    What is The Best Approach When Upgrading W10 to W11?


    I currently have W10 Pro 64 Bit 22H2.I want to upgrade my W10 Pro 64 Bit to W11 Pro 64 Bit and want to keep all my Programs and Settings.I see there are 3 ways to do this:1 Windows 11 Installation Assistant2 Create Windows 11 Installation Media3 Download Windows 11 Disk Image ISO for x64 devicesWhich method is best to use?What is different between the 3 approaches?Is #3 ISO still require me to use an installation media tool? If yes, how do I do that and do I need to specify the W11 build info?

    :)

    How to transfer W10 License to W11

    I stupidly thought that if I was going to have a new PC, I might as well put W11 on it and, as I mentioned, having had problems which could not be solved with one PC when I upgraded from W7 to W10, I got afraid of having something similar happen when switching from W10 to W11, silly of me I guess, especially now that I find out that W11 is still half baked with (luckily until now) small problems that are more irritating than crimpling. I actually blew a couple of dollar on an additional 1TB SSD-M2 yesterday to do just what you suggest and I feel like a fool for buying W11.

    What is The Best Approach When Upgrading W10 to W11?

    Why does upgrading to W11 from W10 degrade startup performance significantly?

    On an Acer laptop, I upgraded to W11 from W10 after several "suggestion" messages from Microsoft to do that. Big mistake. Bootup now takes significantly longer as well as intermittent sluggishness on the internet. Sorry I upgraded. Is there any easy fix to this?
