Just Did The Window 11 Upgrade on my Computer... A... - Page 2

What would we do with our kids fixing our computer problems

I don't know. I'm still the computer geek for my daughter and occasionally the grandbabies. There are so many computer forums, the answer is just a keystroke away. Win 11 has been out long for bugs/glitches to be worked out.

I updated to Windows 11 on my Dell about a month ago. I elected to try "dark mode," as I didn't know what it meant. Now my blue screen is gone and the back ground is black. What I like? No more blue-screen headaches.

What is a problem? Harder to see typos in emails I am sending and a lot of my day is spent working through emails. The no-headache factor is the most important, though!

@Burnsite

I use darkmodes on my desktop and phone. So much easier on the eyes.

I couldn't tell you how many times I have tried to update to Windows 11. I get a notice at least once a day.

When I have tried to update, it never has gone through. And on occasion it has crashed my computer.

When you decide to update, I hope you have better luck than me.

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.

I've been reluctant to do the Win11 update. Question, (if I decide), do I just hit the upgrade now or need to disable any antivirus software? About how long did the update take? TIA

@drizzellla ...Thanks so much for sharing your experience...Everything is working fine as is so why take any chances in updating if not necessary...I am also planning on getting a new computer this year so I will just wait and see what is recommended at that time.

Always disable any anti software before updating Windows. Update time depends on your computer and it's contents. I don't recall how long mine took. Just do not try to reboot or turn your computer off during the install. Your computer will restart a couple of times on it's own.

@Sunshine Kate I just hit Update Now. It didn't instruct to disable anything prior to hitting the Update Now button. It took about 5 minutes for the update to complete. There's a screen that comes up while the update is completing. It says something like, "update in progress, don't turn off your computer" and you'll see a small, don't know what you call it, circular arrow turning to let you know the update is progressing along. At the end of the update, it instructs that it will automatically reboot on it's own. Honestly, you don't do anything but let it do its thing. It even asked me before the update if I wanted to continue using Windows10 for whatever I wanted to do like I normally do. I said, 'yes', and while it was updating I was in here checking on the forum threads.

p.s. I'm glad I updated. I like the added security that Windows10 didn't have, and I like everything about Windows11. There's barely no difference in how it looks from Windows10 using it. The only slight difference I found was on the taskbar, my power/shutdown icon was on the left side and now it's still on the left side but has a blue square cube (easier to see) that you click on. Otherwise, no difference in navitaging, browsing or anything else. All your bookmarks, apps, etc. all transfer exactly as you had them in Windows10.

Thank you so much for the detailed answer.
