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

Thought I would take the opportunity of a new nVME OS drive to complete clean install and jump to trying windows 11. It seems OK so far. What a faff though trying to sort out changing HDD's to GPT in order to meet the requirements though. I can see it causing a lot of issues for average joe bloggs.
Click to expand...

To be fair GPT has been supported since Windows 7. It's been a requirement for OEM prebuilt machines since Windows 8...

People building machines as MBR and legacy BIOS had it coming!
 
Yup - agreed, but I think in my case it stemmed from initially building the machine using an SSD and hard drive I already had had for a while to get it up and running, which had been MBR and the legacy bios just followed from there.

All sorted now though.
 
one thing ive noticed is even though its windows 11 it has my windows 10 task bar all got all my game shortcuts from 10 .cant even adjust the taskbar what have you done microsoft.
 
This TPM requirement...I read on Forbes that it's possible to bypass this with an ISO file and the media creation tool; can anyone confirm?

I have a 4690K machine that I'd like to try on Win 11 on before rolling it out to the rest of the machines in my house.
 
Yeah you'll be able to install it on unsupported systems that way. But... they may not give you any updates, basically people are going to be forced to buy new hardware one way or another.

The best plan atm is to use Windows 10 until 2025.

You might want to install Linux on that old system to see if that works for you instead.
 
Wacking the latest beta build on my main PC as I type.

I mainly want to see if it's fixed windows moving themselves around when my PC goes to sleep on my displayport screen.
 
Installed and up and running. Every working smoothly so far.

I like the window snap feature when you hover over the maximise button!

I had a Windows 11 update available as soon as it booted back up by the way ^.
 
i hopes its not because i just updated from windows 10 didnt do the boot of usb could be annoyed dissconecting drives.
 
had this problem with windows 10 installing. just having one drive is better is it not when installing a operating system.
