I will stay on Win 10 for now. But on VM will install Win 11 and watch phases what is change in OS. For Win 11 OS live install on boot for now my answer be: NO NO NO.
Yes I will eventually, probably sometime in 2022,will wait until more bugs are fixed. Since Win7 I have waited until a few CU's are released.
I'll only upgrade when it becomes stable or reaches RTM. Build 1904x is buggy enough due to 0x801F0005 "An invalid name request was made". I won't upgrade to Windows 11 right now due to being buggier than 1904x.
All these imposed hardware requirements (except UEFI boot and TPM 2.0) are quite artificial. Even if I could disable UEFI and TPM requirements I will still wait. I can buy a TPM 2.0 device, the motherboard on my current desktop has support for that, but forcing me to buy a new processor. motherboard and potentially other hardware is a big NO from me. I actually went from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 and then Windows 10 because Windows 10 seemed to stable and good enough and because I want to have the best support for gaming.
The processor part really is a strange one as it seems to be much more tightly tied to architecture than it is performance. There are approved CPUs that will be miserable to use with Windows 11 and great CPUs that are "...not compatible...". BIOS and microcode updates are supposed to fix actual issues, right? So what's the problem? They aren't even consistent with this as the support list changed and even now there are generations where some CPUs are supported but others aren't.
The CPU restrictions are the most weird. We will have to wait, it is the first time Microsoft is trying to pull such a thing.
Windows 11 has this weird thing where if I get a usb error it notifies me that there was an error in the past at every boot until I go into device manager and uninstall the usb root hubs, then reboot and let it repopulate. I only say this because there are weird annoying quirks, but nothing that breaks anything so far.
This afternoon, when i went to one of the largest elecronics stores in europe, to get me a new mouse, i looked at every displayed windows laptop and not one showed any sign of "windows 11 ready" they run a "shell" showing the specs and all still said "welcome to windows 10" nowhere is windows 11 advertised.
As always, first we get 1000's of posts on how to get it installed and believe me there will be at least that many trying to not get it installed
i have been on 11 for about 3 months now build 21996.1 only bug i have it plays hell on my 3d printer. but i think it maybe the new 3d anet board i got. but as far as the build im running its kinda perfect for what i use it for and it also picks up my usb 3.1 port. oh i forgot to add im running it on a gigabyte Z270MZ GAMING5 64GB RAM 3.4GB CPU 4tb hdd 2tb ssd m.2 6x4TB drives usb drives and 2 RTL-SDR V3 usb sticks oh and the 60" samsung 3d monitor. but HELL WINDOWS 11 KICKS WINDOWS 10 OUT THE DOOR ON ALL 4 SYSTEMS
Yes. I replaced my computer in last month. This credit to my older computer, it was scrapped on Aug 1st. For Windows 11, I will be upgrade soon. : )
I've gotten Windows 10 to reach a nice sweet spot such that works without any real issue at all. It took time for Windows 10 to mature to the point where that was the case though, plus a bunch of tweaks/software to get the workflow I wanted, so Windows 11 will just end up throwing that out of balance with a whole new set of quirks for no real gain. There's too many examples of rushed-through-the-door design that I've seen with UI/system issues that may be fixed in the future, or with people developing workarounds. Better to just give it time to settle. Windows 10 will be supported until 2025 anyway, so that's plenty of time. My system is supported but others in the house are not. The s**tty though is that right now in Windows 10, if you can't upgrade to Windows 11 due to system requirements you'll get an ugly message in the Windows Update screen. Even when you dismiss it, this will stay permanently in the window sidebar: So even if you don't give a s**t about Windows 11 because you can't upgrade, it'll stay there as a reminder that your hardware sucks apparently despite serving its function.
