October 7, 20214 yr Hello, I'm just asking if anyone has yet installed Windows 11 and if so what do you feel about it please? I installed it yesterday and apart from a few graphics changes I'm quite underwhelde and I can't understand what all the fuss is about. Best.... Phil
October 7, 20214 yr I personally haven't installed W11, and probably wont until W10 support expires in 2025 or later. There's a busy and informative thread on W11 here ........

In fairness, I've not noticed any problems with my AMD setup with Win 11, I just generally feel underwhelmed with the new OS.
October 8, 20214 yr I never care about what you see on the surface its what's underneath that counts, every release of Windows becomes bloated over time and a new release streamlines that mess for the first 2 years anyways. If you get it now you get the most out of it, if you get it in 2 or 3 years you get the bloated over time version of it. Windows 10 was the same, at its best in the first 2 years Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

October 8, 20214 yr For what prevailing reason would I elect to do that? I wish over the past 20+ years I had somehow captured the intensity of topics here from first adopters. First adopters of OS, simulators, addons, hardware devices, etc. I have orders from my physician to keep my blood pressure low. Avoiding first adoption was the #1 item we settled on after discussion..... He chuckled and adopted the same mantra for his medical practice. And here 10 years later still clings to that!

Let's then with the same approach compare blood pressure readings from time to time... LOL! When MSFS 2024 comes out I'd bet you and I will both be flying a then finally mature MSFS 2020 for another two years beyond that release!

Also...I can't help myself, "Widows 11...indeed" I cackled when I read the thread title. Win11 may make widows of some. I usually am not a first adopter of anything.
