Microsoft has already started rolling out an optional update of KB5005101В to Windows 10 (released on Sept. For example, Commerce Clearing House - a maker of tax preparation software - indicated that it will not be supporting Windows 11 for the upcoming tax preparation season that starts in February 2022 and runs through April 15 (assuming the tax deadline is not pushed as it has been in prior years). Already, IвЂ™ve been receiving notifications from my line of business vendors that they wonвЂ™t be supporting Windows 11 for several months after release. Next I check those applications I use day to day for either my own PCs or the computers at the office. 1, only Outlook 2013 SP1 and later will connect to Microsoft 365 and Office 365. But some older Office suites may be dropping out of support and, in particular, no longer supporting online services such as Microsoft 365 or Office 365. I have a subscription to Microsoft 365, so I know it will be supported. Next, I check my Office suite to see whether it will support Windows 11.

So check the antivirus you use and ensure that itвЂ™s fully up to date or uninstall it if you plan to upgrade to Windows 11. IвЂ™ve tracked issues in the past when antivirus from third-party vendors did not support a Windows release on day one and caused issues. I rely on Microsoft Defender, as I feel it ensures that Defender will support the operating system on the day of release. Here's what I keep an eye on before any upgrade.ДЇirst, I check whether my antivirus software supports whatever IвЂ™m trying to install. More than anything else, I need to make sure that the key software I rely on will support any new feature release. ItвЂ™s not just early-release bugs that will keep me from rolling out Windows 11 to the few systems I have that will support it. (This was recently showcased at Michael NiehausвЂ™ technology blog, Out of Office Hours, where he found that Windows Server 2022 needed a recent cumulative update installed to fix several bugs.) From operating systems to Internet of Things devices, everything needs an immediate update to function as advertised. With software these days, everything you purchase ships with an unfinished product behind the virtual shrink wrap.
