Your system setup is solid but shows signs of needing some improvements. Upgrading to Windows 11 could be worthwhile, especially if you're aiming for smoother performance and better compatibility with modern games. However, your experience with W10 suggests stability is key—check the specs and ensure the upgrade aligns with your needs. Regarding the Media Creation Tool, you can usually upgrade without reinstalling drivers, but a clean install might be safer if you're unsure. Consider testing in a controlled environment first.

Windows 11 needs DirectX12 and a WDDM 2.0 driver. I’m unsure if your GT 1030 meets those requirements. The base version isn’t ideal, but it looks better visually. You have the necessary TPM, enough RAM, and storage—just note it consumes around 64 GB, which could be a significant portion of your drive. Reinstalling drivers with W11 Media might be necessary, but I’m not confident enough to advise without more certainty.

Recent news about W11 indicates it's approaching the broadcast schedule of W10, though it hasn't fully matched it yet. Continue watching W10 unless its updates required a switch.

This specific version of GT1030 is compatible with DX12, so I need to verify my model. I'm confident it does support it.

They suggested upgrading to version 11 via the Windows update, but I didn't proceed with it.

first of all this is a completely new os so yes u should do a clean install. and second this will probably much faster than the "upgrade" method where issues are to be expected. yeah, and?
