Is is worth upgrading to Windows 11 yet?

[NorthernXY]

As the title states, is it worth upgrading to? Running W10 and finally got around to making my PC capable of upgrading to W11 but want to know what you guys think. Read over a year ago that it wasn't but who knows what could have happen since then.

Thanks.

EDIT: Ugh, the second "is" should be "it" in the title.

My experience so far says that Windows follow a predictable pattern: Good (1998), crap (2000), good (XP), crap (Vista), good (win 7), crap (win 8), good (win 10)

I am not sure they would break the pattern now...

Personally I find the onset of this edition to be a perfect opportunity to ditch the windows ecosystem and to only maintain 10 for backwards compatibility, but that's a little extreme and may not be an option. Bottom line is that 11 is not obligatory and its merits are, arguable. It can fulfill certain niches if you really need them, which strike me as having been withheld from 10 so they could sell you a new operating system after calling 10 'the one'.

Thanks, that's what I've read as well.

From what I gather, it's not possible to play battles in the Medieval2 engine on Win11. Are we certains of that? (I don't have Win11 yet, I can't check)

M2TW Definitive Edition, Steam, Win11 Home....vanilla works. Just gave it a quick check, just using quick battle.

Mainly want to upgrade because I haven't been able to fix the volume changing when I change applications. As well as File Explorer crashing if I go too far into sub folders.

[NorthernXY]

What are your guys' thoughts on enabling "Secure Boot"? Should I have it on, which is needed for Windows 11, or does it not really mater. Still waiting to hear good things about W11 before I upgrade, but would like to be in a position where I have the option, where as I currently can't.

[NorthernXY]

Think I may make the switch to 11. The sound problem of switching volumes now is weird. Sometimes it'll change to loud when I bring a new window to the front, then turn down when I switch back to the window responsible for the sound (MusicBee).

[NorthernXY]

Think I may have to try 11. Can't bring the program Lychee to the screen. It's open, I can Windows Button + Tab. See it and select it, but it never comes onto the screen.

I'm intending to upgrade Soon™ on one device to break it in and test its capabilities/quirks/ability to debloat. No clue on any issues for it yet though.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Dismounted Feudal Knight again.

Upgraded, nothing amazing. "Apply template to all subfolders" still does the opposite of what it's suppose to do.

EDIT: I imagine an empty, dark room, full of computers with their screens on, the the door slightly open, a janitor mopping the floors outside just shaking his head at 2 am. That is what Windows is to me. Poor Scruffy.

You can buy windows 11 Pro for like 5 bucks from a reseller. its OEM but it worked for me lolllllll. Just make sure you download windows 11 from microsofts official website. but the cd key is legit.

Also, I LOVE windows 11. made my switch from windows 7 and its a such a massive difference. kind of reminds me of my ipad pro

Thanks, that's what I was thinking about doing, as I had W10 Pro. Do you have link you could send me for the W11 Pro OEM? Been under so much stress for the last few months, I can't think anymore.

Thanks, anything I should notice about upgrading to W11 Pro?

Can't +Rep you.

EDIT: Think I did it wrong. Bought OEM W11 Pro, but can't figure out how to upgrade my W11 to Pro.
