I'm planning to help my grandparents upgrade their old Dell computer to Windows 11 this weekend, and I have a few questions to make sure everything goes smoothly. Are there any specific things I should pay attention to during the upgrade? Also, how easy is it to disable the co-pilot feature? I want to keep their experience simple and not have them worry about unexpected pop-ups. Lastly, they're telling me the computer is low on storage and while I'm not sure about the model, what are some reliable brands for storage upgrades? They don't need anything fancy since the computer is older.

When upgrading the Dell, you might hit some roadblocks if it’s an older model. Depending on whether it uses a SATA or NVME drive, you’ll need to choose the right storage. Brands like Crucial, WD, Sandisk, and Seagate are reliable for SSDs. Prices can vary based on size, so check that out too!
Definitely make sure to back up their data first! You don’t want to risk losing anything important during the upgrade process. An external hard drive would be a good idea for this. Just ensure everything is saved before you start making changes!
Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely grab an external hard drive for backup. I'm aware that it might not be upgradable, but it’s good to have a plan just in case!
