS, the only updates you ever need to check for are in the Play Store.

Amazon Appstore vs Google Play Store availability

Perhaps the biggest reason the Android experience is hobbled on Windows 11 is app availability. Amazon’s Appstore is the second-largest Android app marketplace, but it’s still not close to the Play Store in terms of the volume of apps available.

For starters, you can’t download all of your favorite Google apps from the Amazon Appstore. The lack of Google Play Services APIs restricts important things like push notifications. There are also a number of other popular third-party apps that are not available on the Amazon Appstore.

Our personal favorite wallpaper app, Backdrops, doesn’t have a listing on the Amazon Appstore for instance. There are certainly remedies to these issues in Windows 11 (accessing Gmail in your browser for instance), but the fact is having the Google Play Store would be a lot more convenient.

Microsoft App Store trending apps

Another huge issue is any paid apps or in-app purchases from the Play Store on your Android phone will not transfer to your PC with Windows 11. All of these purchases are typically made through Google, so you won’t be able to access them with apps downloaded from Amazon’s storefront.

This is obviously concerning if you use a number of paid apps, or have games with substantial IAP items built up in your Google Play account. Again, if you use a Chrome OS device this isn’t a problem. Any purchases made on your phone will automatically transfer over to the Android apps installed on your Chromebook or Chromebox.

Play Store on Chrome OS

Finally, there’s the issue of x86 vs ARM architecture. We know x86 apps are plentiful on Google Play thanks to years of defaults and pushes for additional architecture support (partially brought about by Android apps coming to Chrome OS). However, we don’t know much about x86 app density in the Amazon Appstore. All of Amazon’s own Echo/Fire devices run on ARM. This isn’t a huge concern yet, but does leave open some additional app compatibility questions for Android on Windows 11.

What about sideloading?

Microsoft engineer Miguel de Icaza confirmed Windows 11 is capable of sideloading Android apps as well. This means you can technically circumvent the Amazon Appstore and install any Android APK you want onto your PC. Of course, this has some inherent security risks.

Most sideloaded apps are found online in gray-market stores like F-Droid and APKMirror. As these sites are not rigorously monitored, the software on them may be illegitimately posted and not maintained by the developers. You won’t get any of your purchased content to transfer into sideloaded apps either, as these depend on Google Play Services.

APKMirror

Indeed, most users will never consider sideloading apps. This is a practice reserved for the enthusiast crowd and it’s not going to move the needle on the overall Windows 11 user base. Of course, you can also sideload apps on a Chromebook if you’re into that sort of thing.

Overall, Android apps on Windows 11 seems more like a curiosity than a flagship feature. It was certainly an unexpected announcement, and things could still turn out for the better. Perhaps the huge new audience of potential Windows users will revitalize the Amazon Appstore and lead app developers to put their flagship products in there. That would make Android apps on Windows 11 pretty cool, but it also seems like a less likely outcome. In the meantime, I’m perfectly happy with the Android experience on my Galaxy Chromebook 2.

PSA: Do not install the latest Chrome OS update

Last week, Google released a new Chrome OS update on the stable channel. Since it was a stable release, the thought of running into serious bugs and performance issues wouldn’t have crossed the minds of most users. But unfortunately, that’s exactly what seems to be happening to many users who installed this particular update.

It turns out the latest stable update, Chrome OS version 91.0.4472.147, is not that stable after all. Many Chromebook owners are reporting (via Android Police) severe degradation in performance after installing the latest Chrome OS update. And we’re not talking here about opening multiple tabs in Chrome browser or juggling between apps. Even doing basic things like typing, navigating around the UI, and opening apps seem to grind the PC to a halt, as reported by various users. Performing the usual troubleshooting like disabling all extensions, performing powerwash, restarting the PC and isn’t helping either.

In some cases, the issue is tied with the high CPU usage, as many people are noticing up to 100% CPU usage when checking with the Diagnostics app.

Diagnostics app on Chrome OS showin the CPU usage

Meanwhile, some users are noticing extreme sluggishness even with perfectly normal CPU usage and nothing performance-hungry running in the background.

For what’s it worth, the issue doesn’t seem to affect all Chromebooks; some users in the Reddit thread say they haven’t witnessed such performance issues after updating to Chrome OS version 91.0.4472.147. Based on the available data, the issue seems to be limited to devices with grunt and hatch boards.

