Don't fear the command line. Start with a few commands.
This section is for people who just installed Windows 11 or want to use it more efficiently: what to do after installing, installing software with winget, PowerShell basics, shortcuts and where each setting lives.
Use the Copy button next to each command, then paste it into Terminal with Ctrl+V. For commands marked Admin>, open Terminal with Win+X > Terminal (Admin). Yellow italic text marks the parts you fill in.
PS C:\Users\user> winget upgrade --all
PS shows you are in PowerShell · C:\Users\user the folder you are in (your home folder) · > where you type. A Terminal opened as administrator says “Administrator” in its title bar.
