Microsoft has given users an easy way to change their mind
In a surprising announcement, Microsoft said that all existing users are eligible to switch back. If you don’t want Windows 10 and would prefer to use a previous version such as Windows 7 or 8.1, now is your chance.
The offer will be open until July 29, 2016. However, some people who have tried downgrading from Windows 10 had mixed results.
Before upgrading, check if your computer runs on Windows 7 or 8.1
To check if your computer is compatible with Windows 10, follow these steps:
Click on Start > Settings > Update & security > Activation.
There, click on Check my device compatibility and then click on Learn more.
If you run a PC with an old operating system (for example Windows 7 or 8), then it will also be eligible for a free upgrade to an older version of Microsoft's operating system.
According to Microsoft, computers running either version are eligible until June 30, 2017 . After that date, only PCs that run Windows 7 SP1 or higher or have bought an extended support package will continue to receive updates from Microsoft.
Before upgrading, ensure that all files and programs are saved on an external drive. You can also save screenshots by using Snipping Tool which enables you to create images using certain areas of your screen.
Snipping Tool creates PNG files and lets you save them directly to a file on one's hard disk; after taking a screenshot, select File > Save As.
Hardware Requirements for upgrading Windows 11
Based on our testing, we estimate that upgrading to Windows 11 will use between 2 and 6 gigabytes of hard disk space. Be sure you have at least 10 GB free on your drive C disc before beginning and minimum quantity of 4GB RAM is necessary.
The screen resolution at least 1280x1024. Users with high-resolution monitors (e.g., 1600x1200 or higher) may experience clipping issues and are advised not to upgrade. The latest version of DirectX 9 is required but most systems running Windows XP will already have it installed.
What about my saved documents, photos, music, emails, and other files?
If you’re upgrading from an earlier version of Windows, most files will remain unchanged in File Explorer. However, if you're coming from Vista or XP, there are some differences in how those systems worked with files and folders.
XP used a system called NTFS, while Vista and Windows 7 use something called Vista-Ready or NTFS-3G. You can move folders between different systems without breaking anything.
however, it can sometimes break programs that rely on specific file names or organizational details.
How can I get the best performance from my PC after upgrading?
First, make sure that you have installed all relevant updates. This will improve performance, as it removes any bugs or issues that could be causing system errors.
Second, be aware that older programs may not run correctly on Windows 11, even if they ran on a previous version of Windows. If an old program isn't working properly, check with its developer to see if it has been updated for use with your new operating system.
Third, be aware that devices don't always work as expected after being upgraded; if one device isn't working correctly with a new OS version and there is no update available from its manufacturer or from Microsoft, try connecting another device or searching online for possible solutions.
Is there anything else I should know before upgrading to Windows 11?
When installing it, make sure that you don't remove or turn off any other operating systems. Windows 11 will only work on one computer at a time. if you have multiple computers in your household, upgrading one will automatically uninstall Windows 10 from all of them.
Additionally, it can take up to five minutes for Mac OSX and Linux users to begin seeing changes once they have updated. Also, once installed on a device running an older version of Android, anything more than an hour old should be erased so that those files don't get mixed with newer ones.
What happens if I change my mind and want to go back?
When you change your mind and want to go back, simply click on Windows 8.1 and download it. This can be done as many times as needed before upgrading for real.
You can choose which version of Windows 8.1 suits you best, but don't forget about a free option. It is exactly like Home edition, except that it includes more business-oriented apps.
