I probably will too, even though it needs a lot of work at this point.

Purty? Not to me, it ain't! It's way too light and faded out. I'm pretty sure there's a way to make it darker, but I haven't found it yet.

Hi Wynona :) Dark Mode rules!

And I'm leaning towards keeping it.

Sure it has some foibles, but there's a few things I like. I like the redesigned settings app and the killer for me is winget.

Still looking, still reading. Not sure yet. Sometimes it takes awhile for me to take the plunge. Got the message a week or so ago that the update was ready. Almost did it then, then backed off. Windows 10 has always worked really well for me so I'm not sure I want to go through the change. Yet.

Just be sure that you have a few reliable images before you do it.
I think that is very GOOD advice.

Hi,
I'm sure 10 and 11 will coexist on at least three of my machines z490-x299-x99
No reason to limit os options 11 is less bloated that is a good thing.

I just installed it two days ago. So far, so good. I like change and will be keeping it. Don't know about my (2) incompatible computers yet,

True. My test machine (SystemTwo) dual boots Windows 10 and exactly the same install upgraded to 11. The Windows 11 system has a significantly smaller footprint.

Defo keeping it on all machines, it is working so well on them all especially after a few tweaks have come out which changed the things I didn't like. Thumbs up from me

I'm going to keep it and likely stay in the beta channel when I get my new PC going tomorrow. I will first install 10 so I can get it set up and then I'll migrate over to 11..

Hi,
Yep found a good deal on 5 pack win-11 pro key for less than 50.us to so no need to use up 10 license either

Running great on my X299 with all my games, I`m keeping it.

You should just do a clean install.

I might do that after I verify the parts all work and the drivers are all good to go. OH and I have the proper BIOS settings in place. then I can do that.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi,
Upgrades have been working good.

That's another option.. Most likely I'll go the upgrade rout rather than installing everything again.

wordsworth · Oct 27, 2021

I expect I'll keep Win 11 on the Comet Lake system; the Sky Lake system depends upon what Microsoft does with regular and feature updates going forward, but Win 11 stays on it for now.

I went this way a couple of weeks ago and have not had any issues. 11 is running great as far as I am concerned. Will be keeping it for sure.

@BunnyJ Good plan Jeff, that's what I did, set mine up exactly how I wanted it on 10 then upgraded to 11 and left the insiders when I Stable public builds. I may put the other pc back into the program as a beta

Loaded Both Beta and Dev when they were made available first time in Insider Program. Now, running Released 11 on first SSD and continue using Dev on second SSD. So far using the Dev version more than the released Win 11 version.
