Win 11 a worthwhile upgrade from 10 ?

[Digital~Dreams]

Win 11 has been out a while now. Those who have upgraded from 10, is it any better or worse ?. Did the upgrade from 10 go well ? (not fresh installs). Rumor has it that it's better for the new processors (better thread scheduler or something) but not heard anything else 🤔

If you upgrade from 10 to 11 internally, you're advised to reinstall Windows 11 after fabricating the bootable USB installer using Windows Media Creation Tools. It's been the same story with the internal upgrade paths for Win 7>8, Win 8>10.

Is your hardware officially supported?

The thread scheduler is an Intel only thing, and it works better in Windows 11 than in Windows 11. AMD's not affected by this.

There's no real need to go to Windows 11 if you're satisfied with Windows 10, at least until Microsoft ends support for it.

RAM is an expensive resource, so you want it to be used. Both Win10 and Win11 have excellent memory managers that keep as much in RAM as they can, but without compromising the ability to allocate more RAM fir a process that needs it.

Its not wise at all to try and second guess the Windows memory manager by looking at how much RAM is being used. It's thus pointless claiming that Win11 using more RAM is a bad thing.
