Just Did The Window 11 Upgrade on my Computer... All Good Yippee!

ciao_bella · ‎03-13-2010

Bought a laptop computer from Costco about 2 years ago. It came with Windows 10 but there was a free Upgrade to Windows 11 built in the computer. I was pleased using Windows 10, so everytime the reminder came up on the computer if I wanted to proceed with the upgrade, all I had to do was click on Upgrade Now.

I've procrastinated because I was afraid the upgrade might become a problem and I would be stuck not knowing what to do. This morning, before I had my coffee I booted my computer and one of those reminders came up on the screen. I must have been half awake because I clicked on Upgrade Now, instead of Not Now, Remind me Later.

Well, I'm pleased to share that the download of Windows 11 went seamlessly and it even allowed me to continue using Windows 10 checking my email, going online, etc, while the download took place.

It's pretty much like Windows 10 with the exception of a few things to be found in a slightly different place on the taskbar. I'm pleased, and so will my son be because I won't have to have him come and undo and/or fix something I screwed up. lol

When I did the Win11 update, I didn't see much difference from Win10. From what I understand the update was suppose to patch some security issues which Win10 has. Win11 is suppose to be more secure.

A have been a Mac person for so long I would be like a 3 year old using a PC I fear

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Yes, that's exactly what my son told me. Windows11 more secure. Only difference is a slightly different interface and a few new features. I actually don't see those differences, at least not yet. To me, it looks pretty much the same.

@ciao_bella Thank you for your experience...I have the same exact situation as you and continue to procrastinate fearing a problem, I will now give it second thought!

@ciao_bella

Back when I was a computer geek, I never upgraded till I thoroughly investigated every change within an update. Then I would pick and choose which updates I did and didn't want. I would "operate" on the registry (the brain of a computer), making changes. My happy place was online tech forums. Now, I may read a fluff article about an upgrade or I may not and hit the upgrade now button while crossing my fingers. I do think upgrades are better written than they used to be. Also, I don't have my computer weighed down with loads of sw and hw so that makes updates less worrisome. Glad all went well for you!

@ciao_bella Thanks for that report. I feel the same as you did... afraid to take the plunge from 10 to 11. Good to know (but I'll procrastinate a bit longer). LOL

Another procrastinator here but you now have me also thinking about taking the plunge, although I think I will wait a little while longer and you can report back in another week or so and let us know how things are going and if you are still pleased with it.
