Is this laptop upgradeable beyond Windows 11? null

Hello there, Dave. We understand your inquiry about upgrading the LG gram 17″ Touch Screen Laptop (model 17Z90TL-H.AUB8U3) beyond its factory-installed Windows 11 Home and are here to help. Your LG gram ships with Windows 11 Home, and you have a couple of options for moving “beyond” that version: Upgrade to Windows 11 Pro You can purchase a Windows 11 Pro license from the Microsoft Store and upgrade directly through Settings → System → Activation → Upgrade your edition of Windows. Troubleshooting Step: Before upgrading, ensure your system firmware (BIOS) and LG’s Intel graphics and chipset drivers are up to date via LG Update & Renew, so the upgrade process completes smoothly without driver conflicts. Future Windows Releases (e.g., “Windows 12”) While Microsoft has not yet formally released a next-generation OS beyond Windows 11, the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and 32 GB LPDDR5X RAM in your gram meet or exceed typical hardware requirements for future Windows versions. When a new OS is officially available, it should install without issue—just verify compatibility through Windows Update once announced. Alternative Operating Systems (e.g., Linux) If you’re interested in Linux, the LG gram’s hardware (Thunderbolt 4, NVMe SSD, Intel Arc graphics) is well supported by major distributions like Ubuntu or Fedora. You can create a bootable USB installer, enter the BIOS (press F2 at power-on), disable Secure Boot if needed, and proceed with installation. If you’d like personalized guidance on purchasing and applying a Windows 11 Pro key, preparing your system for a future Windows release, or installing Linux, please send us a private message on social media at @LGUSSupport. We’ll be happy to walk you through each step so you can get the most out of your LG gram. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-gram-17-touch-screen-laptop-copilot-pc-intel-core-ultra-9-series-2-with-32gb-memory-1tb-ssd-obsidian-black/6615260.p?skuId=6615260 We appreciate you choosing LG and look forward to helping you upgrade your laptop experience. —Renzo
