Upgrade to W11
« on: November 26, 2021, 03:09:19 PM »
Any got experience or ideas on this?  Not in a rush here.  Just curious on what I don’t know about it.  Thanks!

There'a a new GUI and that's about the biggest difference. The hardware it requires should be quite fresh, less than five years old or so.

If you aren't a computer specialist I'd suggest you to wait for the teething problems to be solved.  Win10 will be supported for another four years so there's no rush.

If you have your Start Menu customized in Windows 10 just the way you like it, you may not like Windows 11.
They completely nurfed that in 11.
I installed it on my laptop and tried it for about 5 days.  That was more than enough for me to roll back to Windows 10. (they only give you 10 days to roll back to Windows 10)
I'd wait until they can iron out some of the issues before installing.

This pretty much sums up my experience and how much I've been enjoying Windows 11 on my Surface Pro 7 tablet.

I upgraded to 11 on my less than 1 year old build machine. No issues at all. There is really nothing to push you to upgrade. No jaw dropping new items that are a "must have". If your Win 10 is working fine and you are comfortable on it.... it will be supported for quite some time still. If you want to check it out, you can upgrade and you have 10 days where you can go back to 10 if you are not happy with the results. As Bizman said... your machine should probably be a fresh, less than 5 year old machine.
