Installing Microsoft Windows 11: A Step-by-Step Guide

Before installing Microsoft Windows 11 on your computer, there are a few things you should know to ensure a smooth and successful installation process. Here's what you need to do.

Pre-Requisites

To get started, you'll first need a license to install Windows 11 or have a Windows 10 device that qualifies for an upgrade to Windows 11. You'll also need sufficient data storage available on your computer, USB or external drive. Additionally, you'll require an internet connection and a DVD burner if you want to create a bootable disc.

System Requirements

To install Windows 11, your PC must meet the following system requirements:

* A blank USB or blank DVD with at least 8 GB of storage space

* Sufficient data storage available on your computer, USB or external drive

* An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply)

* A licence to install Windows 11 or a Windows 10 device that qualifies for an upgrade

Downloading the Installation Assistant

To start the installation process, you'll need to download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. This tool will help you create a bootable disc or USB drive and guide you through the installation process.

Running the Installation Assistant

Once you've downloaded the Installation Assistant, make sure that you don't turn off your PC. The tool may take some time to run, so be patient. You'll need to restart your PC a few times during the installation process.

Licensing Terms and Compatibility Check

When the tool is ready, click the Restart Now button to complete the installation on your computer. After restarting your PC, you'll be presented with the licence terms and a compatibility check. This check will ensure that your device hardware is compatible with Windows 11.

Post-Installation Checklist

After installing Windows 11, we recommend that you visit your PC manufacturer's website for information about updated drivers and hardware compatibility. Additionally, certain features may require additional hardware.

Common Issues with the Taskbar in Windows 11

Unfortunately, the taskbar in Windows 11 feels rushed and incomplete compared to Windows 10. For example, the context menu is limited to only one option ('Taskbar settings'), whereas in Windows 10, you had more customization options. Similarly, the context menu that pops up when you right-click on the taskbar is also limited.

Installing Microsoft Windows 11 requires a few simple steps and some basic system requirements. However, it's worth noting that the taskbar in Windows 11 has some limitations compared to Windows 10. We hope that Microsoft will address these issues in future updates to make the taskbar more functional and customizable.
