Inquiring about the cost of maintaining Windows 10 at $30.00?
During a short time frame, yes. Approximately one year.
According to what I know, MS hasn't released all the information yet.
Yes, AUSU Z590. Only need to turn on TPM 2.0. I'm a bit anxious about it. I believe I'll lose my pictures, files, and other stuff on my computer if I make the change. I wasn't as worried before upgrading from Windows 7 to 10 because I could keep all settings. Recently, when I enabled TPM 2.0, there was no issue. Then I tried to activate Secure Boot, but it caused a big problem. Spent three hours on the phone with Asus trying to fix my BIOS. This happened before I installed Windows 11. It's a tricky situation—can't install Windows 11 unless Secure Boot is enabled, which I can't do.
Like any significant modification, you must have a reliable complete backup ready.
This includes your private documents and photos as well as a full backup of the C drive.
Just in case.
An upgrade from version 10 to 11 generally works without issues.
Typically.
Be ready for the uncommon scenario when it doesn’t succeed.
Added more background info:
Yes, AUSU Z590. Just need to enable the TPM 2.0. Just nervous about doing it. I think, I'll loose my picture, documents, etc, everything on my computer if I upgrade. I don't thin it like when I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 and was able to keep all settings. The other day, I enabled TPM 2.0, No problem, Next tried to activate Secure Boot, Major problem Spent 3 hours on the phone with Asus to fix my Bios. This was before installing Windows 11. It's a catch 22, Cant's install windows 11 unless you have a secure boot activated, which you can't do.
Regardless of how you reach the destination, upgrading the operating system shouldn't cause any data loss.
Whether it's an in-place update, a complete reinstall, or something else...
