November 3, 20232 yr I still am running under Windows 10 and was reluctant to upgrade due to reported issues with 11. Should I upgrade now? My system specs: Intel [email protected] - 5.2 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, 32GB DDR4 RAM, Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler,1TB Seagate SSD, 4TB Seagate HD, Windows 10, Asus 32 inch monitor, Saitek Yoke, Throttle Quadrant, Rudder Pedals and Trim Wheel Sims: MSFS2020 Preferred Aircraft Black Square Bonanza, and Baron, A2A Comanche, PMDG DC-6, Red Wing L1049
November 3, 20232 yr October 5th 2021. That was the Windows 11 release date. Maybe give it another couple of years just to be sure. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base

November 3, 20232 yr Windows 11 works fine with msfs. Definitely upgrade and W11 handles HDR much better if you use it. Many, if not most of us are on W11 now with no problems at all.

November 3, 20232 yr Windows 11 is functionally a small upgrade over 10. Everything that works under 10, works under 11 too. Few minor (awful imo) UI decisions that can be easily rectified and some under-the-hood improvements like some tweaks to the CPU scheduler, HDR improvements, WDDM improvements in how it handles multiple monitors and refresh rate differences etc. [MSI MPG X870E Carbon | 9800X3D (PBO +200Mhz / -20 Offset) | Corsair 64GB DDR5 (Custom Timings) | RTX 4090 Founders Edition (Undervolted) | WD SNX 850X 4TB + 4TB | Antec Flux Pro]

November 3, 20232 yr I have been running MSFS in W11 for over a year. No issues with MSFS or anything else. Drag and drop to active taskbar apps is working fine now. That was the only W10 feature I missed initially. Other than that, only advantages are latest security, and better with Intel 12000 series onwards due to recognising and handling of the Eco / Power cores on those chips.

November 3, 20232 yr Ran Win11 since it launched. Seemingly a lot of the issues i had with MSFS at the time disappeared after installation. I am not saying that Win 11 was the reason, but no game stopping issues at all since?

November 3, 20232 yr Win 11 and no looking back here, for several reasons, but simulation-wise, mostly due to stability.

Like many, I am usually not willing to move to a new version of windows until I am satisfied that any initial bugs are ironed out but otherwise would always want to be on the latest version to ensure support and security in the future. I may even wait to jump to msfs2024 until any early issues are resolved Most who have posted on here seem to be using W11 from what I can tell.

November 3, 20232 yr I've been running Win 11 (simming) for almost 2 years with no issues whats so ever, rock solid.

November 3, 20232 yr Windows 10 mainstream support ends in Oct 2025. That's when security patches will stop being released for Win 10. So, you have a little under 2 years to figure out a plan. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF
November 3, 20232 yr Went back to Win10 after one of 'brilliant' Microsoft service packs, when i lost performance and whole P3D went crazy. So far Win10 is rock solid even still some updates received - I hate them ... 🙂 Artur
