Should I upgrade to Windows 11
Here is my Pc specs first
Cpu: I5 2400
Psu: Fsp Hv Pro 85+ 650 Watts Bronze rated pau
Motherboard: Ecs H61h2-mv
Ram: 8gb ddr3
Storage: 500gb hdd
Graphics card: Currently none due to my gpu being broken


So anyways the question is, should I upgrade to Windows 11 or stick to Windows 10 till 2024?

You're not gonna get any new benefits of going to Win11. It'll just be annoying to switch to it and it might just end up being more demanding.

MS tends to do that, Win 7 good, Win 8 crap, Win 10 good, Win 11 crap.
Hopefully Win 12 will be decent if this pattern is followed.

No one has had real issues with Win11. It's basically the same as 10 but with some improvements.

The biggest hurdle I see is not your cpu but your hdd. In fact, Microsoft is advocating for new machines to have ssd as a boot drive.

You will have a much better experience with an ssd, believe me. If you upgrade your drive first, then it's simply a matter of finding the right tutorial to get around the requirements for tpm and supported cpu and board. If you don't like it, simply go back to 10.

I would not place so much anticipation on Windows 12 myself unless you support a lot of embedded AI. That's the direction Windows is going in.

Windows 11- have not had very many technical issues at all myself. And I run the beta Insiders which is inherently more risky (at times) than the releases.

not guarantee that pattern is success maybe wins 12 are probably more crappy than 11?
dont judge by this time now

isn't windows 11 just reskin of windows 10?
It contains more tracking.
more restrictions.
Some settings are harder to find.
There is more advertisement.
but essentially Windows 11 could indeed have been a feature update to 10. It's more or less the same on the core.

But... they did do things to make people grab it, for example:
they increased the Direct X version number, so that now games get locked to Windows 11 only.
They also replaced Paint with a more modern Paint tool, so that you can.... draw I guess, with a mouse. xd (Unless you're an artist you likely don't have a draw pad)
They made the calculator look... different at least (idk if it is nicer)
They made WSL faster. (and hope people take windows 11 over linux that way)
(WSL is a compatibility layer for Linux applications; kinda like what WINE and Proton try to do for Windows applications on Linux.)
(But.. WINE has no enormous funding and team behind it... so idk what microsoft is trying with that.)

(WSL could very well backfire and cause people to hop onto linux now that they know how linux apps work xd)

Windows 11 also has an Android App compatibility layer, allowing you to run Fate Grand Order on your system without a phone.

but of course, the system uses Edge (and thus Chrome) everywhere, so uhm, ...
and does stuff without you knowing up front (and without asking permission)
including immediately sending data to Valve for whatever reason, and you didn't install Steam yet.

But yeah--

What is also odd is that a lot of the base code for windows 11 is a version upgrade of what was on Windows Xp.
So essentially, it also has base code of Windows 7 and as others have claimed, could have just as easily been an update as such, but like...

One reason why the release a Product people have to buy a large sum for is to make it seem like it 'relatively' took a lot of effort to get there. It is also to 'renew' the reputation of the product.
If they release windows 11 as a feature update, then it is a Hit or Miss situation.
and the reputational damage to windows 10 would be hard to recover from.
On the other hand, if Windows 10 has a bad reputation, Windows 11 could be fixing that.

That is the reason why 8.1 became a separate release instead of an update. (windows 8 had too much damage, no one wanted to buy it.)

Also by releasing it as a separate product, they can force a specific registry configuration and settings to people without issues.

Anyway, they're not that interested in people buying the OS and assume most buy a laptop which they know will work optimally with the OS preinstalled from an OEM partner; that is their primary goal with the OS they release usually.


Edit: @Anyone who wants to install Windows 11 (or 10)
Windows doesn't come with drivers up front (except stock drivers which do a minimum task). These are disabled during install (usually)

This means that your system might get very hot (and may get mechanical damage due to the heat as such) during installation. Make sure you cool the system properly. (your fans will not be controlled by the installation environment, and the UEFI bios steps in very late).
Laptops will be cooking hot, as such.
The installation could shorten the lifespan of your device if you don't cool it properly.

You can turn off a lot of tracking. Because I upgraded from 10 to 11 just today it was already turned off.

Do you have examples of these restrictions? Is it something that might affect the average?
I know cheaters have complained because after seeing the Wiggle video about cheating in Tarkov you could see cheaters complain about Win10 and Win11 making it harder for them.

Settings being hard to find is most likely them just moving them. Annoying but not a big deal. Usually you just need to be in there a few times a year. You can always search the control panel too.

I don't see any advertisement. All though TikTok was installed but I promptly uninstalled it right away. I could remove widgets, search bar and extra stuff in the start menu.

There is a new DX version? Google tells me it MIGHT show up this year.

Paint was upgraded in Win10 buuuut it's still just Paint. The 3D Paint was on Win10 too. Both are still basic tools for bare minimum stuff.
The Calculator just got a slight reskin from the Win10 version. Nothing new there.

Linux will never overtake Windows. If Microsoft uses something from Linux it's because that feature is just better. Don't expect the average user to know that a feature was from Linux. They might just think it's a Windows feature if anything.

