I suppose it depends which build you are on.Just downloaded Window 11 , so far all working well . So when the launch is next week will i have to re-install again full version ? or just download updates

Hey all,
So what's the best way to get onboard now? Wanting to do a clean install over the weekend as have a busy week lined up next week
Cheers
I'm just slightly annoyed at the CPU artificial lockout. Bypassing it is easy though but it poses the question about whether MS could at any point restrict Windows Updates to bypassed systems if WU detects that your CPU is in the list of "unsupported" chips or if the lockout is only at the OS upgrade/install level. Remains to be seen but I think when that time comes my mobo and CPU will have long been upgraded by then anyway.
Wait until the 5th.
I'm wondering how far are MS willing to go if so many people install it on unsupported hardware. One day we might all wake up and the news headline states something about millions of computers unbootable on windows 11.
The average user won't know any difference, and surely all future hardware going forward will be future proof/tmp enabled?
Welp, pc froze out of nowhere while gaming, after reboot I'm greeted with a black screen, no chance to login to windows. numlock turns off, mouse turns off, nothing I can do.
Tried boot repair, says it found a problem and can't fix, tried chkdsk in safe mode, nothing found. Can't unninstall windows updates (it simply ignores the option). Don't have a image to recover, so... I'll clean install w11 now. if it gives me more problems I'll go back to w10 and wait a few more weeks/months to let microsoft fix stuff.
Can't even install at this point.thats sounds like a nightmare..

I always have stuff stored in another disk, + could backup anything else during safe mode. So at this point I can format no problem.Good job there isn't any important data on there...

I just hope this is a windows issue and not a hardware one.
update: managed to install no problem, even managed to "login" using pin. Then it showed up the usual "we're doing the finishing touches" message, a bit later blank screen + no response. Rebooting nets me blank screen + no mouse or numlock.
I give up, will go back to w10. Again, just hope it's not a hardware issue.
update2: welp, same thing with windows 10. installed just fine, first thing I did was install windows updates, but soon blank screen. Rebooting doesn't even reach the login screen.
I have no idea what is going on.
update3: computer boots normally to w10, already installed many things while windows update was downloading stuff, then it froze. Rebooted, logged in, installed 1 thin at a time. Computer freezes everytime I try to install gpu. Welp.
At least it wasn't due to w11.
Been here working on the computer since last post. it has been 6 hours.I looked at your previous posts knew it nothing to do with Windows 10 and 11, it definitely hardware issue.
Saw your spec, try download older Radeon GPU driver to see if it stopped blank screens. If it still have freeze and blank screens then try install Windows Basic Display driver, if that not help then try disabled Radeon GPU in device manager and enable onboard Intel GPU in UEFI and download, install Intel HD Graphics 4600 GPU driver from device manager to see if it stop freeze and blank screens. If both Radeon and Intel GPU still has freeze and blank screens then it could be down to old PSU failing due to age.
Is a total wipe of W11 on the 5th going to be totally necessary? Can I get away with a upgrade from W10 Pro as I dont have much in the way of "clutter" on my current OS drive, and just some games on my secondary..
