Yes, been daily for weeks. Minor issues is all.
I'm using it (in situ upgrade installation) - everything is working fine for me, no issues.
I believe a clean installation will enable BitLocker drive encryption by default, so probably worth being aware of that and ensuring the key is saved in your MS account or elsewhere. As I upgraded in-situ BitLocker is off. I'm not planning on enabling it for the moment as it's my gaming PC. For a laptop you travel with it would be worth considering though.

Daily driving win11, only major annoyance so far is not having task manager when right clicking the task bar. I keep doing it, then I *sigh* and do win+x to task manager (ctrl+shift+esc is not that great of a shortcut ergonomically).
Other than that, no crashes, no issues with any app, no issues with drivers, everything in working order. On a "non supported cpu" (i5 4690k).
Still thinking if I should take the plunge and upgrade my wooden laptop as well (1st gen i7).

Only issue I've had so far is Windows Spotlight (picture on the lock screen) stopped working for a few days. But an update last night seemed to have fixed that again. Says a lot when it's such a minor issue with the new OS. Very pleased overall.
I also had the issue in Windows10, however updated the firmware which seems to have resolved the issue.

Thanks, just tried that and for both devices I get the message to connect them. Maybe they already have the update?

Left is a while not it says bootloader failed to update or similar.
Off the top of my head I can't remember, however I think (and it's very flakey) that it did do the update but then looked like it was asking to do it again so may be that.

I know small taskbar icons isnt native in Windows 11, on a VM I installed W11 and I used the registry hack to do it. But the clock and system tray is all messed up as if half of it is going under the screen. Is there a way to fix this as I dont want normal taskbar icon sizes but I dont want to deal with a half cut off clock and system icons tray either.

A reboot and it shows I was already on the latest firmware. Nice idea though.

2021-11 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5007215)
I have the exact same issue, the registry edit works but messes the clock up, I belive it's because it's on 2 lines rather than 1 ...but any ideas welcome.

Ive looked online and the StartAllBack program can give you small taskbar icons without messing up the clock.
I think I will update to Windows 11 because of that, it has loads of options on it too for customising

Ive updated to Windows 11, got StartAllBack for the small taskbar icons. All seems good, seems snappy.

Is W11 worth it? For gaming
Been using it since release, not had any issues and i like the change of design.
All i do is game pretty much and not noticed any negative effects coming from windows 10.
I tried it on my old laptop. Thus far I've only had one problem. The trackpad is too sensitive with the original driver. There seems no way of adjusting and they've not updated the driver in years. It installed and worked fine otherwise. The trackpad is a showstopper though.
