how to update install GCC 11.2 on windows

Question

I want to learn C. I have downloaded mingw from sourceforge.net but after installing it I realised that it installed version 6.3.0 of GCC. as I know the latest version of GCC is 11.2. Does anybody know how to install latest version of GCC, and do I need to uninstall that mingw folder?

I'm on the windows 10

Answer 1

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.
