My esteemed listmates,

Planning ahead for the "upgrade" from Windows 10 to 11 on this Dell
laptop I was able to ID that this laptop was on the approved Dell list
(thank you again for all this list’s help!) .

Dell suggest you back up your W10 laptop via
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=backup+of+windows+10+to+external+hard+drive

 I've never completely backed up this laptop.

It's a 120GB SSD with 79.5 GB used running on an iCore 7 @1.900 GHz.

How long should I expect that backup to take?

Once all has been backed up then has it been straightforward to
install Windows 11 for those who have done this already?

Must I then reinstall all my programs - MS Office, Libre Office, GIMP,
VLC Media Player, etc.?

Or will they all just migrate to W11 use?

Thank you so much,

Charles,
