Is it free to upgrade Windows 10 to 11?

Yes.

Behaviour, not so much, it's very much a 'next' version of Windows 10 rather than the giddy jumps from 7 to 8 to 10. But it can measure the startup impact in Task Manager again
As you would expect more has appeared in Settings, the above being a case in point. Settings > Apps > Startup now displays the startup impact too.
The biggest change is a complete redesign of the Start menu - for a start there are no more Live Tiles and it's now in the middle of the taskbar by default, though you can shift it back to the left in Settings.
John has been busy and has set up Eleven Forum now, and posted lots of screenshots.

Bree,

Thanks for that.

Yes, I'd seen the screenshots and they were also very much a variation on a theme.

All the best,
Denis

The subject of Win 11 has been discussed in depth over the last couple of weeks.

I was able to download a copy of Win11 in an .iso this evening. I am still up in the air as to whether it would be okay to install it.
The dates on files is 30.5.2021. I guess I will try it on another machine and HDD.

I installed it in a Hyper V VM which worked fine. I would not install something of dubious provenance on a full PC.

FYI, a clean install of this W11 will require a minimum of UEFI and TPM 2.0, which none of my half-dozen or so machines have (only the newest one is capable of having its TPM firmware upgraded to 2.0).

However, I have found that an in-place upgrade has no such restrictions. Here I upgraded a Legacy MBR install of Win10 Home in a Hyper-V VM with no TPM security to Win11.
