Windows 11
Who has downloaded Windows 11 and are they happy ?
What problems or glitches did you experience if any ? Oz |
We were required to get it at work. No problems so far.

I moved two of my computers to Windows 11 last fall, even though they fail the compatibility test. There are several videos out there that show how to do it. Not hard at all. I have had no problems with either unit. W11 seems to run just as fast as W10. Both computers are at least 7 years old.

From what has been posted about Windows 11 my computer appears to be compliant (3 yrs old)
Microsoft continually notifies me that I am ready to upgrade , what they are offering is last years model , I want this years (haha) Oz |
Take the free download from microsoft, you might have to turn off a couple of things if you have a 2/3 year old computer.
As mentioned,there are good presentations on the web going into detail on what needs done. In my situation I have a few laptops and desktop that came with windows 98 that I upgraded to XP, then Win 7 then to win 10, by pirating vista drivers, they said I couldn't do that but they work fine for what I want to do with them, (no gaming/videos) The solid state inexpensive hard drives now available are a good improvement. All that said, I have a new dell laptop purchased in January with win 11 installed. Not a lot of changes in 11, compared to win 10. My old dinosaurs will just go offline come next year but I will continue to use then for the few programs installed on them. Microsoft does have an extended support subscription for 1 year for Win 10 home users, cost $30 for critical security updates , no bug fixes or tech support. My computer knowledge is but a grain of sand on the earth's surface.:BangPC: |
My personal computer was still running 7 Until December of Last year. But Once Trend-Micro Security would not protect it anymore, I bought a new computer with Windows 11 PRO.
Now I manage a worldwide IT support company, I have about 160 employees Under me Now. We did a Lot Of Upgrades for our clients. Some of our clients do a Lot of Video editing and they Had to Upgrade from 10 PRO to 11 PRO rather than do a clean install to keep some of the Older video codecs, which will only work In 11 if You have upgraded from 10. If you do a clean install, You Have to Go Pay to get the codecs and the one company has a lot of employees, so They didn't want to spend the Money on that per computer. So far, No big complaints By our customers who upgraded or did a clean install which seems to be the First we have seen No issues with upgrading. A Lot of Issues Upgrading from 8 to 10. But Not 10 to 11:ThumbsUp: |
Microsoft have put out a check programme that can be run to see if computer will run W11
It is call WindowsPCHealthCheckSetup.msi Ran it and it says I am good to go Thank you very much for the advice given Regards Oz |
