Windows 11 is here. And now that you've had time to read our full review, you might be thinking about installing the upgrade on your own PC.

We think most people should wait a few months to give Microsoft time to iron out Windows 11's biggest new-operating-system bugs and finish releasing updates for Windows' built-in apps.
