Hello folks, recently Microsoft rolled out its new Windows 11 on 5 October. If you don&rsquo;t know about the features of Windows 11, then you can check out <a href="../blogpost/windows-11-iso-leaked" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this</a> blog. So, this blog is solely for those who want to upgrade to windows 11 and are confused about whether they should update or not?
Despite being the latest version of Windows, I don&rsquo;t think you should upgrade to Windows 11 right now. Windows 11 has been optimized for good productivity and also packs with a Good UI design, but it is too early to migrate. I mean in probably 3-4 months I might upgrade, but not now. Why? Because&nbsp; I personally think there&rsquo;s not much to explore in windows 11 right now. The most hyped feature, the support for android apps in windows, for which I was excited about the most, got delayed, and also, there are reports coming that the final release has some performance issues. I heard some news where a user said:
&ldquo;A Dell XPS 13 just felt slower, despite its 10th-generation Intel processor and 8 gigabytes of RAM. Even when I closed Slack, which was eating RAM like a hungry hippo, the computer still wasn&rsquo;t as peppy as it was on Windows 10. If your older computer is still running smoothly on Windows 10, you might think twice before upgrading!&rdquo;
If you still dare to upgrade to Windows 11, then here&rsquo;s the official method to do so.
&lt;|AD|&gt;
<h2>Steps to install Windows 11 (without losing any data)</h2>
1. Navigate to this site: <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows11">https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows11</a>
2. Now click on download installation assistant.

Should You Upgrade To Windows 11 Just Yet? + Installation of Windows 11

Hello everyone, in this blog, we will build three pc under the budget of 30k rupees.&nbsp;
We are going for custom build this time just because prebuilds are not good and there you don&rsquo;t have the option to choose the components and sometimes the performance of those components are poor. Also, prebuild components don&rsquo;t offer you many upgradability options. In terms of custom builds, we have the independence to choose components and we also have better upgradability options. And we can build the pc at an affordable price.&nbsp;
Here I&rsquo;ve mentioned different builds:
&nbsp;
<h4>20000 INR BUILD</h4>
For the 20k build, we are going with this configuration
Processor - AMD Athlon 3000G
Motherboard - Gigabyte AMD A320
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR4
Storage - Seagate 1TB&nbsp;
Cabinet - Frontech Semi-Premium Full ATX
Total Price: 19038
&nbsp;
<h4>25000 INR BUILD</h4>
For the 25k build, we are going with this configuration.
Processor - Core i3 10100
Motherboard - MSI H510M-A PRO
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR4
Storage - Seagate 1TB&nbsp;
Cabinet - Frontech Semi-Premium Full ATX
Total Price: 27750
&nbsp;
<h4>30000 INR BUILD</h4>
For the 30k build, we are going with this configuration.
Processor - Ryzen 3 3200G
Motherboard - ASRock A320M
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR4
Storage - Seagate 1TB&nbsp;
Cabinet - Frontech Semi-Premium Full ATX
Total Price: 26750
&nbsp;
Due to the high prices of PC components at this time, these are the best I could gather. Maybe the prices will get low in the future, and these builds will become cheaper than they are right now. I have chosen iGPU for the intel build, and APU&rsquo;s for AMD builds as dedicated graphics card prices are much higher. If you plan on gaming somewhere near the future, you can add a graphic card to the build.&nbsp;
I have prepared a google sheet with links, you can access it by using the links given below.

PC Builds for Coders - Budget PCs You Can Build This Festive Season

In this blog, we will be discussing the best laptop models to buy for students. Before buying any laptop you should consider these points first.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Importance of SSD:&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
You should always prefer a laptop with SSD. SSDs are 10X faster than mechanical hard drives and are highly recommended these days. SSDs usually have a longer life compared to mechanical drives.
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Importance of Recent Processors:&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The processor is responsible for processing the data. Better the processor better computations can be performed by it. More threads and cores mean better multitasking(multiprocessing). Higher-generation processors are usually better in terms of performance and pricing.
&lt;|AD|&gt;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How to get Discounts?</li>
</ul>
You can get very good deals during Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale and Amazon&rsquo;s Great Indian Festival Sale.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How much Ram is sufficient?</li>
</ul>
RAM is responsible for storing the programs temporarily in the volatile memory. The higher and faster the RAM, the better the multitasking performance. For an average user I suggest 8 GB of ram is enough.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Do you need a Graphics Card?</li>
</ul>
If you are interested in gaming, video editing, or graphics-intensive software like Blender, Premiere Pro/After-Effects, you will need a good graphic card. Otherwise, graphic cards will not hamper your experience on your machine.
&lt;|AD|&gt;

