No need to wait. Join Win11 Insiders and load up 26100.1591 (24H2, Release Preview--my favorite) right now. Today. And It's free. And the performance gains are there, already.
 
Happily installed the Cumulative Update Preview on my Windows 11 Pro 23H2 PC, already did my backup early Tuesday morning as i sorta predicted in my mind a Cumulative Preview update would be released today.

Will try out Forza Horizon 5 tomorrow, and other games

Running an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB

Did this build fail for anyone else? Couldn't download and install or stuck at 0% download? Cumulative update preview KB5041487?

DL and installed just fine for me.
(waiting on the restart due to being 2/3 the way through a 6 hour 3D print)

Now that AI is everywhere, I'm am impatiently waiting for folks to rename their operating system HAL ... so we can eventually have HAL 9000.

but is it noticeable enough to actually use WIN11?

I just "upgraded" to Win 11 from Win 10. Not really worth it, but I wanted a clean install. What I did not know was that Win 11 requires a GPT formatted drive (my Win 10 was on an MBR format drive) and ,worse still, that you can't have GPT on one just one partition. Now I always install the OS on a smaller (160 GB) partition, to leave the rest of the drive free for videos/data/games (which is useful if you need/want to clean reinstall the OS after something bad happens or for upgrades etc since you don't have to touch that partition). So you can imagine how annoying it was when I found out I would need to back up the ENTIRE drive because you can't apply GPT to just one partition - i.e. it has to be the entire drive, which means you have to nuke all your existing partitions to make a fully clean drive (and only then can you set up new GPT partitions). Total nightmare.

Consider that GPT is used by ten years.

You can convert a disk directly from the OS with the mbr2gpt.exe command line utility. Obviously, you'll still want to have a backup, but it saves the hassle of doing a reinstall or otherwise restoring data back to the drive.
