Since there are a lot of modules missing and Qt5 and Qt6 are mostly source compatible (when using Qt 5.15) I don't see a reason to use Qt6 for a new project now.

Is that a lot of modules missing/not yet implemented in Qt 6??

Thanks, got it. I see all the "base" stuff, it's the add-ons yet to come. For my part I see it won't be till 6.2 that we get WebEngine, and (although I don't use it) MultiMedia. I think the OP, @Simmania, should look at the lists before he launches into Qt 6, in case he's expecting something which isn't there yet. -
I do not see modules in the lists of 6.1 and 6.2 that I need now. So I still think I should go for Qt6 to be ready for the future. But I do not know how!
If I run the Maintenancetool, it says I need to update version 5 first. But how do I update? I do not see any update tool or any updat menu item. -

@Charby said in Like to start with Qt6:
@Simmania Using an up to date maintenance tool : log in, select "add or remove components" (not "update components") for selecting the Qt versions you want to install side by side.
Can you post menu sequence ?
menu->next menu -> next menu -> etc.Thanks

Step 0 : ensure maintenance tool is up to date
- Launch maintenance tool
- ["Welcome to Qt Maintenance Tool"] Fill in your account credentials and press Next
- ["Setup - Qt"] Select "Update components" and press Next - if everything is up to date, it will be written "No updates available", close maintenance tool and proceed with Step 1 in this case.
- ["Select Components"] if maintenance tool is outdated, it will be listed here
- ["Ready to Update Packages"] press "Update" and wait until installation ends
- ["Completing the Qt Wizard"] press "Finish" and redo Step 0
Step 1 : install Qt6
- Launch maintenance tool
- ["Welcome to Qt Maintenance Tool"] Fill in your account credentials and press Next
- ["Setup - Qt"] Select "Add or remove components" and press Next
- ["Select Components"] , from "Select Categories", ensure "Latest releases" is checked. Unfold "Qt" component group. You should see Qt 6.0.0 in this list, check it. Press Next
- ["Ready to Update Packages"] press "Update" and wait until installation ends
- ["Completing the Qt Wizard"] press "Finish"
