Window 11 upgrade

Just got the message that The upgrade to Win 11 is ready for my PC. Have any of you made the switch from Win 10 yet ?

Nope and haven't been given the option :dunno:

I wonder if it will be a great upgrade :think: or will it be like some of the Win10 updates and break stuff it isn't suppose to :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

If you do upgrade let us know how it goes from your phone :salute:

I haven't received that message either.

If Windows 11 gives me the same problems that W10's updates have, I'll go back to Linux.

I've had 11 on this notebook for several months as part of the early adopter program, and 100% stable.  :salute:

I probably won't bother until when they sunset Windwos 10 or I buy a new laptop. Whatever comes first.

I have a couple old laptops I'm upgrading and bringing out of a couple years of storage and only rare use, and I'm toying around with the idea of running them both on Linux. I really like it on the Pi.

I have not done it yet on my main PC, got the message (lazy).

However, we have had the upgrade on 2 other, new, PCs and it has not caused any issues

I haven't been offered it yet, but I'm a little concerned.  Doesn't MS alternate between good and crappy OS's?

98 was bad, 98SE was good, Win 2000 was bad, XP was good, Win7 was good, 8 was a nightmare, 10 was good....

Kinda like Star Trek movies!

Yeah, noticed the option to upgrade a day or two back.  Glad to hear the folks that have used it haven't had any issues.

I liked Vista better than Win8. 

But that's not saying much....

Looks like I am ready to go down the rabbit hole. I just checked and Windows 11 is ready to install.

Currently at 84% downloaded.

Update, the operation was a success...so far.

Update of an update...I had to look online to figure where my start button went and how to turn off the computer.  :rofl:

Missing Start button aside; everything else running OK?

It's still there - and if you want, you can left-align them all to the left, so it's back in the bottom left corner :-)

Great to hear :like:

My main desktop is running Win10 but that is coming from Win7, it may not run as good on my older system :think:

It is probably time to just upgrade :facepalm: but my current system runs well and does everything I need it to  :D

I hear you. I had to go into bios and enable TPM 2.0 after reading about Window 11 requirements.

I guess I don't see any benefit to the upgrade for me anyway. Just means I'll have to download new drivers and configure to look the way I want it. I use classic shell on my pc because I like how it works like the older Win versions as far as start button and menu.
