Captain Bill 392 Posted October 5, 2021 Just install it looks good A little note Some issues fixed in 11 but other things that worked in 10 is gone. Give it a 50% passing grade. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin 2536 Posted October 5, 2021 I waited a long time before taking the W10 upgrade. When MS announced the free upgrade would be ending soon I took it. By then there had been a lot of beta done and a lot of bugs worked out. I was late taking the W8 upgrade too. So, yeah, I'll probably do the same this time. Heck, I'm just getting used to 10 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splitinfinitive 198 Posted October 6, 2021 I'm still using Windows 7 on my PC, I have 10 on my laptop. I'm an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" man so will probably hold off until I buy a new device. (PC is overdue for relacement but I cannot find someone to build what I want). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(PC is overdue for relacement but I cannot find someone to build what I want). it's a big problem to upgrade PCs at the moment due to the shortages of graphics cards the only available graphic cards are at high end of the scale ... buying mid to budget cards is impossible as none are available 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maya 297 Posted February 23 (edited) When they are talking about a Win12 already, when people even haven't tried Win 11, I think I stay with what I've got I heard some years back after 10 they would stop. Now 12? What a joke Edited February 23 by Maya 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maya 297 Posted February 23 (edited) It was posted at republicworld some days back. I guess that is what rickkings was talking about. Not for me thanks. I think they admit 11 is a fiasco, and they now start with 12 in March this year according a German site. "reports also mention that Windows12 will utilise the advancement Microsoft made in the direction of making Windows10X. However the authenticity of its sources is not known yet " Edited February 23 by Maya 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merlin 2536 Posted February 23 Oops! I already "upgraded" to W11. I'm not having any problems so far (touch wood) but I don't understand what you're talking about watermarks on systems using workarounds. Can you explain that a little for me? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Briefly, there are some ways to get around some of the system requirements, but now they wanna put a watermark somewhere on the screen to point out that you are using 11 on a substandard(according to them) system. 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
