Ever since I installed new parts in my PC it's been threatening to upgrade to windows 11. All I can do to hold it off at this point is to pause updates for a week at a time—which is fine, honestly. I would just rather wait until 11 has reached a more stable, decently-performing release before I switch.
I ALSO WOULD HAVE LIKE TO HAVE OPTED INTO THAT WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT OH WELL.
TBF Win11 has gotten stable enough to use as a daily driver. You can probably just get away with doing the upgrade procedure, but like most other OSes it's best to just do the clean install.
The trouble is that I would have to download the upgrade first to do a fresh install - I am sure as hell not gonna buy it again LMAO
Upgrade in place? Upgrade… Then upgrade again; it'll clean install the OS but keep all your files, settings, and programs.
Also, Group Policy is your friend. You can disable automatic restart at the very least for updates, so you'll be able to catch if 11 is in the pipeline.
Being said, my HP came with 11, and it's rather stable honestly. Granted. i use a Mac as my daily, but it's not really had any issue I've thrown at it, such as VR gaming.
But I also know 11 had some weird issues with older hardware, especially AMD? So your mileage may vary.
Okay that makes sense. I've already got my group policy set up accordingly so I'm not worried about a force-restart, but all this and what others have said has convinced me that I shouldn't be as afraid of 11 as I have been
Windows 11 was really only incidentally bad and only at launch due to faulty drivers on older hardware? But that should mostly be sorted now.
There's still one or two design beefs people have with it, but it's fairly stable.
See I've heard this exact piece of feedback on every windows OS since 7 and have run into mystery BSOD-causing issues that make a lot of those same people who say it go "huh, never happened for me" so please understand when I take this with a small grain of salt, but still take it!
Okay that's fair. That's actually why I use Mac as my daily and not Windows. — Random BSODs and other issues rare enough to make a Microsoft technician blush, yet somehow always happening to me.
Realistically it's going to be hardware dependent. Most BSODs are driver induced, and likewise newer operating systems are more likely to struggle the older the hardware is, with rare exceptions.
If you're really concerned I'd do research on the specific hardware of your machine in relation to Windows 11 — GPU, CPU model, generation; input devices, output devices, sound card, etc. — to see if anything seems to be problematic. E.G AMD CPUs briefly had performance issues at launch of Windows 11 due to a bug.
I've had luck using ThisisWin11 and OpenTweaks to trim down a lot of the junk that comes with Windows 11 if you're concerned about that.
Windows 11 will a also activate with a Windows 7 or higher key, even on a fresh install, so no need to buy it again.
Still annoying to just turn on your computer one day and just be like "Oh, I have to set everything up again now..."
If you could link one or both of those things you listed that'd be rad, but thank u for making me aware!
Here's the Github link: https://github.com/builtbybel/ThisIsWin11
I think OpenTweaks is a subproject of theirs? Either way ThisIsWin11 installs it for you.
You may want to look at the changes ThisIsWin11 suggests too before running it and uncheck what you don't want it to do. Most changes are sensible but there are some "preference" things like changing the taskbar behaviors or installing other software to do adblocking that I usually leave unchecked or do myself another way, along with things like installing Windows Subsystem for Linux (A really cool feature, but you may not need it).
