I've been using Windows 7 for a long time and it's been quite stable for me. However, I know it's no longer receiving updates, and I'm considering an upgrade to Windows 11 because I've heard good things about it. I'm curious about the following:
Compatibility: Can I directly upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 11, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 10 first? Are there specific system requirements I should be aware of?
Data Transfer: What’s the best way to ensure my files, apps, and settings are transferred smoothly? Has anyone had issues with losing data during such an upgrade?
Performance and Usability: How does Windows 11 compare to Windows 7 in terms of performance and usability? Are there features that might be significantly different or new ones that are particularly useful?
Software Support: I have some older software that I rely on daily. Are there compatibility issues I should anticipate, and are there workarounds if the software doesn't run on Windows 11?
Overall Experience: For those who moved from Windows 7 to 11, how has the overall experience been? Would you recommend the upgrade, or are there particular challenges or benefits worth considering?
Any insights or tips from those who have made this transition would be greatly appreciated!
