how to update install GCC 11.2 on windows

Install MinGW-w64 gcc (for either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows) via MSYS2's package manager (pacman), or get a standalone build from https://winlibs.com which requires no installation - just unzip (can coexist alongside other MinGW versions).

If you're new to programming in C, I recommend using an IDE, like Code::Blocks for example.

Why is the latest MinGW gcc version 6.3.0

The MinGW project seems to have stayed behind somewhat on development.

But in the meantime the MinGW-w64 project, which is a fork of the original MinGW, has been actively developed recently. It supports both Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit.

I recommend switching to MinGW-w64 entirely.

The latest GCC compiler built against the latest MinGW-w64 can be downloaded from https://winlibs.com/ as a standalone package.

If you use MSYS2 shell you can also install MinGW-w64 via its package manager pacman.

MinGW - Update GCC version 3.4.5 to version 4.4

I've personally just dropped the new compiler files in, and it works like a charm (I've done it with 4.3.0 to be exact), although I can't guarantee that this is a should-do solution.

I'm talking of course about files that can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ under GCC Version 4.

Where to get the latest GCC version for Windows

I recommend using MinGW-w64 over MinGW as it is more up to date and supports both 32 and 64 bit Windows.

If you use MSYS2 shell you can install MinGW-w64 using pacman.

There is also a standalone build of MinGW-w64 GCC available from http://winlibs.com/ that requires no installation. Just extract the download and use it.

If you're a beginner you should use an IDE, like Code::Blocks or Visual Studio Code.
