Yes. I'm a laptop user so my most recent one came with it. It wasn't a big deal; sure I did some tweaking but that was the same with 10. Just traded a few minor annoyances with 10 to some other ones with 11. --- Music: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv4cNOBY2eCInbxg6B-KRks6vKMfmFvtp Genshin Showcase: https://enka.network/u/608173646/ ...

My upgrade from 10 to 11 as really easy. I'm also enjoying Win 11 much more than 10 but the telemetry still gets under my skin. I'm proficient in using linux, but I can't get away with a full migration, I'd have to dual boot at best. --- So I was standing still at a stationary store... ... Copied to Clipboard!

When upgrading directly from Windows 10 they didnt ask for a Windows account at all. I was preparing by memorizing the command to create a local account on Windows 11 setup but it was not necessary. --- Cause the best is yet to come ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've never actually accepted any Windows version update because I believe every single one has been worse than the last going back 20+ years.

I'm talking about added features, menu design, functionality, programs, and the total package. Every single iteration, I go "I don't want this. I never wanted this. Nothing about this justifies the existence of this." If they'd just kept Windows XP and continued to support it it would be vastly superior to what we have now. All things being equal, given the choice, I would easily prefer Windows 10 over Windows 11. All things being equal, given the choice, I would easily prefer Windows 8 over Windows 10. All things being equal, given the choice, I would easily prefer Windows 7 over Windows 8. All things being equal, given the choice, I would easily prefer Windows Vista over Windows 7. All things being equal, given the choice, I would easily prefer Windows XP over Windows Vista. Hell, I would take Windows ME over most of the post-XP versions. Literally the ONLY reason I've ever "upgraded" is because I am effectively forced to. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard!

I can't answer the poll. I'm clinging onto Win7 until it's pried from my cold dead hands. I only use it for web browsing and running my old version of Photoshop (I'll never switch to their subscription model). And I don't care about not being able to play games because literally anything I care about playing is available on Switch/PS5. I'm just not willing to put up with all the invasive crap from Win11.

Yea, came with the laptop I got about a year ago. It's fine. I still use 10 on my work computer because our company discovered as they were migrating people to 11 that builds run INCREDIBLY slow for our system.

I was using Windows 7 until the very end of 2023. I'd first installed it on that machine in 2009. The only reason I upgraded was because Steam was going to stop working Jan 1st, 2024. I went with 11 because I knew that 10's days were numbered, so I might as well go with the latest so I can put off upgrading again as long as possible. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. ...

Damn_Underscore posted... What does this really mean though? "System requirements" for an OS don't mean much since Windows 7 (mostly just support for 64-bit multi-core processors, which I believe might have even been patched into Windows XP). In fact, the system requirements for Windows 10 are actually less then what was required to run Windows 7/8. But no one wants to have people realize that computers that were made 20 years ago are just as if not better performant than what you can buy brand new today, so they force people to upgrade by inventing useless technology like TPM. Same with graphics cards and "Ray Tracing". --- I feel like I need to put something here, or else I am one of those weird people who think that having no signature is a character trait. ...
