AskWoody PlusJune 20, 2024 at 1:34 pm in reply to: Asking advice on setting up a new Windows 11 Pro Machine #2682173I haven’t turned on the PC as of yet. I am gathering ideas.
I already have a Microsoft account, unless advised against using it. I’ll be using that.
I have no current MS Subscriptions, unless it comes with a free trial.
I see no need to be using BitLocker at any point.
Besides not wanting CoPilot. I can’t think of any off of the top of my head. I’d prefer to go along with Susan’s recommendations per se.
I’ll be using it for emails, streaming and listening to audio files via CD or of my FLAC files.

AskWoody PlusYes, I am patient. But this update session was really trying my patience. Thankfully, they seemed to install. I just had to wait longer than I wanted it to. Though I did have to restart a couple of more times than I am used to. I guess I had a slow connection or large files to download. Everything seems to be working in good order now. I’ll just have to wait and see over the next few days.

AskWoody PlusI started the update about a half hour ago and I have been stuck here at this point for about 40 minutes or so. Is there any way to speed things up? I am using Windows 10 Home version 22H2.

AskWoody PlusThen how do I proceed with updating to 23H2?

AskWoody PlusI did at one time have Microsoft 365, but no longer have it installed.

AskWoody PlusThanks, it is as I suspected it was. I do not use the Mail & Calendar as my mail client(s). I will simply uninstall it and deal with it later if it pops up again in the future.
I have uninstalled it and will refer to this topic in the future if the need arises.

AskWoody PlusNow that I do not know. It appeared as a notification on my taskbar. I clicked on it to see what it was. If I remember correctly, it was to install the new Outlook. But before I clicked on to setup, I closed the application. If there is a history on my computer that I can access to see which version it was asking. Then I would be glad to let you know.

AskWoody PlusI did another attempt at installation. It worked. I was able to install the update successfully.
