ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DATA BEFORE ATTEMPTING AN UPGRADE.

In short, we recommend holding off until at least the summer of 2023 to give Microsoft time to work out some of the bugs.

Before you decide to upgrade to Windows 11, be sure to run the Upgrade Advisor.  You can run the Advisor by going into settings, then Update and Security, and look for information about Windows 11 upgrade.  Review the contents of the Advisor’s results carefully.  The report will list any hardware or applications that are not compatible with Windows 11.  If any of your hardware is not compatible, then we recommend you do not upgrade to Windows 11.

If you are running business software, especially software that is designed for your type of business, you should contact your software vendor to find out if the software is compatible with Windows 11.

If you decide to upgrade to Windows 11, be sure your computer is running well before you start.  If your computer is already slow, has pop-ups or viruses, or experiencing hardware issues, upgrading to Windows 11 may fail and cause the computer to be unusable.
