I totally agree. I started using MX Linux and then went to Linux Mint. Been on it for years. No more Windows headaches.
My PC is compatible but for windows update it does NOT appear, just says my PC is compatible..I downloaded the windows 11 assistant which seems to be the best way to install it but I havent done it yet
Why on Earth would anyone rush into installing this thing? Just wait a few months until it’s stable
Did you perform a PC doc test to make sure your laptop is compatible..did you turn ON TPM support(Secure boot) in your BIOS
This will sound sarcastic, but I’m being serious. Try restarting it before doing the upgrade. Then do the upgrade only when you’ve got a long time to spare (i.e. when you Bama beat the Aggies on TV this Saturday, start the upgrade on your laptop at the beginning of the game).
I put it on last night…Win 11 runs fine so far. No issues installing it or getting it going. After the last re-boot it came up like My previous login. Not much has changed that I can see. A few cosmetic differences but things pretty much were where I left them.
The computer in question is an HP that’s about 1 year old and is nothing but a web surfing device so there is nothing to lose if it crashes
Who would want to??????
Virus software upgrade. 😏
Wait for 12
~~~
Based on history, that might not be a bad idea
Win95 bad
Win98 okay
WinME very bad
WinXP good
WinVista very bad
Win7 good
Win8 disaster
Win10 good (after several patches)
Win11 ???
Check free disk space?
I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10. My machine now thinks I live in Denmark and not the Ozarks.
It also wiped out some great programs on my Win 7.
I’ll wait until they sabotage 10.
I’ve been running Win11 for a few months now and in general I’m pretty happy with it.
It’s got some bugs to be worked out, but less so than most migrations. It really does feel like Windows 10 with a new coat of paint.
The pros: I’ve had zero compatibility issues. Literally everything that worked on 10 works on 11.
The new UI feels more minimalist and less kludgey even though some actions (such as getting to the volume mixer) require technically more mouse clicks.
The cons:
I’m DEEPLY concerned about the TPM requirement. Trusted Platform is all about trading Privacy for Security. It’s not sold that way, but it can (and will) be used that way by law enforcement and big tech to fingerprint your PC regardless of VPN obfuscation, etc. I disable and bypass it without a second thought.
Virtualized Security. If you’re upgrading from Win10 it’s disabled by default. If you’re doing a fresh install it’s enabled by default. It’s a performance hog and has more applicability in a corporate environment. It can be disabled, but if it’s not your PC’s performance WILL take a hit.
I have a few minor UI issues design issues I’m confident will either be tweaked or improved on by third party apps going forward, but in general it feels like a step in the right direction.
Caveat emptor: The biggest promised features are mostly not there yet. DirectStorage isn’t implemented, nor is native Android side-loading.
Never had a problem with my 2012 MBP.
I had Windows 7 which was terrific , then I upgraded to Windows 10 and have regretted it ever since
Anyone NOT able to install Windows 11?

I probably could, but I don’t need all the anti-spyware, malware, Norton crap, etc. I like to keep my iMac clean.
Just finished my 3rd or fourth major upgrade on my 2019 iMac - no problems, never had a crash on either box or iPhone - call AAPL support or make appointment at AAPL store.
You can change your location.
My computer search engine has me living in a city 30 miles away.
I do not bother to correct it.
Just don’t.
There’s always Linux on multiple flavors.
