Windows 10: Can I upgrade to Windows 11 later if I clicked Stay on Windows 10 for now

Today I have got the option to upgrade to Windows 11. But since it is my main machine and I have upcoming exams, I am a bit skeptical to upgrade right now. Under such circumstances, I am having a few queries regarding the option - Stay on Windows 10 for now.1. Can I upgrade my compatible PC later to Windows 11 for free if I click this option?2. Is there any deadline for a free upgrade?3. Will I be able to upgrade my PC after October 14, 20254. What will happen to my local files and apps if I upgrade my OS to Windows 11?Thanks in advance.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 8 Upgrade Streamlined to 11 Clicks

For those who upgrade between succeeding versions of Microsoft Windows, the upgrade installer can be cumbersome. There are way too many prompts and clicks. Microsoft is working to make the upgrade package of its next major version of Windows, for now referred to as Windows 8, streamlined to as few as 11 clicks. The new installer will be designed to perform most of its tasks without needing user input.

Microsoft will implement a new web-delivery method, where you purchase your Windows 8 license online, and the installer downloads your soft copy to you. It is pre-fed with your 25-character product key. Microsoft's next major Windows release is slated for 2012.

Windows 8 Upgrade Streamlined to 11 Clicks

8 clicks too many IMO, unless of course there are issues that the user needs to resolve. 11 is far too many. WHAT are they thinking that "11" is a goal to trumpet! Really, 1 click to accept install, 1 click to accept license agreement, and 1 click to confirm default standard installation not custom.

(Actually, today, it is 12 clicks too many. You shouldn't even run the installer and should stick with XP ... *Wink LOL)
