New 7700x model - compatible with Windows 10 or 11
I’ve done some thorough research on the reasons and consequences but I’m still interested in hearing your thoughts on this. Upgrading to a 7700x this weekend. My main concern is whether I can use my 10 key for installation on 11 or if I need to buy a new key. I’ve read that the “free” upgrade has expired, yet some sources say older keys still work on 11 installs. If I have to pay for 11, I might just install 10 and wait until 2025. But if I can use my 10 key, I’m thinking about moving to 11. Mostly the machine is used for work and gaming; I also connect it to my environment for work, so it’s mainly for casual web browsing and gaming. I’ve heard that 11 offers better utilization of e/p cores and multi-core support, but others say the performance gain is minimal.