I don't have Chrome installed because I decline it every single time any program asks. Edge hasn't bothered me about using it because I use Vivaldi. I know my Outlook trying to advertise Edge but I just laughs at it and move on.

As for them being used everywhere? Like Windows Explorer? If so it doesn't bother me because the Window Explorer works as it should.

Also where does it send the data to Valve? I'd love to know what it sends to them before I would even get an account.
It sounds a bit odd to be honest.

Win10 doesn't have a bad rep though. Majority have moved to it and most of them will just move to 11 when they got the hardware.

Win8.1 is a laugh because it's the one version I bought and I believe the start menu was the whole change for it.
They had to rebrand it in hopes to get people to switch.

This I call bs on though.

Fan control is done on the motherboard level in the Bios. Bios that Windows don't alter.
There is also this where when you plugin your fan to a Fan control port it'll power up the fan the moment you start the PC.

The same goes for an AIO water cooler. It'll power the pump, RGB and fans if they are properly connected.

The only thing that might not do this is the graphic card. But there are graphics card that don't keep their fans spinning 24/7 and only start them up when the heat goes up. Personally I don't like that so I use MSI Afterburner to keep them on.

My brother had a bit of issues when he switched his motherboard because it couldn't find the boot drive at all.
So no Windows was detected but the fans started to spin right away upon powering up the PC.
After some fiddling around in Bios he managed to fix it. Oh and even the Graphic card fans where spinning.

Not the point. It comes with it.
The point of my post was to tell what Microsoft Windows 11 offers over Microsoft Windows 10. So you have these Microsoft Greed Enabled surplus extra features that lets Microsoft earn slightly more money at the cost of your electricity usage and privacy, that you can indeed disable, but the OS does come with them.

Older software fails to work properly on the newer system. In essence this creates a restriction most people will deal with when upgrading.
Other restrictions are, HOSTS file not able to block every address, Edge being unremovable (unless you do a really hard modding job with the OS), System requirements (unable to use the OS without the TPM 2 chip enabled), unless you bypass that (which disables other features), ... like restrictions are relative.

Not really... xd Windows 11 has a couple of new features, and moved some old features in other places inside the maze.

but yeah they created a control panel, a settings app panel, a management console, a administrative tools window, a... folder that, if you give it the right name gives you settings you'd otherwise wouldn't find.

I probably shouldn't mention the mess that is PowerShell and the commandline interface. There is some stuff moved from the commandline and some stuff added to... powershell indirectly (because of course it needs to be made harder for a normal user to get that specific info using powershell scripts that they first need basic knowledge of.)

Its used in a lot of laptops.
Notice how I said "laptops". They don't have AIO WaterCooling. They also do not have RGB Lightning on their 'case'

Most people don't use a desktop nowadays. Also notice how I said "might", some desktops maybe affected as well. Nonsense it is not.
The Installation environment doesn't have access to the chipset's information. You also need to be a bit more on heads with UEFI, or simply watch youtubers who try install Windows 11 on their laptop while being amazed at how they cannot touch the keyboard.

Also note: just because they spin doesn't mean they keep up with the temperature rise. (spin faster when needed)

So that it can alter settings from within Windows, instead of needing to rely on a user to enter the BIOS.
Microsoft Windows can, and will... change your BIOS. The boot priority is a perfect example. When you install Windows, you no longer get to choose which disk is priority 1
also Secure Boot is immediately enabled.
These are BIOS settings.

That is not a "restriction" that is just older software not working on a newer OS. It happens every single time.
Edge will not be used if you switch to another standard browser. I get that you hate it with every inch of your body, but this is ridiculous. If it's not being used you don't need it nuked of the harddrive.
It's also just a standard internet browser. I use it at work and there isn't anything that is bad with it. Just that it miss features. But Chrome for me misses features too and I hear a lot of people loving it. They are basically the same.

Labconfig? Googling about it and I find out it's where you turn off safety features and so that you can install Win11 on your PC while ignoring the hardware limits. That is not something the average user is gonna do. The utter majority are not gonna care about this.

Messing around in the registry is also something the vast majority do not do. You generally will never need to be in there other once in a blue moon.
Most people will never touch the registry.

It has nothing to do with liking Microsoft. It's that it works every single time. There is no hassle getting something to work.
On Linux I've seen LinusTechTips do their videos on it when they try out the OS and trying to get their stuff to work.
Problems show up far too often and some even wiping all of the information on the PC.
Linux got a long way to go before it'll ever compete with Windows. That is a fact and even with SteamDeck being real popular it won't change much the moment those users try to use Linux for their daily drive.

Apple is the same thing. Games generally do not work on Apple OS. So I would not be using that either. Also it costs an arm and a leg to own those stuff.

Editing the actual Bios takes a bit more.
If I want to update my Bios I would need to restart my PC and do the bios update through the bios menu. Some motherboard programs have so you can run a file but you still need to restart.

Boot priority is most likely based on which slot you slot in the harddrives into or SSD into. I had my OS drive plugged into slot 1 and it picked that.
I can change the boot order too if I want.

That link btw did not mention "fans" in any way.
So I still wouldn't say Windows deal with fan control speeds or even touches them. Even on Laptops.


So most of the things you brought up doesn't really affect users. The few stuff that did makes it no difference from Win10. Trying to scare monger people with Laptops that it can cook your system.
