For those early adopters of the now live Windows 11, a question:
Is it behaving and is Elite OK under the O/S?

Windows 11: how's it going?

Good question OP, I got a pop up yesterday while updating my Win10 asking me to check if my PC was Win11 compatable. Before I do I would like to study the pros and cons so hope your thread creates some discussion. o7

Yes.
Well, there have been - rumours, at least - of bugs already starting to appear. There's an artical here:
Windows 11 Errors, Bugs, and Issues - A Full List
If you're thinking about installing the latest version of Windows 11, it's worth checking the list of known issues in case there will be critical errors. Here is a full list of all the known errors for Windows 11.

Whilst MS are pretty good with compatibility, they're also known for introducing unforeseen issues when their software goes live. My question was to see if there had been any issues yet encountered with ED. If not, I would take the plunge with a view to roll back if necessary.
Clone your drive then try it, no rollback required.Well, there have been - rumours, at least - of bugs already starting to appear. There's an artical here:

Oh Dear - such a short memory. The 2004 (May 2020) Windows 10 update caused no end of compatibility issues on release.
I read something yesterday about a 20 - 25% gaming performance hit due to W11 using something called VBS to sandbox games.
I'll post a link if I can find the article again.
I'm in no hurry to be an MS beta tester - I already do that for FD...

Interesting, but it totally makes sense since W11 is being advertised as "much secure" and performance and security are usually opposing goals.
It looks like it's something that can be turned off, but I'd like to see the fallout before upgrading.
It looks like something that is enabled only on certain machines. Not sure whether it is or not on mine so I'll take a look - although I'm still on Win10 anyway.
Nice to know there's at least one early adopter willing to lead the way!
Upgraded on my laptop today. In case someone is interested if GeforceNOW service works on W11 then yes, played there for an hour now and it worked smoothly as usual.

Having used (and written code for) windoz since it's initial release as a DOS wrapper, I find it amusing that folks playing this temperamental/buggy game are worried about a new OS release being temperamental and/or buggy. Just my warped sense of humor I guess.
Well, i can stop playing EDO any time.
I cannot stop playing my windows in the same manner. I actually need a working and stable windows machine and the builds i used were quite stable (i usually dont update w10 for every feature update - for example i skipped 2004 and updated from 1903 to 20h2)
My PC is primarily for gaming. For more serious stuff, I use my iMac.
Even though my PC is just a gamer, I won't be upgrading windoz just yet. I learned a long time ago to never install a 'dot zero' version of windows. This release may be different, but I'll hold off for a bit (a few months?) to see how the new version is received by the techies, gamers, and general public.
