The announcement of a major new Windows version has fans of the operating system excited and ready to upgrade their computers as soon as possible. It looks like a worthwhile upgrade that needs to be performed carefully, as is the case whenever you move to a new version of your OS.

How to Install Windows 11 Without Losing Data

The all-new Windows 11 is finally available to the public. Microsoft has given users a few options to choose from when it comes to installing Windows 11, and for the most part, it’s quite straightforward.

How to Check if Your PC Can Support Windows 11

As operating systems continue to evolve, they demand more hardware resources from the machines that support them. Trying to run a modern operating system on an underpowered machine will surely lead to a frustrating and unproductive experience. If the OS works at all, it will be slow and is likely to exhibit many unpleasant characteristics.

Microsoft has published the minimum system requirements required for a PC to be compatible with Windows 11 on this support page. They recommend that you DO NOT upgrade to Windows 11 if your system does not meet these specifications.

Here are some of the specs that stand out.

• Your current system must be running Windows 10, version 2004 or later, to upgrade.
• The processor needs to be operating at 1GHz or faster and have 2 or more cores. It can be a compatible 64-bit processor or a System on a Chip (SoC).
• Your system has to include TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) support.
• The system has to have at least 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. More RAM and storage will result in better performance in virtually all instances.
• System firmware must include UEFI and be Secure Boot capable.
• An internet connection and a Microsoft account are both required to upgrade to Windows 11.

These are not trivial specifications, and not all systems will be ready to move to Windows 11. Even meeting these minimum requirements does not mean all Windows 11 features will work smoothly on your machine. We suggest you visit the Microsoft support page for full details on the requirements for advanced Windows 11 features.

In some cases, you will be able to determine compatibility relatively easily. For instance, if you are running Windows 8, you can’t upgrade to Windows 11. In other cases, it may be hard to tell if you can safely attempt an upgrade.

To help you answer that question, Microsoft has made the PC Health Check App available for Windows 10. Downloading and running the app will let you know if your system is capable of supporting Windows 11.

Once you have determined your system can handle the hardware requirements of Windows 11, you can get on with the upgrade.

Upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 without Losing Data

Windows 11 Installation Assistant

Microsoft allows you to upgrade using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant if the update isn’t available just yet through Windows Update. The tool will download the updated operating system and install it for you. In terms of effort, this method is one of the easiest as it doesn’t require the creation of any bootable media.

1. Download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant and open it. If prompted by UAC to allow permission, click Yes.
2. Read and accept the license terms.
3. When Windows 11 has been downloaded and prepared for install, click Restart now.
4. Windows 11 will install in the background. Eventually, you’ll be met with a login screen where you can log in to your new Windows 11 desktop.

Reset Windows 11 PC

This method of resetting your Windows 11 computer without losing your data is the easiest. It allows you to choose whether you want to reset from local files or by downloading the necessary files online.

1. Right-click Start and click Settings.
2. Click Recovery.
3. Click Reset PC.
4. Click Keep my files.
5. Click Local reinstall.
6. Click Next.
7. Click Reset.

What if I Still Lose Data After Upgrading to Windows 11?

As mentioned previously, there is always the chance that something could go wrong during an upgrade that results in unexpected data loss. That’s why you need to be prepared when updating your operating system.

Hopefully, the backups you created before starting the upgrade can be used to restore any files that were lost during the procedure. But if you decide to gamble and skip the backup step, or if your backup media fails, there is another option that can get your lost data back.

Data recovery software can help you locate and recover data that was lost or deleted during the upgrade to Windows 11. It’s also useful for any other time you accidentally delete or mysteriously lose files.

We like Disk Drill for a variety of reasons. It has great recovery capabilities, supports a wide array of file formats and device types, and has a very user-friendly interface. You can also use its free trial version to recover 500 MB of data to fully test the product’s functionality.

Here’s the procedure you would use to search for lost data on your PC after upgrading to Windows 11.

1. 1. Download and install Disk Drill for Windows. Don’t install it on your main system disk, as this risks overwriting the files you want to recover. We suggest using a USB-connected drive of some kind for downloading and installing the tool.
2. 2. Launch the app and select the disk where Windows 11 was installed from the list of available devices.
3. 3. Click the Search for lost data button to start scanning the disk for recoverable files.
4. 4. Preview the found files to determine which ones you want to recover. Make your selections.
5. 5. Click the Recover button. You will be prompted to select a storage location to save the recovered data. Once again, stay away from the main disk to avoid inadvertently overwriting or corrupting the files you want to recover.
6. 6. Click OK once the location is selected to complete the recovery.

Rolling Back to Windows 10

Hopefully, after upgrading your computer to Windows 11, everything is fine and you are enjoying its new features. But what can you do if you realize you made a mistake by upgrading? Perhaps your system barely met the specifications resulting in degraded Windows 11 performance.

Fortunately, if you determine that Windows 11 is not for you, it may be possible to roll your system back to Windows 10 if you act quickly. To perform this trick, you need to have used the Windows Update feature when the software was made available for your device.

If you used that installation method, you have 10 days from the upgrade to go back to Windows 10. At any point within those 10 days, you can use the following steps to downgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10.

1. 1. Open Windows Settings.
2. 2. Open the System tab and click on Recovery.
3. 3. Scroll down to Recovery options.
4. 4. Click the Go Back button.
5. 5. Choose your reason for downgrading and click Next.
6. 6. On the Check for Updates screen, select No, thanks.
7. 7. Click Next and then click Go back to earlier build for confirmation.

The process can take some time. Keep your machine powered on until the downgrade is complete.
