Upgrade to Windows 11
- Thread starter Olivia
- Start date
It is entirely optional, 11 is very similar to 10. It is an operating system and has nothing to do with being gaming specific and should run all the programs / apps that 10 does. You can try it and if you don't like it either restore an image or roll back, just like you would on 10 with an unsuitable update

As a gamer myself, Windows 11 has nothing to do with "gaming". And yes, I'm running Windows 11 Pro on supported hardware.
If your machine supports Windows 11, and you want to experience a new OS, upgrade. If your machine does not support Windows 11, you could simply stay with 10 until you have the specs for Windows 11.
You could also take a chance and run it on your unsupported hardware (whether Insiders or RTM), but then, that's taking a chance, and you should have the skills needed to resolve any issues that may arise.
But, no, upgrading to Windows 11 is more than "gaming"
Good luck.

You can pretty much do both, if you want.
I think the easiest way, is to just make a full OS image backup of Windows 10.
Then... upgrade to Windows 11, play around with it. Stay with it if desired, or just restore your Windows 10 backup.
As others have said... it won't affect gaming, one way or the other.
And... Windows 10 will be supported till 2025.

Macrium Reflect, AOMEI Backupper and Hasleo Backup Suite - GUIDES
How to use backup software... 1. When everything is working perfectly... make a full Windows backup. 2. Then, if something breaks... restore from the latest backup. 3. Then... try "whatever you were doing" a different way. If it still breaks Windows, then... go to step #2. 4. Repeat...

Macrium Notes:
1. A full OS image backup will be approx. 1/2 the size of the total "used space" on the C:\ drive.
2. Backing up takes about 75 seconds for every 20GB of "used space" on the C:\ drive.

Thank you all for your replies! I read somewhere that mostly gamers upgrade to version 11, and I thought it was more suitable for gaming in some way. But now I realized that I must have misunderstood something.

Olivia: Read the various forums on this site and decide if Windows 11 is right for you. I've been running Windows since version 1.0 and (at least to me), this is the first version which offers no compelling reason to upgrade unless you want Windows to look more like an iMac or Chromebook. I've never hesitated to upgrade to the latest release of Windows (still running just fine on Windows 10) but I'll be waiting for an "a-ha" moment when Microsoft makes Windows 11 a "better" OS.
One thing you'll find is that people are installing third party software to make Windows 11 look more like Windows 10.

Welcome to Eleven Forum.
Microsoft claim that Windows 11 is a better OS for gaming than Windows 10. That's not quite the same thing as saying it's just for gamers

- UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.
I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.
Info for 2021-2026:
fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.
