You're preparing to install Windows 11 on your 10th-gen CPU and are concerned about stability and bugs. Microsoft regularly addresses issues through updates, but it's wise to stay informed before committing. Consider checking recent patch notes for known problems, and weigh the benefits of a fresh OS against potential risks. If you're comfortable with troubleshooting and have a stable setup, updating might be worth it; otherwise, sticking with your current version could be safer.
Well, even Windows 10 has some issues. Up until now I've been running Windows 11 on my 9900k and 6700k without any problems. The bugs from the beta phase have already been resolved through updates—just install them and they should work fine. The process of fixing these problems is similar to what you'd see in earlier versions. I’d suggest giving it a try, though opinions differ. You could compare your current setup to something like Acronis, allowing you to upgrade and test it out. Once everything functions properly, you can safely remove the backup or restore it if needed.
I no longer rely on it; I’m using Linux now. Even older hardware performed well back then. A suggestion would be to perform a clean installation. Upgrading caused issues with the Windows registry, so I ended up having to reinstall Windows.
Many of us made improvements. I went up from 7 to 10 and had to reinstall just because I rebuilt the system. Everything seems to work eventually, though it doesn’t always happen.
Windows 11 hasn't reached full availability yet. It's still in a limited rollout phase, not yet accessible to everyone—excluding force updates. The enterprise version of Windows 10 also lacks it. Essentially, it remains in a "soft launch" stage. For the most stable and certified builds, Microsoft hasn't released them yet, though improvements are being developed. Expect updates early next year, likely around the end of 2022. The new taskbar features are still missing some functionality, but Microsoft is actively working on fixing them. Insiders can benefit from these enhancements now. We'll see more details once the next Windows 11 version is released.
No problems with bugs or usability issues. The main UI concerns are related to the taskbar and start menu. For the taskbar, a tool called Explorer Patcher offers better control than the changes made in Windows 11: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher. Regarding the start menu, Start11 is recommended; it’s more functional than the default options: https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/
If there is no reason to update, that's the reason not to update Besides some GUI annoyances I have nothing to complain about. The only reason I updated was to check compatibility with some programs. But there are some bugs like the drive-speed-bug that can occure and are not fixed yet (insider build has patches I think), therefore: If you don't have to update -> maybe wait for the next bigger update-wave.
Thank you all very much, I truly appreciate it. Sorry about my English.
