Windows 11
 
How are we all feeling about Windows 11? Right now, I'm not feeling very strongly about it, and will likely not use it.

FlameChrome September 21st, 2021 5:12 AM

You cant please everybody, i think Microsoft should offer a built in theme of windows 10 for those who wish to go back but use windows 11 i guess.
However personally im enjoying windows 11 and i like the design changes.

My gripe about it is the strict requirements

but you can blame Spectre and Meltdown for that one

are they planning on making computers built in with windows 11? I did hear many computers aren't even compatible to update to windows 11 at this point in time

not that i plan on getting a windows 11 computer until it's like absolutely required (windows 10 support ending) but still

My laptop isn't compatible with it, and Asus is working on a BIOS update so my desktop can support Windows 11, but I hope it releases soon so I can actually get it, otherwise the desktop I JUST PUT TOGETHER won't be compatible with it (I'm using a 6th gen processor). I really am not a fan of the strict requirements myself, and I really am not liking that I might already have to look at upgrading my computer.

I did try it on my laptop though before they locked down the TPM and processor requirements and it's definitely nice. My laptop struggled with it, but I think that's a result of the aging hard drive since the subsequent revert to Windows 10 is still running fairly slow.

Currently using a chromebook and don't have much of a need to switch

I never download anything and the fast browsing is too convenient.

The requirement is far demanding than windows 10, I mean I have all is needed for the upgrade but I rather just stick by and avoid another upgrade-downgrade problem.

Megan September 21st, 2021 9:13 PM

I remember trying out Windows 10 on my laptop years ago. It was very sluggish and was one of the main factors for switching off of Windows altogether. I still use my laptop but it's now so old that it probably doesn't even fit the requirements, anyway. It also doesn't have UEFI which seems to be a requirement these days, as well.

At work I actually don't know. I assume we'll need to try out the new OS just to make sure our software still works fine on Windows 11. So I'll probably not get around having to use it at some point.

I have no idea if my computer can even run Windows 11 and I'm not really in a rush to find out.

Maybe corporate will update our work computers to Windows 11 and I'll check it out then, but to be honest, I'm quite happy (well, as happy as I can be with Windows) right now.

Huh. I haven't even heard of it :V what's different?

You...haven't heard of Windows 11?

Well, the interface is different. It looks a little like this:

moon September 23rd, 2021 9:08 PM

hm. maybe they try to adapt it to wide screens more, what with the centering and further split screen options etc.

Prelawpikachu September 26th, 2021 9:16 AM

update: the first pre-loaded windows 11 surface laptops -REVEALED!!
Surface Laptop Studio-Bye, Surface Book
Surface Pro 8-More than a better CPU
Surface Duo 2-Z Flip Imposter
Surface Go 3-Just a CPU Buff

Tsutarja September 26th, 2021 10:09 AM

I've thought about putting Windows 11 on my laptop, as that has a TPM 2.0 chip on it. I haven't really thought about bypassing the requirements to get it onto my desktop, though.

i just said the 1st ones are revealed

Windows 11 is just another spyware OS from Microsoft, I think it'll spy on the user even more than Windows 10 because Microsoft has declared that starting January 1, 2023, all NEW laptops running on Windows 11 will need to have a front-facing camera.

You quoted a post that was older than the one you made stating that. Please try to be a little nicer in that regard :)

I'm not saying I agree with Microsoft's decision, but it's moot. 99% 100% of modern laptops already come with webcams on them. Should they disallow computers from disabling the webcam driver, then I'll have a problem with that.

sorry i can kinda be like that sometimes, maybe i ate too much dry ribs earlier
but do any of the new machines look tasteful?
almost as tasteful as those dry ribs

Hermione Granger September 26th, 2021 6:06 PM

I highly doubt my laptop I just got just recently will work with windows 11, guess eventually I'll have a laptop with it in some years when an affordable budget one is released.

Edit: My laptop is eligible for the upgrade, just checked lol.

Most computers from at least 2018 and beyond will work with Windows 11. It's mainly older models that won't due to the strict CPU generation requirements as well as the TPM requirements.

FlameChrome September 27th, 2021 1:46 PM

oh yeah the hardware requirements are a bit much, luckily my cpu or whatever has access to fTPM so it got passed the TPM 2.0 requirement. However for people who dont it is concerning along with the very limited supported cpus. (now its probably expanded since i last checked, idr when) I feel it should really me maybe 5th gen intel or newer (or maybe start at 6th gen, but anything older than 5th gen your playing with fire on windows anyways it feels like) and for amd, from first ryzen or newer (includes all the athlon too they make for the ultra budget). Thats me though if yall got different ideas who it should be say it, im curious wut yall think

I tested it on my laptop that has a 5th gen and besides slightly sluggish performance due to an aging hard drive, I didn't really have any problems with it (Until I was booted out since it's an unsupported processor and it doesn't have a TPM). I hate these strict requirements so much. I hope my desktop doesn't suffer the same fate.

tigertron September 28th, 2021 12:04 PM

I just checked the system requirements and fortunately I can run W11, but I'll probably wait for the big service pack update before making a decision on whether to get rid of W10, since I'm happy with it.

colours November 6th, 2021 2:39 PM

i can technically run W11, but like.. i keep asking myself if i should. i'm too worried things are going to go south and break. aesthetically i feel like i'm going to love it, but i'm still... very unsure.
