Is it worth bothering upgrading to Windows 11? 🤔
Microsoft really wants you to upgrade to Windows 11. But with over half of people still using Windows 10, apparently not everyone is convinced. In this video we go over the reasons you might want to upgrade or not, including new features both big and small. I also go over how to tell if you actually can upgrade even if it says you can't, and the process for doing so. And your options if you truly can't upgrade.
