Windows 11 has some minor issues that can be annoying. Sometimes I have to double-click instead of just one. For example, right-clicking requires me to open "show more options," which brings up the Windows 10 interface. There are a few small quirks, but Anthony's video on Windows 11 and for power users helps resolve many of these problems. I appreciate the visual design, though my personal opinion is that it's just a matter of preference. So far, I haven't encountered any major bugs.
If you have worries, then no. Windows 11 isn't fully available yet (according to Microsoft's definitions). That means enterprises don't have it, even if they wish, and you can't purchase physical media or a license. It's still in the early testing phase. For each Windows version, starting from Windows 95 and possibly earlier, there are two release dates: a soft launch followed by a hard one. Microsoft mentioned in October that the goal for general availability might come earlier next year. If you're making money from your system and want to avoid major problems, it's best to wait at least a year before upgrading. Once that time passes, wait another six months as a new Windows 11 version will be released, and then begin several months of thorough testing on a side machine. If everything works out and meets your expectations, you can proceed with the upgrade. That's my recommendation. If you're not worried and want to try features you're interested in: then go ahead and enjoy! You have ten days to revert the change (provided you don't delete the old Windows 10 folder, which is needed for a rollback). After ten days, that folder will be deleted automatically.
Occasionally the PC freezes abruptly without any BSOD. Window scaling behaves erratically, especially on multiple monitors. It didn’t crash once on Windows 10. There are minor issues like missing shortcuts—such as the sound settings in Taskbar that were removed in Windows 11, which seems illogical. No shortcut exists to open Task Manager when right-clicking the taskbar, and Explorer sometimes freezes or crashes after a right-click. These small problems slow things down. If you’re curious about Windows 11 and think it’s impressive, you might enjoy it. But if you prefer learning everything from scratch, sticking with Windows 10 could be better.
