The start button has moved, widgets are making a comeback, and There's a new look for existing windows, and it's revisited its frosted-glass effect for some overlapping panels. Microsoft has always had a tendency to mess with its UI, and for Windows 11, it hasn't held back. The good news is Microsoft has a simple workout process you can follow if that happens.The most obvious changes to Windows 11 are on the user interface (UI) front. If you upgrade multiple components in your PC over time, Windows 11 may think you’ve bought a new PC and refuse to register the licence. So if you need to format your computer for any reason, Windows 11 will reactivate automatically. There are hacks around it but for most users I don’t see this being a big issue.įinal Tip: a Windows 11 licence is tied to your hardware.
The installation takes some time, involves several restarts and you will need a Microsoft account.
Tip: always backup your PC before upgrading to a new operating system or at least ensure your important files and documents are saved elsewhere, such as a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox. With that caveat out the way, if your PC qualifies, this is how you get Windows 11 for free. Windows 11 can be tricked to run on older PCs, but that seems a pointless endeavour because Microsoft is refusing to guarantee access to feature and security updates. But if you have a modern PC and choose to run an older operating system, then you can first get a free Windows 10 upgrade and use that to then jump to Windows 11. If you run Windows 7 / 8 it is highly unlikely your computer meets all these requirements.
