The operating system is now compatible with touch screen devices. If you own a touch screen laptop—including any Surface model—try resizing folders; success is more likely than trying to scale a 1px border with your finger. Updates are smaller and install faster compared to Windows 10. WSLg appears to be exclusive to Windows 11, though we’ll keep an eye on that. Enhancements include better window snapping, improved touch keyboards, a revamped clipboard panel (Win+V), dynamic refresh rates for mobile support. There are solid reasons to consider Windows 11. Many users hesitate because of potential downtime or troubleshooting challenges. Personally, I use Windows 11 on all devices except my work machine. I enjoy the experience and even have an Insider Dev build running there. However, my work PC remains on Windows 10. I’m comfortable with Windows 11 overall, though it has minor quirks. Still, I’ll wait for OEMs and hardware makers to finalize driver updates before upgrading. They need time to test and fix issues. Most users hold off until the official release, even though Microsoft offers Insider channels and Release Candidates. Since October, we’ve seen AMD CPU problems, multiple UEFI updates from motherboards, and some performance hiccups on certain boards when FTPM was active—issues that appear to be resolved. Most applications now start without problems. Some notable exceptions include VirtualBox, which may crash or show errors under specific conditions. It seems these are mostly addressed. Microsoft is also cautious about General Availability, meaning the full version isn’t ready yet. Essentially, they’re confident enough to begin releasing Windows 10 Enterprise and Education editions, and now have physical media available for purchase.

I'm feeling more uncertain now. I went through an upgrade with a clean install, which honestly shouldn't have been so bad. Microsoft has been around since floppy disks, but it still doesn't feel like the best time yet. I've been talking about it in another thread—saying it would be a DLC they'd fix to patch things up—but the reality is: Android subsystem will be inconsistent, and fun apps are going to be hit-or-miss. Retro filters for photos are cool, but a full photo editor just doesn't add much value. I own a Ryzen 5, and because both Intel and AMD have been pushing users to test their performance before release, it's clear they're still figuring things out. It's not satisfying to hear someone say their CPU is fine when the operating system isn't even optimized for it! -_-