If you are facing the above-mentioned performance issues after installing Chrome OS 91.0.4472.147, consider starring this bug report in the Chromium bugs tracker. Alternatively, you can also press alt+shift+i on your Chromebook to send a report to the ChromeOS team. If you’re on the prior version of Chrome OS, we would strongly advise you to stay away from the 91.0.4472.147 version.

Are you facing any performance issues on your Chromebook after installing the latest Chrome OS update? Do let us in the comments below.

Walmart Onn Android TV 4K Review: A compelling streaming box for $30

For years, one of the main problems with Android TV was the limited selection of affordable streaming boxes. Google didn’t have an answer to the rising popularity of the Fire TV Stick and Roku streaming sticks, and the few sub-$100 Android TV streamers that did exist (like the Mi Box S) suffered from poor performance and limited software support.

That started to finally change last year, with the introduction of the Chromecast with Google TV and a few other devices. Walmart has also now entered the game with two Android TV-powered streaming devices, a cheaper 1080p stick and a 4K box. The latter has a super-low retail price of $29.88 (as of when this review was published), making it the most affordable 4K Android TV device currently available.

The unhelpfully named ‘Walmart Onn Android TV 4K’ is a great device, but there are still unanswered questions about its long-term support.

  • Google Assistant

About this review: This streaming box was purchased from Walmart for this review, and I’ve been using it for around a week. Walmart was not involved in any part of this review.

Design and Hardware

If this streaming box looks familiar to you, it’s probably because you’ve seen this design before. As pointed out by AFTV News, Walmart’s device uses the same reference design and hardware as Google’s ADT-3 development box. It’s the same black plastic square with rounded corners, with a microUSB connector for power on one side and an HDMI connector on the front. Since there will be cables coming out of both sides, there’s really no way for this to look acceptable sitting next to your TV or in a media cabinet — your only choice is to hide it behind your TV.

Unfortunately, microUSB and HDMI are the only ports you get. There’s no extra USB port or microSD card slot for adding more storage, nor is there a LAN connector for Ethernet. The Chromecast with Google TV shares the same lack of connectivity options, though Google sells an adapter to add Ethernet support. I assume that adapter would work with this box, as I was able to use a microUSB OTG adapter with power pass-through to connect various USB devices (like an Ethernet adapter and flash drive).

The internal hardware is similar to other low-end Android TV devices. The SoC is an Amlogic S905Y2, a four-core ARM chip, paired with 8GB of storage (with around 5GB usable) and 2GB RAM. Don’t let those specifications fool you, though — the Onn box is surprisingly speedy. It’s quick to boot up, animations are smooth, and most applications don’t take more than a few seconds to open. I’m happy to see we’ve finally moved past the era of cheap TV streaming devices being slow and laggy.

Walmart went with the new Google G10 reference design for the remote, which is being used by some other Android TV and Google TV devices. It’s a white plastic remote, powered by two AAA batteries (which are included in the box). Besides all the usual controls for the Onn box itself, there are also volume and power buttons for your TV, just like on Roku and Fire TV remotes. There’s also a Google Assistant button (and a microphone) for using voice commands.

I have two main issues with the remote. First, the exterior color is more of a cream color than pure white, which makes it look a bit dirty. Second, the four buttons on the bottom are hard-coded to streaming services (YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max) and cannot be changed to launch other applications. The popular Button Mapper app doesn’t seem to fix this, but I imagine someone will eventually find a workaround.

Software

The Onn 4K box has a complete stock build of Android TV 10.0. That’s not the latest version of Android TV, but it’s the same version that Nvidia Shield and the newest Chromecast has. Most of the noticeable changes to Android TV roll out through updates to the launcher and other system applications, so the actual operating system version doesn’t matter too much. Most applications still support very old versions of Android TV (the latest Netflix update works on v5.1), so even if Walmart never updates this box, you shouldn’t have compatibility issues for a while.

The Onn 4K box is not running Google TV, which is the customized skin the new Chromecast and some other TVs/streamers now use. That’s not much of a loss, though — especially as Google has started porting some features back to Android TV. This has the same ‘Discover’ tab on the home screen as Google TV devices, and the Onn 4K can download and run all the same applications from the Play Store.

