    Uninstalling Rarely Used Programs before Upgrading W10 to W11


    I thought I'd try a W10 to W11 upgrade to see how well it works before I try a clean install of W11.So, I was thinking that uninstalling Programs & Apps I rarely use would made my upgrade work better.Can I expect that to happen or is that wishful thinking?

    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.
