    I'm on Windows 11, I have noticed some latency issues in WZ though so might switch back to 10 and see if that solves the problem.

    Re: So, who's planing on upgrading to / skipping Win11 and why?

    Initially, I was impatiently waiting for the arrival of Windows 11 but now I have to skip it. The reason is that although my system configurations are impressive, they are unable to meet the requirements of Windows 11. Overall, it is sad. I

    I've upgraded to Win 11 and theres no issues for me, it just feels like a Windows 10 annual update with a new look to some things, nothing major.

    Re: So, who's planing on upgrading to / skipping Win11 and why?

    As with the move from Win7 to Win10, I'm seeing no need to go to Win11 any sooner than absolutely neccesary.

    If it's not too complicated I'll try and do a clean install onto a spare Sandy Bridge or Haswell machine, but from everything I've read the new UI looks like a big step backward for the way I work.

    I'm on 11 and have been for a month or so, nothing untoward to report, other than a re-skin and MS removing the ability for me to move the toolbar all is as was under Windows 10.

    I'm also on 11. Just put together a new machine, And since I upgrade so infrequently (my last PC was 9 years old!), it made sense to go to 11. No problems to report, other than a bit of registry editing to get it working the way I wanted.

    Did you go into regedit? How did you know which entries to edit please, you just know them or is there a source you could link me to?

    The main annoyance for me was the extra step of having to press shift-f10 to get the full context menu. I found this article with a bit of Googling:

    Just used the context menu one, the rest I'm not bothered about, even the taskbar being on the right of my screens not so much of an issue, context menus though, that was annoying.

    Re: So, who's planing on upgrading to / skipping Win11 and why?

    My main rig is not compatible so as it stands at the moment I cannot upgrade. I was looking to build a new rig at the end of the year when AMD release their new platform but who knows what state everything will be in by then. In reality I may get that sorted in 2023.

    My laptop is compatible so I may rebuild that, just not any time soon.

    Given I run Win11 on my main rig, its perfectly usable, however, if you are happy with Windows 10 at the minute and there's nothing that Win11 brings to the table that you need then I'd stick with Win10 until you need to do a reinstall or build a new rig.

    I see it a little diffeent to that. Not much, but a bit.

    Come next build/re-install, it will be a case of :-

    - what reasons do I have to upgrade,
    - what reasons do I have to NOT upgrade, and
    - how does the balance fall between them?

    My reluctance is no secret, and the article I saw a few days ago about MS trying to force ALL users (of home/pro, I don't mean enterprise licences) to have an MS account just re-inforced the "not upgrade" route for me, as did the piece Linus just did about Edge (which was no surprise).

    Nonetheless, I can smell a time coming when the choice is upgrade, or ditch Windows entirely, and I'm not sure it'll wait until W10 goes unsupported (2026, IIRC). They're certainly trying to make it harder but I'm getting less inclined, weekly.

    I can see me shifting even more 'online' uses to Linux, and ending up with the few things that still need Windows running on an air-gapped W10 machine.

    Re: So, who's planing on upgrading to / skipping Win11 and why?

    I moved to Windows a couple of weeks back and amazed by the complete lack of problems.

    Even my ancient Canvas 8 (which lists Windows 98 compatibility) runs OK. After rumours of old 32 bit software not working...

    So I'm happy with it.
