Tall Timbers
Imperfect but forgiven
Microsoft Corp released Windows 11 yesterday. I've installed it on the laptop I'm working from at the moment. The first noticeable changes are the taskbar is a little bit wider if you had previously chosen small icons for the taskbar, and the start button default location is moved to the middle of the taskbar.

If you have a PC that meets the Windows 11 requirements, you can either wait for MS to make it available as an update to you or you can begin the process yourself. First to verify that your PC is compatible with Windows 11, download the Microsoft PC Health Check App and run that. It'll let you know if the PC is compatible with Windows 11. You'll find a link to download that app here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11#pchealthcheck
If the Health Check App says you're Windows 11 compatible, you can go to this page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sof...d=_2hesajx369kf6xz9sap6wurx6u2xr6xzkxog29uq00
and choose one of three ways to do the install. Most will probably want to choose the Windows 11 Installation Assistant method. If you do choose that method, after you've downloaded the Installation Assistant, and you're ready to do the upgrade, right click on that apps icon and choose to run it in Administrator mode. You're less likely to have any problems if you run it in Administrator mode and you're very likely to have the install hang up for lack of sufficient privileges if you don't run it in Administrator mode.
