Windows 11

[yansee]

asked for advice few years ago updating windows 8 to 10 and was advised not to , just got windows message to update 10 to 11 , is it worth doing or are the same problems there ?

W10 to W11 is no where near as traumatic as W7 to W8 but I'd still not bother for the time being.

if your computer is more than three years old it probably won't be compatible for win 11! mine isn't

Did you purchase the new laptop that you said you were going to get in 2020? If so you have nothing to fear. My only concern would be what is the storage capacity of the new laptop. W11 is a top class operating system but in my experience it performs beter( particularly during upgrades etc.) if you have plenty of spare capacity on the hard drive. Do you know what the hard drive capacity is on the lappie? ie 128gb is going to require very pared back file storage and ap. installations from you. I would hesitate if you do not have at least a 256gb hard drive and still hesitate if you have already got 100gb taken up in storage for pictures and files etc. Microsoft will let you upgrade to W11( and I would) because they can hopefully sell you cloud support for hard pressed hard drives.

I installed 11 when it came out and its been rock solid and never a problem. Its quicker too.

Thank you all , I'll leave it for now as 10 is fine for my requirements
