Consider your needs and the benefits of upgrading before deciding.
I'm still figuring things out. My new build is ready for Windows 11, but I'm holding off because of my "don't fix what's already broken" attitude. I remember they raised the price after it was free, and I have a 12th-gen Intel processor. I've been told 11 should handle the newer cores better, but I'm not sure if that's true. Should I just downgrade like Anakin cutting off Dooku's head or go with Nike? Am I really worried about anything? Haha, lol.
I have a W11 at home and a W10 at work. I’m not a tech expert, but I didn’t see anything unusual with version 11, so I chose that setup for my home build. I’m using a Ryzen 5600x, so I can’t check how Intel will handle it, but I don’t think it would cause any problems.
I'm discussing the reasons behind upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11. It's worth noting that Windows 10 stayed free for a long time, and you can still use older activation keys to enable Windows 10 and 11. After a couple of years, some restrictions applied once the free upgrade promise ended, though it still functioned. I've seen friends using Windows 10 and 11 on newer hardware without issues. One friend upgraded to Windows 11 for troubleshooting but didn't see any benefits. While Windows 11 is better suited for different hardware, the performance gap is minimal. The decision really depends on your preference for the new interface. If you enjoy the updated look and are okay with potential account issues, consider upgrading. However, if the new UI feels like a step back, stick with Windows 10. Since you already have one installed, changing it might be unnecessary unless you want to avoid any potential problems.
Works well for me. No problems encountered so far. Photoshop felt strange on my first launch, but I believe it was mainly an issue from Adobe.
In September or October, Microsoft typically rolls out an update for Windows 11. It usually adds only minor tweaks and fixes, focusing on usability and stability. Overall, it enhances the user experience. Since the release is so near, I’m planning to wait. The update would make the OS feel more unified and introduce new features—those quality-of-life enhancements—that set it apart from Windows 10, especially with the refreshed appearance.
