Windows 11 upgrade - Yay or Nay at the moment?

Draeger · 16 Nov 2021 at 17:03

My main gaming machine is an HP Omen gaming laptop i7-10750H with a 2060 full fat GPU. It's been nagging me for a bit to upgrade to Windows 11. I've read a few reviews of W11 and so far it appears to be a mostly positive reception it has received, but I wondered what folk thought about doing so just now? Has anyone here went to W11 and seen no real issues with their normal gaming activities?

Or would it be prudent to hang fire until the first big W11 patch in a month or two? I'm thinking I might dual boot to try it out for a bit. Thoughts?

Thanks folks, appreciate the replies. For those who have went to W11, have you done an 'in place' upgrade and overwritten your W10 install or did you do a clean install using Rufus or similar? Ta.

Well, I bit the bullet and did an in situ upgrade. All fine, took hardly any time at all to do. Played some Ghost Recon: Breakpoint and Division 2 last night for a couple of hours with zero issues, all running smoothly :cool:

something daft already!! said:
Have to disagree with the above. I have not found anything which does not work the same apart from one program which is getting an update soon. Even that is not a deal breaker as it still works but gives some minor graphical glitches.

Likewise. No issues here thus far, all working fine. Although each individual person - YMMV
