I'm skeptical. I've used Windows since 98 and to me it seems like clockwork that every other version sucks herpes infested ding-dong. Have any of you tried it? I haven't had time to look into but Windows update has been offering it to me for free.
Oh and, I thought M$ said when 10 came out that 10 would be the last and final version of Windows. Uh-huh...

I've read that Windows 11 is like the Windows ME (compared to its predecessor 98/se). Windows ME was terrible though, so it can't be that bad.

I'm using StartAllBack, the successor to StartIsBack, and all is well.  I had two licenses, and it cost me a $1.50 each to update them. Pretty fair, as the developer had to do more work, and has released regular patches alongside Microsoft's continued tweaking of Windows 11. www.startallback.com/ |

So does it do anything better? I haven't had time to look into it yet. I guess I could image my OS drive where it is now and try it but the question is why? Everything works as it should now and why would I want to run into early adopter problems and hassles? Might be better to wait and let everything bug wise sort itself out. Right now Win10 is pretty sock rolid. |

Right now Win10 is pretty sock rolid. It goes to 11, does that count? Security might be better, and it's basically inevitable, so having gotten it done was the biggest incentive for me. I still have an image backup of Ten though, lol, as well as a partition of a SSD that I cloned the OS to, that can be booted into Ten.
But yeah, there were advantages to waiting, as there were some performance bugs. One more is just now getting fixed, the one regarding the speed of indexing disk contents, and search speed.

I've had some serious sound issues in Windows 10 before. There were a few times when my Sound Blaster Z kept getting detected by Windows 10 as a Sound Blaster Recon 3D and it kept updating it to the wrong drivers without asking me anything, which would make my sound stop working. I contacted Creative and Microsoft, but they were both about as helpful as a bag of d***s without a handle.
The only way to fix it was to completely scrub all the drivers, pause Windows updates for a week at a time, restart and install the correct drivers and restart again. Sometimes I would forget to pause the updates after a week and it would install the wrong drivers again, but luckily they fixed it at some point so it doesn't happen anymore.

I upgraded to Windows 11 the other night and I actually like it although there's not quite enough tyranny in it. I like the fact that when you look in the nvidia driver properties or enable the classic start menu in classic shell they all still say Windows 10 so therefor Windows 11 is basically just a new theme for 10. Jeez they where too lazy to even change where everything says Windows 10 to Windows 11, this should be punishable by death lol. And despite reviewers on Youtube saying that Win11 makes things harder to do I have the opposite experience. I like how you can now just click the copy icon to copy something instead of right clicking and selecting copy which is less steps now and pasting is the same, just click the paste icon instead of right clicking and selecting paste.
