Yes, Windows 11 is the latest version of Windows and the recommended replacement for Windows 10. As of October 14, 2025, Windows 10 has reached End of Support. PCs running Windows 10 will continue to function; however, they will no longer receive software and feature updates, security updates and fixes, or technical support. For more details about your options, please visit the End of Support page.

To see if your PC qualifies, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and select Check for updates if there is not already a notification that your PC can upgrade to Windows 11.

The answer depends on your specific needs. Many people find everything they need right on their new PC, but sometimes there is a need to add additional hardware to augment your experience. If you use CD-ROM software, with most modern PCs you’ll need an external CD-ROM. If you’re switching from a laptop to a desktop, you might need to purchase a monitor (and potentially a docking station). If you already own hardware that you want to continue to use, most software and accessories that worked with Windows 10 are expected to work with Windows 11. If you want to be sure, please check with your accessory manufacturer.

It’s free. But only Windows 10 PCs that are running Windows 10 20H1 or later and meet the minimum hardware requirements will be able to upgrade. You can check to see if you have the latest updates for Windows 10 in Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. To determine if your device is eligible to upgrade to Windows 11, see Get Windows 11.

Windows Backup automatically backs up most files, settings, apps, and log-in credentials from PCs running Windows 10 or 11, so you can restore your stuff and feel instantly at home on your new PC. Windows Backup requires a Microsoft account and any data transfers exceeding 5 GB requires a Microsoft subscription or trial. Many apps will reinstall after completing a backup, but others will require manual reinstallation from the original app provider. Some apps may not be compatible with Arm devices, although many apps do work on Arm PCs. Learn more at https://www.worksonwoa.com/en/ and at Windows Backup details.
