is it worth it? No, not at this point. Could you do it? Of course, but why would you want it?
|
It's definately worth it. Been running it since it got available through dev channel and haven't regretted making the transition.
Especially since the UI have gotten a good overhaul. Sitting with an UW monitor I enjoy the tweaking of the UI! And haven't run into any system breaking issues for me, other than desktop manager suddenly get sluggish, but a reboot fixes that. Happens every other day (my system runs 24/7), so not a big problem. |
When officially released I will load it up, Looks like that day is Oct 5th, I am always looking for punishment.:bleh:
|
I'm waiting for official release. Happy to wait.
|
Did you have to do a clean install? I'm actually curious to try it out on my rig.

Had my first real issue today. Task bar crashed and would not display. Reboots didn't help.
Had to do a system restore back to a few days ago. [edit] I'm in the beta channel now. Switching from dev channel may have triggered the issue. |

I am perfectly happy though using win11 as my main OS, despite some taskbar missing feature annoyance, until last night happened... Quote:
The official fix was to run an elevated command to remove a certain registry entry. Everyone on beta and dev could have got the update yesterday, but some time zones weren't affected :nuts: It wasn't using time.windows.com though as some people posited, cus I run NTP on my firewall so don't use Windows to sync time, myself. Check the windows11 subreddit for a lot of happy posts. Windows 11 is definitely ready to go live a month from now. :runaway: :runaway: :runaway: |
Well I grabbed the preview ISO and installed it over Windows 10 on my main system. The upgrade was smooth, all my apps and settings ported over without a hitch. I take that back, only 1 hitch - it didn't like Start10 (Stardock's Start menu replacement). Honestly I forgot I had that. Don't need it, so I uninstalled it. I actually kinda like the new Start menu.
Nvidia also released a Win11 driver today, so games are running great. I'm not a huge fan of the changes to the Windows 11 Settings menus, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. |

Anyone know what happens if you drop out of the preview dev channel before windows 11 is released? Just curious at this point, explorer crashed on boot up this morning and I would drop and go to a normal stable release if that is what would happen, if back to windows 10 though I would avoid it.

I was wondering more of what would happen if I drop out altogether? Would it try to put windows 10 back on?

And it's out for Insiders in the Technical Preview channel
Final release build: ![]() Just installed and everything is running smoothly. |
so 194 is final?
|
So I checked if I can leave the dev channel and no dice, only way to leave now is by a full reinstall. Bleh, I thought you could easily move about this chit, I guess not. I guess I stay here until I have some major problem. Updated to the current release after just installing a few days ago and had an install failure on first attempt, second attempt worked so all was good, last build wasnt all that smooth for me. had terrible mouse lag until everything loaded and some taskbar crashes. Lets see how this one goes.:o

There are still quite a few bugs to be ironed out. Even blatant ones like some of the Windows Update Advanced Options crashing when you select them. But Windows is never truly finished. It's "good enough" for the general public now, and bug fixes will be a regular thing just like with Win 10.
|
Yep, latest build in the Dev channel is no different, everything has to load before the mouse lag stops, maybe I will try hibernate to get around it.
Edit: So having everything already loaded works for this but I have never been that fond of hibernate, we will see, in my years using it, it either turns itself on by itself or fails to properly load at times. we will see, I have a chit load of stuff loading at startup but it never seemed to bother windows 10. Its always the same with a new OS though, takes months to get it all right. Works fine once everything is up. |
Does anyone know if the following is implemented in Win 11?
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/direc...rearrangement/ |
And Windows Hello broke today, it just does not work with my Logitech Brio. It was working fine after upgrade some days ago, but now refuses to work again. :bleh:
|
The Dev build on my system I cant pull the calendar or notifies up when I want, Its funny because a half hour later it will all of a sudden start working and pop up and stay working for a while and then fail again like now.
|
Anybody ever been in the Dev channel? Is it normal they just put out new builds every 3 to 5 days and dont use normal updates? I was expecting maybe a build every few months and they would just use updates, this reloading windows every few days to get those updates is ridiculous. Probably will have to do a reload when 11 comes out if that's the case, Should have waited I guess.
|
Anyone try this tool to bypass the hw check requirements?

Honestly, Win 11 isn't worth jumping through hoops to get and install. If your hardware is supported, by all means upgrade. If not...stick with Win 10. You're not missing much.
|
I have 6 computers at home, only 3 support Windows 11. On the other 3 I will deploy Windows 11 after it's officially out, have an old Surface Pro 3 for testing :D
My main desktop runs Windows 11 smoothly, the Hello issue is solved, somehow... |
Just installed on the Lenovo laptop. No issues so far.
|
Installed a few weeks ago and all is well. No BSOD's or anything like that. Seems very stable. Games play fine so not complaining.

Beware VBS.. Virtualization. Can hurt game framer ate by 28% |
Quote:
"And if you're upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 then you don't have to worry about VBS being enabled, unless you were already running an enterprise version of the older OS, that is. The issue comes if you're receiving a machine which has had an OEM build of Windows 11 installed on it." |

I’m still holding off for a while. I don’t expect issues due to acroig’s success with it (same exact laptops) but I don’t want to be an early adopter this time around.
|
I figured out how to permanently disable VBS, but honestly I'm not seeing any difference in fps in games.
