You don’t need Windows 11 unless you’re running the 12th generation Intel processor. It’s not worth being part of the beta testing for an operating system you’ll use regularly. If you plan to use it on a laptop, that’s simpler and more manageable, but your main desktop? Absolutely not.
The answer to your question is clear. Playing on 11 works just fine and has been reliable for a while.
You might not encounter problems, but others could. The bigger issues have likely been resolved already. Most minor concerns are the ones I mentioned as reasons some people might avoid 11. There’s nothing problematic with playing on 11; I’m just pointing out there’s minimal need to upgrade when 10 is sufficient.
My friend has been slowly testing it in a VM. Said it runs pretty OK. But its going to be hit or miss if you have any issues. I do recall an article stating Microsoft was warning of data corruption on Windows 11 with certain hardware, Didnt look to far in because Im still on 10. I know Barnacles has stated that some features feel like they need a good polish. While its a pain just because it costs time. Windows doesn't take too long to install now days. You could always try 11 and see how it goes. If it works then great, if not go back to 10.
In September or October Microsoft typically rolls out an update for Windows 11. As someone with inside knowledge I can tell you this upcoming release brings a refined touch to the operating system. It doesn’t introduce major changes, but adds several enhancements that improve usability and overall performance. I’d suggest going ahead with the upgrade if you’re using it personally. For business environments, it’s best to hold off until the official update arrives. If you need a clean start, consider updating your BIOS/UEFI first, then reinstall Windows 11 to ensure everything runs smoothly and all drivers are current.
