Are you on the insiders programme, or developers?
Just wondering how you managed to get the windows 11 update offered?
Don't have a 'spare' PC to try it on if I could, sadly at the mo.
(always use a non important pc for these sort of things, so if it all goes wrong ( as it sometimes does with Microsoft!!) haven't 'lost' anything vital!!)
Interested more than anything else, basically. (ie, nosy!)
Thanks for the reply. I joined the insiders on Sunday last just to try out the Windows 11 beta, same day after that I just reverted to the old Windows10 again.
Just using the one PC at the moment. I used to be in the insiders a few years ago but dropped out, so I know how to revert back again after trying something out. It was fairly quick to revert back.
A very brave person indeed who does an in-situ Windows upgrade of a beta version and then reverts back again! The final version of W11 appears to be due out tomorrow if all the publicity is to be believed!
Have not tested it out myself and have no kit which would be capable of running the final version. Have looked at the many reviews of it though and none seemed overly enthusiastic about it.
I think Windows has had its day now along with MS Office. So many borked regular updates for both rolled out so often and with so little quality control. Will probably start looking at alternatives to W11 for my own setup when that time eventually comes.

Windows 10 will be updated to 2025, so you don't have to take Windows 11. Microsoft are trying to build in obsolescence to the Windows Platforms to keep the cash rolling in.

After using Windows since PCs first started I gave up on it 2 yeas ago and moved to a Mac. Best thing I ever did, Windows is so top heavy nowadays. I always thought OS/2 was far better than Windows, they both came from the same base product, but unfortunately it was not developed any further.
