For general Windows 11 Home issues on a laptop:
- Check for updates
- Open Settings > Windows Update.
- Select Check for updates and install any offered updates. If the device originally had Windows 10 Home in S mode and meets the minimum hardware specifications for Windows 11, Windows Update can offer Windows 11 Home (including S mode where applicable).
- If the device is in S mode and app installation is limited
- Windows 11 in S mode only allows apps from Microsoft Store and requires Microsoft Edge for browsing. To install apps from outside Microsoft Store or to move from certain editions, it is necessary to permanently switch out of S mode. This change cannot be reversed.
- If the device was upgraded from Windows 10
- When upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11, the same edition is normally installed (for example, Windows 10 Home → Windows 11 Home). If running Windows 10 Home in S mode and the hardware is eligible, Windows Update offers a free upgrade to Windows 11 Home in S mode.
- If running Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education in S mode, switching out of S mode is required before upgrading to Windows 11, because S mode is only available for Windows 11 Home.
- If there are problems with Windows Update or activation
- For update issues, use the Windows Update troubleshooters described in the Windows 11 update history and release health pages, or open the Get Help app from Windows for guided troubleshooting.
- For persistent update issues or version/feature problems, check the Windows 11 release health pages for known or resolved issues and use Feedback Hub to report problems.
For more precise help, specify each problem (error messages, where it appears, and what has already been tried).
