Is it less of a memory hog?

The Acer Spin touchscreen I’m thinking of using as a guinea pig only has 4 gigs of ram [impossible to add more] and Win10 already bogs it down while the Alienware with 32gigs of ram still runs fast even with 40 windows open, inlcuding one or more with music playing that I can’t find to close, and running large files in Photoshop.

Don’t wanna use the AW as a test subject, though.

I also have to figure out how to make a reinstall USB stick for the guinea pig Acer in case it goes sideways.

The two machines that I have installed Win11 on both have i7 and 16Gb RAM.

The first is an HP, and the second is a Dell. I have an older HP rp5800 that I will try to install it on the weekend. We’ll see how that goes.

I don’t see any improvement or falloff of performance with 11.

We’ll see over time, but Win10 has been pretty solid so I expect 11 to be as good or better
