Microsoft came up with a nice upgrade last year: Windows 11. Users of the older Windows 10 operating system will soon receive a notification that a new version is available, and that they can download it. And let that be a great opportunity for certain internet criminals to offer malware massively, disguised as a Windows 11 download.
Are you planning to upgrade to the latest Windows version? Be warned and pay close attention to the sender of the message. Don't just click on links for downloads on websites, you could end up in a lot of trouble. Some internet crooks are now very cunning to copy an official website so well that only a very trained eye can see the difference. But how do you get the latest Windows 11?
We give you some tips to download this new version safely and legally.

They sometimes do this by setting up a website that appears legitimate because it has, for example, the word `Microsoft` or `Windows` in the URL. But don't be fooled and save yourself from getting a Trojan horse if you download malware from such a website instead of the latest Windows.
What's new about Windows 11?
Windows 11 has a number of striking changes compared to its predecessor Windows 10. For example, the start screen is no longer at the bottom left of your screen, but in the middle. In addition, the new icons and semi-transparent windows provide more peace of mind on your screen.
Substantive differences are also noticeable. The main ones are:
You hardly dare to click anything these days. Of course we wrote earlier about increasingly real-looking phishing mails where only a trained eye sees that it is an fake. Fortunately, your gut feeling also says a lot in some cases!
