@Very-Rusty saidI think support for Win10 ends this year, so no it is not too early.
Is it too early to start with windows 11??? Or should I even bother with it. Got some bad reviews in the last thread.

If you are not happy with Microsoft products however you can consider to change to ubuntu

@Very-Rusty said8.5 million Windows machines crashed last Friday. Linux and Macs didn’t. W11 won’t be any better. Nuf said.

@Very-Rusty saidIf your machine is quite old, Windows 11 probably can't be installed anyway - so if you really want to stick with Windows, it might be time for new hardware, unfortunately. (Which will at least will come preinstalled with Win 11)

Once you get used to it,she says it is fine.
I don't really use either machine but just use my chromebook

Mine is home made with parts that can all be replaced or that is what my buddy told me at the time. It was built in 2015 with the best and newest parts at that time.
I don't know if parts would have to be upgraded or not. Unfortunately my buddy passed in 2015 shortly after he finished building my computer.

Thanks,

In Windows 10, if you go to Windows Update (in Settings), it should tell you if your machine is capable of running Win 11.

I will do that, do you think all the bugs are out of windows 11 at this point. I am really in no rush as they will not stop the updates until around the end of the year or beginning of 2025 so I hear.

@Very-Rusty saidYes. Better the bugs people already know about, than a raft of new ones which don’t yet have workarounds.
@moonbus,
So you are saying stick with windows 10 I assume.

@moonbus saidThanks my chess friend, I was leaning in that direction. Just seeing what others opinions were is all. 🙂

@Very-Rusty saidWindows ‘updates’ never improve functionality; they merely patch security vulnerabilities (and open up new ones). A new release, i.e. 11, inevitably has functional bugs to work out before they even get to the security patches.

Never change a running system ! The only reason to change is when it no longer runs. The fact that Microsoft claims it will no longer support 10 does not mean that it will stop functioning the day support stops.

@moonbus saidThank you and I understand that as I had windows 98 long after it stopped with the updates on it. I kept it so long because I got so use to using it. I've had windows XP Pro and I've found the best windows up to date to be windows 10 which I took along time to shifting over to. I guess eventually I will have to go to Windows 11 but want to make sure a lot of the bugs will be out of it. I know patches will always be required.
