*** Microsoft Windows 11 Thoughts & Discussion Thread ***

Is anyone using it as a daily driver and did an in-place update from 10? If so had any problem with programs/software?

Upgraded over Windows 10 on my XPS13 (2019 model). Only issue I had was no sound to start with, reinstalling the drivers fixed that and it's been faultless otherwise.

I am, I run an emby server on this machine too so took a risk! and I did an update from 10, it took ages but it worked faultlessly, no major issues at all, just a couple of small bugs which they are squashing really quickly with updates.

Sort of, I use it on my gaming boot drive, had only minor issues. Not ready yet to install on my work boot drive.

Ta, probably give it a go on my laptop :)
 
Ah right, yeah never used them. Most used apps will be pinned to taskbar anything else find it quicker to hit windows key and start typing the name of the program. :)

Maybe they will return in a future build!
 
Do you get the option to use the original start menu?

I use quick launch with all my shortcuts down there and now with this being centered its not going to work too well.
 
I was going to move mine left when I first installed but quickly got used to it centred, actually think I prefer it now. Start menu is much better as well, once you trim the guff.
 
How do you find gaming on 11, about the same as 10?

Cant say I have noticed any issues, other than I had some hard resets in the early days, all seems to have stopped now. Have mostly been playing Apex Legends, Cyberpunk, a few hours Guild Wars 2 on a whim this morning and tiny bit of Path of Exile. I have not done any actual benching and obviously its only a small set of games so far, so others may have had problems. :)
 
As of late Windows 11 seems a bit more unstable, random crashes with no evidence of said crash in event log. Performance on FS2020 has took a nosedive. Not sure why.
 
Maybe because it's prebeta? :P I tried it and it feels like a beta windows 10 with a new ui duct taped on at the moment. I am sure when it's done it'll be better than win10 but not at the moment and not good as a daily driver either yet.
 
Was bored so installed it on my work boot as well. :cry: Went mental with Nvidia card, event log errors, black screens, had to get into safe more DDU, then reinstall latest nvidia driver. Seems ok now....
