Windows 11 Groovy Guide
On October 5th, 2021 Microsoft officially launched its newest operating system; Windows 11. If you have been staying up-to-the-minute with the latest tech news you may have even seen some articles about the update, and perhaps asked yourself, “What does this all mean for me and my computer?” Let GroovyTek be your guide to the key facts about Windows 11, and how they may apply to you:
What exactly is Windows 11?
Windows 11 is the successor to Microsoft’s previous operating system, Windows 10. Periodically, Microsoft releases a new version of Windows that incorporates new features and improves the general security and performance of their computers. This new version is typically free for existing Windows users, and this release is no exception; all Windows 10 users are eligible for a free update to Windows 11, provided that their hardware is compatible.
What is the difference between Windows 11 and Windows 10?
Compared to its predecessor, Windows 11 has more robust built-in security, superior WiFi connectivity, and will have fewer and smoother system updates. There are also many visual improvements, including a redesigned Microsoft store, with more and better offerings, and handy customizable desktop “Widgets” (clocks, calendars, stock market indices, etc.).
How and where do you get Windows 11?
Windows 11 is a free update for current owners of Windows 10 and it can be downloaded directly from Microsoft’s official website or installed from the “System Updates” tab in the “Settings” menu (available for compatible computers only).
Is my computer compatible with Windows 11?
Microsoft has their specific Windows 11 upgrade requirements listed on their website available for review here. If you aren’t sure what the specifications are for your computer, try downloading and running the PC Health Check app, available on the official Microsoft page.
Do I have to upgrade?
Don’t panic; Windows 10 will be supported until 2025. That being said, don’t wait around too long to make the jump; as we come closer to that date, more and more programs will cease to be compatible with the old Windows 10 operating system, and the system itself will become less protected from current digital threats.
Don’t wait to make the jump and take advantage of the new and improved Windows 11. If you are still deliberating on the merits of updating, or need help getting started with your updates, our friendly and knowledgeable Technology Trainers are here to assist!

It is comforting to know if you have technical problems there is a Hands On source to get help. These trainers listen to your problems, find solutions and work with you until you understand the solution, their patience is outstanding. This is a great way to not only solve problems but to learn about the ever-changing world of technology; there are class presentations, small group gatherings or one-on-one in your home with kind, friendly, people.

My tech from GoovyTek has been terrific. He is patient, knowledgeable, and explains things really well. I enjoyed learning new tools and features on my smart phone and computer. They have made doing things a lot easier and more enjoyable.
Jennifer H
I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.
Natalie W
The trainers are so friendly, and helpful. They certainly have lots of patience and knowledge. They make you feel so comfortable asking questions you would not dare ask your family to show you again how to do. They are always welcome in my home, sometimes I hate to see them go!
Debera F
Excellent help from our GroovyTek trainer. He spent an hour explaining issues that I was confronted with, on my computer, and corrected all my issues and problems. He was concise, knowledgeable and forthright and I will call on him and GroovyTek again whenever I need help and support. I highly recommend GroovyTek services!

Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.
Jim H
Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.

A wonderful service in every aspect from calling in to set up an appointment with GroovyTek and follow ups as well as the fabulous help, patience and expertise of the tech who came to the house to work with me with my computer issues. I would highly recommend GrooveyTek for all your computer needs! Thanks so much!

We have had several help sessions with a GroovyTek trainer. WE could not be more pleased. My trainer takes all our questions and while answering types up his answers so even after he leaves, we can refer to his notes. I would recommend GroovyTek to any of my friends or family without hesitation. BTW, ALL the employees at this firm are extrememly knowledgeable and friendly.

I have had two great sessions with GroovyTek and finally I have learned to use my smartphone calendar! I'm looking forward to my next session.
Mary D
GroovyTek has helped me, a 65 year old, learn how to do all sorts of things on my computer that I did not know about before. I had no one else to ask, and they have rescued me. It's so great to have a polite, friendly, knowledgeable person come to my house and teach me. What a wonderful service!
Margie C
Outstanding trainers with expertise and a lot of patience at a fair price. I have used them for two years and they have given me a much better understanding of the in's and outs of how to use many aspects of my computer. It is a pleasure to have them come to my home and work on my own computer problems.
