    It is what i was allowed to buy, by my wife (she is the boss and now wants new curtains), and i already had the 2 trendnet switches, now added a third one for upstairs, and the homeplugs we were using didn't go higher then 500Mbit/s at the most.

    Because the prices of new PC hardware are now getting out of hand i set that desire aside, but now hdd's are also getting very expensive my second desire to get a new NAS (10Gbit lan) with 4 x 8 or 10TB HDD's and maybe 2 nice m2 disks in seems to go down the drain toooo :(

    ps, tomorrow i wil start editing this thread and creating a separate 28020 thread, soon there will be more confusion with upcoming builds.

    I always use W10UI in my tests, but all should work fine..

    This was my test folder:
    Code:
    Windows11.0-KB5074106-x64.cab
    Windows11.0-KB5074107-x64.msu
    W10UI.cmd

    I can not recommend 28000 anymore since it has happened several times that the whole system freezes and I have to use power button on PC to force shutdown. Now I am trying out 25H2. Can really recommend StartAllBack, it makes Windows 11 better and you get a 100 days trial.

    I had 2-3 BSODs on the first patches, but nothing bad so far on 28000.1450, everything working just as expected

    I didn't get actual BSOD but it crashed a couple of times, just started rebooting when i started vmware for instance :D It's on my i7 8700 (11 is even supported on that system).

    Today I installed Windows 11 version 28000.1450 on an old laptop, a Lenovo L440 with 12GB of RAM (Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4000M CPU @ 2.40GHz (2.39 GHz)), and of course, some changes were made to Windows. My aim was just to try it out. And I can say that 28000.1450 works very well. It's incredibly fluid. I wrote this for those who criticize this version. Have a good day and, of course, enjoy your Windows.
