5 steps I took for a successful in-place upgrade of my 6-year-old PC from Windows 10 to 11

Windows 11 was released in October 2021. I bought a PC a couple of years before it came out, so it arrived with Windows 10 Pro preinstalled. I have other PCs, but still use this six-year-old HP Omen as a primary production machine. Perhaps I’m lazy or didn’t want to mess with a perfectly good Windows system until now. It’s time to upgrade, and I decided to take a calculated risk and opt for an in-place upgrade.
