Upgrade from Windows Update version 10 to 11
Upgrade from Windows Update version 10 to 11
Hello everyone, I'm thinking about switching from Windows 10 to 11. My system is a 5950x with an RTX 3090, and I recall there were performance problems with Ryzen 5000 models back then due to scheduling issues. Is this still a concern? Are there any significant advantages or other factors I should consider before making the change? Thanks for your advice.
Right now it seems like personal choice matters a lot. Windows 11 still has some issues Microsoft is fixing, though there are many online discussions about them. I use a 5900X and a 3080, and I haven’t noticed any performance changes on the new version. If you prefer the modern design of Windows 11—something I chose when upgrading—feel free to switch over. Just make sure to update your BIOS and turn on TPM beforehand, unless you’re already set up. The built-in updater didn’t cooperate even after enabling TPM, so I had to download the update file from Microsoft directly.
It appears the problems are resolved. Make sure your board has the newest UEFI/BIOS installed after setup. Update the latest chipset drivers. Along the way, keep all additional drivers current—printer, mouse, keyboard, audio, GPU, etc. If you upgrade, allow 10 days to revert if you don’t remove the “windows.old” folder. This approach works best with an untweaked, fully updated system (including Store apps and Windows components), clean from malware or viruses, and without using any registry cleaner before installing Windows 10.
