    Yes, you should upgrade to a newer version of Windows as it may run faster and has many more features. Upgrading may also fix any problems you are having with your PC.

    Press the Windows key. On Windows, it should open the start menu. On Linux and MacOS, it should show a window list. To check if your computer is using MacOS or Linux, check to see if the Apple logo is there. Linux does not have an Apple logo.
