Step 1: Do a backup of your important files
Before upgrading to Windows 11, back up your essential files in Windows; you should also create a recovery media at this time, like a USB flash drive.
Step 2: Go to settings and then select Update & security.
On the Windows 10 Start screen, go to Settings, then select Update & Security. (If you are on a home computer, click on System and Security instead.) Click Change PC settings.
On the left side is an option for "PC Update." Click it, and a window will open called PC settings.
Go to General. Scroll down to PC updates. If Windows is checking for updates automatically, select "Notify me but let me choose when to restart" and click Close.
Then select "Check for updates" and let your PC check for the Windows 11 update.
Step 3: Download and install Windows 11
When the Update is ready, you will see a message that the new Windows version is available.
Click to begin downloading, and choose whether you want to get updates at 2:00 A.M. or check manually only when using your computer (recommended).
When Windows 11 has finished downloading, it will install. You'll see a notification letting you know that your Update has begun. Depending on your Internet connection speed, this can take up to an hour.
If you have a Microsoft account and it's signed in to your device, your information will be kept. You'll also see the same Start screen with tiles that you had in Windows 10.
Step 4: Set up Windows 11
When the installation is complete, set up Windows 11; once on the Windows screen, click "Sign in with a Microsoft account." If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can sign up for one. Once you have signed up, enter your email address and password.
Then click Sign in. A confirmation box will open with your name and picture. Click Next.
Step 5: Choose your apps, settings, and files
Your information will be transferred to Windows 11. You'll see a notification informing you that your information is being transferred. Once the transfer is complete, you'll be asked if you want to keep Windows settings and files or delete them.
You can choose what you want to keep or not. Your files will either be moved or copied to OneDrive. (If your files are stored in another location on your computer, they won't be backed up.)
Click Next when you're ready to move on.
Then, click Install now, keep windows settings in the Recommended settings section, and click Continue.
You will now see a box with three buttons: Keep my files, Move my files, or keep my settings. Click "Keep my files." Then you'll see another box with three buttons: Install now, upgrade later (recommended), or cancel. Choose "Install now." Click Next again.
You'll see a confirmation box that opens up and says, "Do you want to continue?" Click Yes.

You can install Android apps on your Windows device and enjoy them on the go. You can use your phone's keyboard or mouse to control the apps from the Windows device.
