Tried Windows 11 yet?

Who has upgraded to Windows 11?

  • I did and love it as my daily driver

  • I did and love it (for light/HTPC use)

  • I did and rolled back within 10 days

  • I did and wish I hadn't, now I'm stuck with it

  • I haven't yet, I'm still thinking about it

  • I'm not going to

  • I did without TPM 2 - no issues yet


Results are only viewable after voting.
I do it differently.
Disable TPM check.
Download Windows 11 ISO.
Double click it after download and it will mount in Windows Explorer.
Start the Setup file in the mounted drive. All your Apps, Games, Files will be kept.
Is there a guide or link you followed for this?

It's just an in-place upgrade
Here's how to disable TPM, link I posted earlier.

You can also do an in-place upgrade with a current install of Windows 10 or Windows 11.
Example: A Windows 10 PC has issues. Download Windows 10 ISO (current ISO) and do an in-place upgrade. This reinstalls Windows 10, while keeping files, apps and data. Same with Windows 11.

In-place works for the same OS, Windows 8, 10 and 11. As well as actually upgrading from 8 to 10, 10 to 11.

Muchos Gracias Amigo. I'm weighing my options to install it on my home pc (Ryzen 2200g) with 11, but it's our everything PC at the moment. Streaming and gaming. I think I'll jump on it one of the weekend and see how it goes.

Just follow the basic usual advice.
Backup the most important data you don't want to lose and then install.
There shouldn't be a reason for you to lose data, but just be safe.
As I said earlier, I've installed it on 2 PCs, both disabled TPM and I've got no issues :)

Actually not worried about losing info, just about stability.
But again much thanks for the help and advise.
 
I just rolled back to W10, not having the time on the second monitor was annoying and if you're going to take it away at least give an option to put it back without installing a third party program. Also the stupid keyboard language selection option was ever present in the system tray even though I looked EVERYWHERE to find where these others were installed, but no luck. Roll back was quick and painless, but then I get a "windows recommends you upgrade to W11" screen.... like were you not just here? At least my HWinfo is working in W10 now, so it wasn't a complete waste.

TLDR, W11 isn't ready yet, still feels like beta with everyone being testers. Boo

Nothing wrong with win11, I do not use two monitors and actually never had a keyboard language issue.

@rinners Regarding the time on both screens, there is hope, the insider build has it built in, so might just be a waiting game
  • When a secondary monitor is connected, your clock and date will now also be displayed on the taskbars of the secondary monitor or monitors for glanceability. [We are beginning to roll this change out, so it isn’t available to all Insiders just yet as we plan to monitor feedback and see how it lands before pushing it out to everyone.]

Thanks, like I said I'll wait until alpha season is over. Was quite happy with W10, I understand where they are going with W11, so I'll try again another time.

Also the login screen font annoyed me. Not sure what about it, but really wasn't wowed.
