YES, I did an I am happy with it, way better than 8 or 10 and you can upgrade for free. It took me 10 hours to complete.

It took that long for me.
What I did is I bought a new computer on sale which had Windows 10, because I found out that I could upgrade to 11 for free. Saved 50% buy not buying a Windows 11 computer and doing the upgrade myself at no cost.
I have been using Windows since 2007, Windows 11 is by far the best version they have put out to date, IMO.
Cheers

Option 1 don’t upgrade, win 10 goes dead in 2025 you keep using it offline for safety. Option 2 upgrade and compute away. Personally I am opting for 1. I have a very nice iPad that I like a hell of a lot better. Also tried Win11 and found absolutely nothing I liked. The only way I would go Win11 is if they don’t issue a perpetual license for 10 and it goes dead. Even then I have better options.

I haven't installed Windows 11 yet, but did a search on reviews ("professional") recently and bottom line is Windows 11 gets an overwhelming two thumbs up. I was a bit surprised at that, because usually a Windows O/S release gets trashed initially, then people sober up (Vista the exception). Not this time. Windows 11 was greeted warmly out of the gate. MS released the first "annual" update September 20, version 22H2, which I would expect fixes any significant problems. So ya, I would go for it. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...ory-ec4229c3-9c5f-4e75-9d6d-9025ab70fcceYou want to make sure any necessary drivers are available for existing peripherals (printers) so you aren't surprised you have to buy a new device. Which you can do, just should know about it going in. Personally, I would do a "clean install", but that's your call.

Personally, I would do a "clean install", but that's your call. Thats an excellent point SupFoo! They took 11 back to the earlier versions of Printer Compatibility Drivers. When I upgraded to Windows to 8 my Cannon Image Class 4450 became inoperable! With 11 it works perfectly and was that ever a huge pain in the ---! And is one of the reasons why I went for 11. I did the install from a brand new 10 version computer. If I owned a 10 I would take it back to factory then install 11 from there. Cheers ~

I've been sick of Windows for far too long. The next computer is getting Linux. I'm tired of all the bullshiit spyware, data tracking, and garbage programs that come with any MS or iProduct.

Window 11 checked my computer and the CPU, memory, and video card were not upgradeable to Windows 11. Some day maybe I will buy a new computer.

New laptops running 11 start @239.00 😳 Linux Mint. Thank Rocky when you can. If Rocky sees this he will be well complimented. I put Mint on a removable drive and ran it on a newer machine and had no issues as before. Seems to be a good OS with my limited experience with it. But I refuse to bow to the Linux god just yet. 😁

Didn’t Rocky gift you a laptop with Linux?

They fail to realize that 99% of people that own a home computer, just want to turn it on and have it work like turning on a TV, without getting into Minutia.
