We will walk you through how to upgrade your computer to the latest version of Windows in 4 easy steps:

Windows Setup – What’s Different?

If you have been a Windows user for a long time, you know that the setup process is always the same. However, with the release of Windows 10, things are different.

The first difference that you will notice is that there is no longer an option to select which type of installation you want to do – like choosing between “Upgrade” and “Custom (advanced)”. Instead, as soon as you click on Next on the first screen, it will automatically install in “Upgrade mode”.

That’s not all. If you want to perform a Custom (advanced) installation and make changes to your system like disk partitioning and which edition (Home or Pro) and architecture (32-bit or 64-bit), then there are no options for this either.

Final thoughts on upgrading to Windows 11

Upgrading to Windows11 is a big change. The environment has changed and it’s worth looking at the benefits of the new system.

• It’s easier than ever to multitask. Users can use windows on their screens simultaneously, which means that tasks can be completed in a shorter amount of time while still not affecting the quality of work done on each task.
• Upgrading your computer is easier than ever before with Windows11. There are many downloads available for different computers that will help guide you through the process if you’re unsure on what steps to take.
