Updating to Windows 11 is now acceptable.
Updating to Windows 11 is now acceptable.
I haven’t found recent details about how the latest Windows 11 update functions. I’m still on Windows 10, which is close to ending its support lifecycle. I’ve seen tips for improving context menus, but I’m unsure if upgrading now makes sense or just waiting until EOL arrives a few weeks later.
You're facing a challenge with Windows 11 stability. Your organization, serving 18,000 clients, has relied on it consistently over two years without major issues.
Yes, I operate two gaming PCs and a server using Windows 11 for over a year. Consider it if you wish; Windows 10 remains viable past EOL too.
I believe the main issue has been seeing people react negatively or encountering bloatware. I haven’t used it for extended periods, so I wasn’t sure if upgrading would be worthwhile beyond security updates. Updating feels risky without knowing exactly what could go wrong.
Unusual software often breaks in unexpected ways. This is Windows 10 with some adjustments, not a fresh operating system. If you want to avoid upgrading, you’ll see the downsides. I’m using it, it doesn’t really matter to me. It’s kind of pointless not to.
I'm running Stock Windows with only unnecessary apps removed and everything is working fine.
Win11 is likely very similar to Win10 with minor UI changes but still includes telemetry and more ads than Win10. The only standout experience for me was using Notepad with many tabs and the improved Snipping Tool. Unless you have an older PC, there’s little value in recommending tools like "WinAero Tweaker" to hide telemetry or ads, or changing Cortana settings. If you prefer a lightweight OS but still need Windows, consider "Tiny 11." For gaming-focused users, "Steam OS" is a good option. There are also other Linux distributions that could suit your needs if you're open to exploring different flavors.
