Windows 11 worth it?
Windows 11 worth it?
Absolutely, but with reservations. Most users now have more Windows 11 installations than on Windows 8. However, opinions varied—Windows 10 was widely criticized, while Windows 7 was considered the top choice. Once people adapt, they invest effort into adopting new features, and then it can feel like the best version. Though these cases are exceptions, Windows 11 doesn’t quite fit that pattern.
supported CPUs from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm; an SSD drive (essential for OEMs and recommended); CSM disabled; UEFI Secure Boot enabled (preferably set to Windows); TPM activated (dedicated or fTPM/Intel PTT); compatible GPU with WDDM 2.0 drivers; at least 4GB RAM; and a 720p display.
I own a 5600x monitor, an M.2 storage, 32GB RAM, and a 1080p screen. I’m unsure about the remaining components. The 6700 XT was recently installed with updated drivers, which should work well for the GPU side.
It seems your UEFI settings are not properly configured. Verify your BIOS is updated and adjust the specified options. Keep in mind, if CSM was enabled, your UEFI mimics an older BIOS environment, meaning the main drive must be formatted with GPT, not MBR. This mismatch prevents booting because UEFI requires GPT-formatted drives while legacy BIOS only supports MBR. A tutorial is available on converting from MBR to GPT using a Windows built-in tool included in Windows 10.
