Preparing for Windows 11 upgrade

Troytempest

My PC is capable of running Windows 11 and I am getting the usual Microsoft prompts to do so.
Prior to upgrading I am giving it a good tidy up and ensuring everything is backed up.

I was wondering what will happen to the MSOffice Professional 2016 that I use - can anyone advise if this will continue to work.

Thank you

Office should be fine yes, but you might need to reactivate it after installing W11 so make sure you have the activation key to hand.

Upgrades can and do go wrong, make sure you have a full backup of the whole PC before upgrading. I use Acronis True Image, but there are free alternatives.

Only this weekend my laptop fouled up with a Window 11 Pro 24H2 update... really annoying, but as I had a backup it was only a few minutes work to restore it (around 10 minutes).

I run Office 2010 and have just upgraded to W11. I backed everything up before doing so and no problems. As my friendly computer Repair shop said that it obviously had to do so. In my case I was checking due to my clients having versions and it was essntial they all worked.

When I bought my current laptop I had a problem as Office 2010 and 365 clashed. removed 365 and all was OK.