Unlike the ADT-3 and some other Android TV devices, this has all the DRM and encryption keys necessary for full-quality playback with Netflix and Disney+. It also worked well with every other streaming service I tried, including Hulu, Plex, and Prime Video.

Conclusion

Android TV has been missing a competitor to the Fire TV Stick and low-end Roku devices for years, outside of poorly-performing streamers like the Mi Box line. The new Chromecast with Google TV is a great option to have at $49.99, but Walmart’s box nails the basics for $20 less. It has a clean build of Android TV 10, a decent remote, and good performance — you can’t ask for much more at less than half the price of a new PS5 game.

Walmart Onn TV remote

The one caveat right now is ongoing software support. It’s not clear if Walmart will ever deliver a major Android OS update, even though the Onn 4K box has the same hardware as Google’s development box. Security might also be a concern if Walmart slacks on the monthly patches.

If you want the cheapest Android TV device out there that supports 4K and all major streaming services, this is it. However, if you’re looking for something that will get frequent (and fast) software updates, the Chromecast with Google TV is probably worth the extra $20.

      Walmart's new 4K streaming box is an impressive package for $30, complete with Android TV 10.

    Redmi 6/6A receive MIUI 12 update, but you probably shouldn’t install it

    After unveiling MIUI 12 in April last year, Xiaomi shared a list of eligible devices that would receive the update. But the company removed four devices from the list in December last year due to compatibility and performance issues. These included the Redmi Y3, the Redmi 7, the Redmi 6, and the Redmi 6A. This left users disappointed as the Redmi 6 and 6A had received only one Android upgrade, while the Redmi Y3 and Redmi 7 had received none.

    Although Xiaomi had stated that the four devices mentioned above would not receive MIUI 12, it has now released a stable build for the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A. The company shared information about the MIUI 12 build for these devices in a recent post on the MIUI Updates Tracker Telegram channel. As per the post, the stable MIUI 12 release for the devices is now available for download. However, the company advises against installing the build on these devices due to performance issues. The post notes:

    “After a year of adaptation, the MIUI 12 stable version of the Redmi6 and Redmi6A models are ready for upgrade. However, after testing by the mobile phone software R&D department, due the insufficient hardware performance of the two models, the MIUI12 stable version cannot meet the OTA full release Redmi6/6A quality standards. After careful consideration, the two models do not do OTA full push, but only provide fastboot packages to friends who want to try it out using manual flashing.”

    The post further highlights that the MIUI 12 stable release for the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A won’t offer smooth performance and users might experience “stalls and slow application startup.” If you still wish to give it a shot, you can download the builds from the links below.

    Download: MIUI 12 for the Redmi 6 || MIUI 12 for the Redmi 6A

    After downloading the fastboot package, you can follow the instructions given in this post to flash MIUI 12 on your phone.

    Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic stars in new 360-degree videos

    Samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch its new smartwatch lineup next month. Thanks to a steady stream of leaks and rumors over the past couple of months, we already know plenty about the new smartwatches. Until last week, it was believed the two smartwatches would be called the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Active. However, it later turned out that the Active model was actually the regular model, while a listing on Thailand’s certification authority NBTC’s website unearthed the new “Classic” model. We also got our first look at the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic on the same day the listing was found. Now, the watch has leaked once again.

    Veteran leaker Evan Blass has released three GIFs of the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, which give us a 360-degree look at Samsung’s upcoming Wear OS-powered smartwatch. While these GIFs don’t reveal anything new per se, they do corroborate previous reports and leaks.

    Galaxy Watch4 Classic pic.twitter.com/RDI6cq4ToR

    — Evan Blass (@evleaks) July 4, 2021

    As per Evan’s leak, the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic will sport a circular display, two buttons on the side, a rotating bezel, silicone bands, and come in at least three colors: white, black, and gray. This matches the leak from AndroidHeadlines last week.

    As per AndroidHeadlines, the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic will come in three sizes: 42mm, 44mm, and 46mm. The watch is said to feature a case made out of either stainless steel or aluminum and a layer of Gorilla Glass DX/DX+ protecting the display. It will reportedly carry an IP68 rating for dust and water protection along with MIL-STD-810G certification.

    The Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic are expected to be unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event “later this summer.” Both smartwatches will be the first to run the new, unified Wear OS platform developed in close collaboration by Google and Samsung.
