I’d wait.

Win 95 was buggy but 95b was better
Win 98 was buggy but Second Edition was better
Win XP was buggy but Service Pack 2 was better

Another reason I’m happy to stay With Windows 7 and turned off the automatic updates. Did that after they tried to force Windows 10 on me without my permission. Yes, I also have firewalls and anti-virus programs aplenty.

My current Windows pc looks like Windows 7 with the start button, traditional desktop and no apps. Will we be able to do this with Win11?

Microsoft executives need to be charged with fraud for lying about Win10 being the “last OS”.

MS PC Health Check app is only for win 10 systems. I am sticking with win 7. But no longer can find my install disc. So when the lay top fails to work. Will then be forced to up date to the latest window release.

Microsoft encouraging people to throw away very good computers. Windows 10 is crappy enough. Every time they do major updates then it slows down. They can keep windows 11.

The last forced update of windows 10 wiped out the OS and I have spent nearly two weeks recovering. I have been running the business on my Windows 7 machine since, which has been rock solid. If it wasn’t for needed software I would still use Win7, I still have hardware running XP. I think I will wait a while for windows 11 if their “support” includes wiping out their OS.

Why on Earth would anyone rush into installing this?

My older Gateway desktop began to blue screen after a win 10 update a few months ago. I spent hours looking for file system corruption and possible driver issues with no success. Ended up wiping my hard drive and reinstalling Win 10, which didn’t resolve the issue. Decided to dump Windows and migrate to Ubuntu, which is running well. I installed Virtual Box, and within it Win 10. No more blue screens with Win 10.

Linux is not as user friendly as Windows, but at least it works. I was able to install Nordvpn and an app that automatically backs up files that have been modified or newly created (was using both with Windows). I used Linux with my last job, so making the transition was fairly easy for me. It isn’t nearly as important to have AV software on a Linux machine, as viruses designed for Linux are rare, but I will eventually install something for that purpose.

Problems similar to the ones I experienced are likely going to become more common with older machines. I will only purchase new hardware as a last resort.

I use on old desktop. I get updates. Everything works fine. Why do I need any upgrades?

I can’t even get Windows 10 to boot up in less than 5 minutes. Why the hell would I waste my time on win 11?

Not. At. Gunpoint.
