Being up to date is necessary. And I bet that’s why you are here, right? To know whether you can upgrade your OS to its better version and learn how to do it. Well, as I always mention, we’ve got you.
In this article, we will be discussing on how to upgrade windows 10 to windows 11:
WHY ARE WINDOW UPDATES NECESSARY?
Why should anyone install the latest updates windows keeps putting out? Its like there are some new ones every month or two and that is just not what an administrator likes to keep doing. Am I right?
However, my advice: You should definitely install all updates. Like I mentioned in my previous article, Windows isn’t perfect. There are bound to be errors… and security issues are the number one factor such updates try to resolve. The code for windows contains loopholes and incompatibilities that can’t block out all sorts of malware, thus making your PC susceptible to an attack.
Moreover, outdated software elements are required to be patched, even if you do not use them… because they are in your PC, and this is where the system updates come in. Such factors may not be the cause of security inefficiency but can destabilize the actual process… or just be annoying.
With the latest updates and security fixes that are identified on a daily basis, such vulnerabilities and incompatibilities are fixed. Even if you are just a home user who thinks he hasn’t given any critical info online, you’d be surprised at what hackers and malwares can exploit simply by your Gmail id. The potential consequences include loss of personal or official data, identity theft, money loss, software damage and more.
WHAT NEW DOES WINDOWS 11 OFFER?
Windows 11 have arrived with many new features and a new look. Some of the features are:
NEW INTERFACE: The windows 11 interface has more chromatic colors and rounded colors and as many reviewees stated, a more “mac-like” look, and I just have to say, the new look is slick in this modern world. They even got a new start up sound. You will see that the iconic “windows” icon found at the bottom right corner of the screen has now moved to the center along with other app icons, resembling to… yes, an android.
WIDGETS: Windows had added a similar update like this to windows 10 but it was discontinued. However, it is back now! If you click on the widgets icon in windows 11, the screen will show a list of personalized widgets that can tell you weather reports, sports, news etc in an instant look.
INTEGRATED ANDROID APPS: Another step towards the merging of PC and android… windows 11’s app store will have a built-in amazon app store that allows you to download and run android apps on your laptop. Tiktok, here I come!
MICROSOFT TEAMS: Microsoft teams has been better integrated in windows 11 and will be found in the taskbar. Accessing teams will be like accessing facetime on Mac and will be accessible on Mac and iOS as well.
