Congratulations, but listen, the best thing is to NOT update to a new OS over an existing OS but rather get a computer with the OS you want.

I know this is highly impractical financially and physically for many, including myself, I still use Widows 8.1 and will not update to Windows 10 on my computer. I will wait until I can afford a computer with Windows 10 (or whatever OS is the latest at that time).

I got this advice from an IT professional who runs an IT/Cybersecurity school.
