Is there any evidence that Win 11 is faster than Win 10? Productivity, gaming? It seems "quicker" to start up and open apps and files compared to before the upgrade.

It boots to the desktop much quicker since I did the upgrade from w10. Like... almost instantly!

Just timed it. 14 seconds from cold boot.

Yes, actually been quite astounded at my own desktops response as far as cold boot times. It's quick.

I guess what we are getting at is that if you aren't having specific issue and it's working fine, what exactly is your concern in regard to help? Or (which is totally cool) just sort of wondering about opinion and experience between the two?

I will jump ahead on an assumption. IMO, there is no significant reason to update to W11 from W10 unless faced with the processor scheduling issue. I don't think it's worse or anything, just that for the work to change over thinking there is...

It has appeared so far that the burden of proof shows that it has been and maybe still is actually slower for AMD. On the other side of that coin, unless there has been some change the processor scheduling for 12th gen Intel is not performing optimally if not on W11.

I will jump ahead on an assumption. IMO, there is no significant reason to update to W11 from W10 unless faced with the processor scheduling issue. I don't think it's worse or anything, just that for the work to change over thinking there is some bonus to it, there really isn't. The latest W10 updates have even minimized quite a few of the desktop appearance differences. There are other and immediate things to be noted, but even at that aren't overwhelming in favor or against. I still feel like I know W10 better and still know where to find things in 10, but most of that is alleviated byt he ability to search by what I know the name of the app or utility I want to use is. It's a give and take.

Would I currently spend money to update (notice I don't say upgrade) to W11? No. Since it was free and particularly easy to update on 2 of the 3 machines I use, I don't mind. With that said, my Ryzen system was well more trouble than it was worth at the time, but not worth undoing at this point.

Yeah,I guess I was just wondering if anyone else noticed that it "felt" quicker in its response. I haven't noticed any difference in gaming, but this isn't the machine I game on normally. My Ryzen 5 5600x is the one I was wondering about taking advantage of the update on. but I will heed your (and USARet's advice and stay with W11 for now. Thank you both.

A situation that may vary according to system specifications. If your system is below Microsoft's recommended specs, I wouldn't recommend going. I did not have a stable experience with my computer with i5-10300H + GTX 1650.
