# CUDA Toolkit on Windows 11 · x86_64 · preview/cuda

[packages.nvidia.com](https://packages.nvidia.com/win11/x86_64/preview/cuda/) · [Product guide](/prerelease/cuda/SKILL.md)

Install guide for **CUDA Toolkit ** on **Windows 11**
(`win11`, `x86_64`). Windows 11 ships a direct-download installer
(`.exe`), not a package repository, so there is no repo to enable.

## Install

```bash
# CUDA Toolkit for win11 is a direct-download installer, not a repo package.
# Get it from https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx, the NVIDIA App
# (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/software/nvidia-app/), or Windows Update.
```

## Coverage

- Product: `cuda` v
- Distro: `win11` (Windows 11)
- Arch: `x86_64`
- Channel: `preview/cuda`
- Released: 2026-09-22

## Package identifiers (PURL)

Each installer has a Package-URL (purl-spec) identifier. A Windows ``.exe`` is
not an rpm/deb package, so it uses the registered ``generic`` type:

    pkg:generic/nvidia/{name}@?arch=x86_64&distro=win11

The exact per-installer PURL is shown on this page at https://packages.nvidia.com/win11/x86_64/preview/cuda/.