5 Ways to Save Money as a Student

<h2>What is Django?</h2>
Python-based web framework used for rapid development.
<h2>Installing Django + Setup</h2>
<pre class="language-python"><code>pip install django</code></pre>
<h3>Creating a project</h3>
The below command creates a new project
<pre class="language-python"><code>django-admin startproject projectName</code></pre>
<h3>Starting a server</h3>
The below command starts the development server.
<pre class="language-python"><code>python manage.py runserver</code></pre>
<h2>Django MVT</h2>
Django follows MVT(Model, View, Template) architecture.
<h3>Sample Django Model</h3>
The model represents the schema of the database.
<pre class="language-python"><code>from django.db import models 

class Product(models.Model): //Product is the name of our model 
product_id=models.AutoField</code></pre>
<h3>Sample views.py</h3>
View decides what data gets delivered to the template.
<pre class="language-python"><code>from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
return HttpResponse(''Django CodeWithHarry Cheatsheet'')
</code></pre>
<h3>Sample HTML Template</h3>
A sample .html file that contains HTML, CSS and Javascript.
<pre class="language-python"><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html lang="en"&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;meta charset="UTF-8"&gt;
&lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge"&gt;
&lt;title&gt;CodeWithHarry Cheatsheet&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;This is a sample template file.&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>
<h2>Views in Django</h2>
<h3>Sample Function-Based Views</h3>
A python function that takes a web request and returns a web response.
<pre class="language-python"><code>from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
return HttpResponse(''This is a function based view.')
</code></pre>
<h3>Sample Class-Based Views</h3>
Django's class-based views provide an object-oriented (OO) way of organizing your view code.
<pre class="language-python"><code>from django.views import View

class SimpleClassBasedView(View):
def get(self, request):
... # code to process a GET request</code></pre>
<h2>URLs in Django</h2>
set of URL patterns to be matched against the requested URL.
<h3>Sample urls.py file</h3>
<pre class="language-python"><code>from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', views.index, name='index'),
path('about/', views.about, name='about'),

]</code></pre>
<h2>Forms in Django</h2>
Similar to HTML forms but are created by Django using the form field.
<h3>Sample Django form</h3>
<pre class="language-python"><code>from django import forms

# creating a form
class SampleForm(forms.Form):
Name = forms.CharField()
description = forms.CharField()
</code></pre>
&lt;|AD|&gt;
<h2>Apps in Django</h2>
Apps in Django are like independent modules for different functionalities.
<h3>Creating an app</h3>
<pre class="language-python"><code>python manage.py startapp AppName</code></pre>
<h3>Listing app in the settings.py</h3>
After creating an app, we need to list the app name in INSTALLED_APPS
<pre class="language-python"><code>INSTALLED_APPS = [ 
'django.contrib.admin', 
'django.contrib.auth', 
'django.contrib.contenttypes', 
'django.contrib.sessions', 
'django.contrib.messages', 
'django.contrib.staticfiles', 
'AppName' 
]</code></pre>
<h2>Templates in Django</h2>
Used to handle dynamic HTML files separately.
<h3>Configuring templates in settings.py</h3>
<pre class="language-python"><code>TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': ["templates"],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
# ... some options here ...
},
},
]</code></pre>
<h3>Changing the views.py file</h3>
A view is associated with every template file. This view is responsible for displaying the content from the template.
<pre class="language-python"><code>def index(request):
return render(request, 'index.html') ; #render is used to return the template</code></pre>
<h3>Sample template file</h3>
<pre class="language-python"><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html lang="en"&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;meta charset="UTF-8"&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Template is working&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;This is a sample django template.&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>
<h2>Migrations in Django</h2>
Migrations are Django's way of updating the database schema according to the changes that you make to your models.
<h3>Creating a migration</h3>
The below command is used to make migration but no changes are made to the actual database.
<pre class="language-python"><code>python manage.py makemigrations
</code></pre>
<h3>Applying the migration</h3>
The below command is used to apply the changes to the actual database.
<pre class="language-python"><code>python manage.py migrate</code></pre>
<h2>Admin interface in Django</h2>
Django comes with a ready-to-use admin interface.
<h3>Creating the admin user</h3>
<pre class="language-python"><code>python manage.py createsuperuser</code></pre>
<h2>Page Redirection</h2>
Redirection is used to redirect the user to a specific page of the application on the occurrence of an event.
<h3>Redirect method</h3>
<pre class="language-python"><code>from django.shortcuts import render, redirect

def redirecting(request):
return redirect("https://www.codewithharry.com")
</code></pre>
