  1. Create a Folder
    Press and hold any app until all apps jiggle (or tap Edit Home Screen).
    Drag one app on top of another that you want in the same group.
    A folder will be automatically created with a suggested name.
  2. Use the App Library: Swipe left on your Home Screen until you reach the App Library. Apps are automatically sorted into categories like “Social” or “Utilities.” You can use this to find and organize apps.
  3. Rename the Folder: Tap on the folder to open it. Tap the name field and type in a new name, for example, Google apps. Press Done on the keyboard.
  4. Add More Apps to the Folder: While apps are still jiggling, drag additional apps into the folder.

Upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11

Windows 10 will reach the end of support on October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will no longer release free security updates, bug fixes, or provide technical support for the operating system. In this video, we will guide you through the process of upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

  1. Check System Requirements: Ensure your PC meets the minimum requirements for Windows 11. You can use Microsoft’s PC Health Check tool to verify compatibility.
  2. Backup Your Files: Create a backup of all your important files to avoid any data loss during the upgrade process. Type Windows backup in the search bar. Open Windows backup. Use an external hard drive or cloud storage.
  3. Run Windows Updates

1) Open Windows Update: Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.

  • Check for Updates: Click on “Check for updates.” If your PC is compatible, the option to upgrade to Windows 11 should appear.

3) Download and Install: Select the Windows 11 update and click “Download and install.” Follow the on-screen instructions.

  1. Restart Your PC: Once the installation is complete, restart your PC when prompted. Your system may reboot several times during the process.
  2. Set Up Windows 11: After the final restart, you’ll be guided through the initial setup for Windows 11.

If your PC is running an older version of Windows 10, you may not be able to upgrade it to Windows 11. In this case, you need to update to the latest version of Windows 10 first.

Another possible reason you can’t upgrade to Windows 11 is that your PC’s current settings do not enable TPM 2.0. If your PC is equipped with TPM 2.0, you may need to access the BIOS and enable it.

We also provide a list of other possible reasons why your PC may not upgrade to Windows 11.

1. Hardware Incompatibility: Windows 11 has specific hardware requirements, such as:

o A compatible processor (Intel 8th Gen/AMD Zen 2 or newer).

o Secure Boot capability.

o At least 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

2. Outdated BIOS/UEFI: If your motherboard’s firmware is outdated, it might not support features like Secure Boot or TPM 2.0 or older CPUs.

3. Unsupported Graphics Card: Windows 11 requires a graphics card compatible with DirectX 12 or later.

4. Registry or Group Policy Blocking Upgrade: Some organizations or users manually block Windows 11 upgrades via **Group Policy** or **Registry edits**.

​If the Windows Update check doesn’t offer the option to upgrade to Windows 11, you can manually upgrade by downloading the Windows 11 ISO file and installing it.
