  • Windows 10 PCs: reset and restart

  • Wait for the reset process to complete, then install all Windows updates - this may require two or three restarts, depending on how long your PC has been out of operation.

  • Next, upgrade to Windows 11 if possible.

  • If the PC Health Check app indicates that your laptop is not supported, you may still be able to upgrade to Windows 11, depending on how your laptop falls short of the requirements. However, this carries risks. Read the guide from Ars Technica to decide whether you want to upgrade or continue using Windows 10.
