How do I move the taskbar back to the left?

1. Right-click the taskbar and choose Taskbar Settings.
2. Expand the Taskbar Behavior section.
3. Choose Center from the Taskbar Alignment menu.

Are my existing devices Windows 11 compatible?

Most modern peripherals that worked on Windows 10 will continue to function. If you are using legacy hardware, it may need updated drivers from the vendor or alternative hardware.

How do I access my files?

Windows Explorer has a new look but functions similarly to its Windows 10 counterpart. Hold down the  + E keys, or click the folder icon on the Taskbar. Shared drives, department folders, and personal directories should all remain intact.

Can I rollback to Windows 10?

While rolling back is technically possible — Windows retains a system file backup for a short time after the upgrade — staying on Windows 10 is no longer viable due to discontinued support and lack of future security updates.
