    DS> So, what is the difference with Win11 versus Win10?  Have you seen any?   
      
     First, I've only used it since yesterday, so I haven't seen much.    
      
     Second, there are several differences...I use DuckDuckGo as my search    
   engine, and if you enter "differences between Windows 10 and 11", or   
   something similar, several difference links will appear...including ones   
   from Microsoft, CNet, and HowToGeek, among others. I didn't see duplicating   
   info already out there.   
      
     Here's a link from Microsoft, on the following items for Windows 11:   
      
   https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications#primaryR4   
      
     It covers the following items:   
      
   1) System and Feature Specific Requirements   
      
   2) Feature deprecations and removals   
      
   3) Keeping Windows 11 up to date   
      
   4) Language Versions   
      
     The other links I looked at were:   
      
   https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/windows-11-vs-windows-10-everything-   
   microsoft-changed-in-the-new-os/   
      
   (above URL all on one line)   
      
   https://www.howtogeek.com/737186/whats-the-difference-between-windows-10   
   -and-windows-11/   
      
   (above URL all on one line)   
      
     But, here's what I've noticed (this was before I went to the above URL's):   
      
   A) You can no longer set up a toolbar option (i.e. Desktop) from the   
   taskbar, and you can not view folder contents on the desktop from the   
   taskbar. The alternative is to pin the program icon to the taskbar.    
      
   B) The taskbar CENTERS the Start Menu icon, and the other icons. But,   
   you can choose to move it to the left, as it was with previous versions   
   of Windows. You also apparently can only have the taskbar on the bottom   
   of the display...no longer on the top or the sides.   
      
   C) The Settings deal is easier to get to on the Windows 11 Start    
   Menu compared to Windows 10. I had used a utility called Start Menu    
   8, from IObit Utilities, that created a Start Menu like Windows XP,    
   7, or 8 instead. I use several of the utilities from iobit.com on   
   both computers.   
      
   However, I may not go back to that Start Menu 8, as the Start Menu    
   with Windows 11 isn't as "busy and cluttered" as the Windows 10 Start    
   Menu was. Several of those items were moved to a category called    
   "Widgets". Also, the "live tiles" were removed...and you can't rename    
   pinned groups or folders of apps in the Start Menu.   
      
   D) You can choose which other running program icons you want to appear    
   in the taskbar...and which ones to "stay hidden".   
      
   E) You can choose several types of themes for the desktop. I chose   
   one that was easy on the eyes, as I normally work the bedroom, and   
   leave the overhead light off. You can also choose a "night light"    
   in the display to make it easier on the eyes.   
      
     I did NOT have to reinstall any of the programs and files that I   
   already had on the system (a Lenovo laptop, with a 64-bit CPU). But,    
   I made a backup beforehand...and then did another backup once the    
   install was completed.   
      
     I was notified when the system was "ready" to do the upgrade to    
   Windows 11. While you can continue your work on the system while the    
   package is downloaded and installed, it will take several hours to do    
   it.    
      
     However, once you click Restart to finish the installation, it will    
   take quite awhile for it to finish...and you will NOT be able to do    
   anything with the computer until the installation is done (it's now A    
   WAITING GAME -- you might as well take a nap, or go eat a nice large    
   meal). And, you don't want to power down or lose power to the computer    
   while this is being done, or the data will be royally corrupted.
