Safest place to download Windows 11 for an upgrade?

My PC meets the requirements but Windows Update still isn't offering 11. I'd rather not grab an installer from some random site. Where's the official download, and will upgrading that way keep my files and apps?

Only from Microsoft. Search for the Download Windows 11 page on microsoft.com, there are three options on it. The Installation Assistant is the simplest for an in-place upgrade on a PC that already qualifies. Your files and apps stay put as long as you run it from inside Windows. If you go the ISO route instead, mount it, run setup, and make sure the screen near the end says Keep personal files and apps before you click Install. Back up anything important beforehand anyway.
