Sam –
I upgraded to Windows 11 was now in a pickle because it’s quite different to windows 10, but I decided to make the best of it. I got this book to guide me through the new stuff. The book opens by looking at what is new with the 11 version. Then goes onto how to configure and personalise it. Then, the book talks about how to use the interface and the new features. It covers basic stuff like configuring the keyboard, but also more complex stuff like OneDrive, internet, email, and apps. Overall, this book did just what I needed it to do and helped me out of a jam.
