Hello, I'm currently using windows 10 so I'm here to discuss whether windows 11 is worth a try?
I’d rather wait until Win 11 is more mature
I just upgraded from Windows 10 to 11 on my officially "unsupported" PC - a Dell latitude T7610.
I had to reinstall Windows 10 first to format the drive as GPT and enable UEFI + Secure Boot that I didn't had enabled previously. I have 64GB RAM installed, not sure if it does matter.
Once I added the official MS registry "hack", to bypass the CPU (dual Xeon E5-2667 v2) and TPM (I have only TPM 1.2) checks , I could launch upgrade from the USB made with MS Windows 11 Media Creator.
For now it runs rock solid, it even fixed an issue that I had with system fans spinning too loud for no reason. I think lots of initial growing pains were solved, or at least it looks like that on my Intel platform.
Next thing that I will try is to add an NVME drive to it.
It depends. The TPM promises are just that. Do not ever expect password-less entry. If you like the Start menu in Windows 10, do not upgrade. The Stardock replacement is clearly unacceptable, especially if the Windows 10 style start menu is what you want. Stardock got the Windows 10 requirements wrong when they excluded Edgetile as the dealmaker. That was a Microsoft product at the end. They seem to think that the frame of a tile should be two and a half times the size of the icon image. It cannot be seen well. Stardock also did a lousy job of listening. Finally, the registry hack to make the context menu a single click is a god-awful hack that could easily be a setting is both unacceptable and dangerous. Lastly, delaying a functional taskbar was a giant mistake that I will not forget. Microsoft (and Stardock for that matter) both consider themselves the king rather than the customer. A shame for sure.Hello, I'm currently using windows 10 so I'm here to discuss whether windows 11 is worth a try?
I am wondering why you think StarDock are to blame - they do what they can with what is available. If your car does not have diesel engine, no hack will make it take diesel unless you replace the engine.Microsoft (and Stardock for that matter) both consider themselves the king rather than the customer. A shame for sure.
As opposed to people who ARE running Win 11, with no apparent issues.
The same articles were written about Win 10:
People attribute lots of problems to the fault of the OS or the developer, even if they aren't actually at fault.But I’ve seen tons of negative comments about Windows 11 that are not objective.
they have said they would address this and make it as easy as 10. No idea when... next version update? so November next year? Maybe they hope we forget.Setting a default app for certain files is harder.
Hello!
First of all, I’m not defending Microsoft here.
But I’ve seen tons of negative comments about Windows 11 that are not objective.
On new hardware, Windows 11 works flawlessly!
I’ve downloaded and installed Win11 as soon as it was available, and I’m still on it currently.
Win11 has 3 things that I don’t like:
Besides those annoyances, Win11 is stable & the best looking Microsoft OS (so far).
- They’ve removed the drag & drop into taskbar option.
- The new right-click menu is worse than Win10’s.
- Setting a default app for certain files is harder.
That’s my take on this subject...

Maybe it's a self-fulling prophecy, but for some reason everyone wants "every other Windows" to fail because of Microsoft's supposed checkered history. This is despite that, with the exception of Me, none of these "every other Windows" versions had major technical issues with the OS itself that prevented it from being daily driven. I should know, I daily drove every version of Windows since XP, and most of the time within their launch week (Vista I switched over a few months after its release).Windows 11 a Flop, Survey Claims Less Than 1% Upgraded![]()
