Windows 11 is the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system, and it offers a number of improvements over previous versions. If you’re running Windows 10, then an upgrade to Windows 11 could be a no brainer – and in this article, we’ll show you how to do it.  Want to know more about windows 11? Take a look at our other blog ‘Should your business move to windows 11?

First and foremost, Windows 11 brings with it a host of new features. These include a new ‘light mode’, which makes it easier on the eyes when working in low-light conditions; an improved Start menu; and more granular control over updates. 

There are also performance enhancements under the hood, making for a smoother overall experience. Including a speedy search function, with a similar performance to Apples ‘spotlight’. So if you’re still using Windows 10, now could be good time to upgrade – and we’ll show you how to do it below. 

NOTICE: Before you begin, make sure you have a backup of your important files – just in case anything goes wrong during the upgrade process. If you work with an MSP (or an IT Support Provider) It’s important you make them aware of your desire to update to windows 11. As you may need specific changes and assistance to do so.

Step 1: Download and install the Windows 11 Upgrade Assistant
