Before upgrading to Windows 11, consider the following steps:

  1. Check compatibility: Use Microsoft’s “PC Health Check” tool to ensure your PC meets the system requirements.
  2. Back up data: Secure important files on an external drive or in the cloud.
  3. Install updates: Update your current operating system and all drivers to the latest version.
  4. Check software compatibility: Ensure your applications are compatible with Windows 11.
  5. Free up space: Make sure there’s enough storage space for the upgrade.
  6. Create a system restore point: Set a restore point in case issues arise.


These steps help facilitate a smooth upgrade.
