Don't see many benefits to being on 11, only drawbacks in the UI, so why bother with the hassle of upgrading it? Scientifically proven and 100% inarguable that Windows releases always alternate good then bad (98✅, Me☹️, XP✅, Vista☹️, 7✅, 8☹️, 10✅, 11☹️)

Hi

Not looking back. Best OS ever. Game runs terrific on this OS (Win 11)

I had this debate with myself recently when I wiped my windows and do a fresh reinstall. After seeing several articles and tests show that windows 11 performs slightly worse in games and photo/video editing apps than 10, I decided to just stick with windows 10. 

No problems for me on two PC's:

One PC WIN11 (upgrade from 10 ) : using  P3D/4/5/6,  Xplan11 and MSFS2020.

Second PC, a new  PC, came with WIN11 : using  Xplane12, FSX-Steam (Level-D 767 and PMDG 737's), MSFS2020 (can use it on 2PC's / but only one at a time).

Is it "still" a free Upgrade from 10?

Does it still offer a testing/review time so if if does not meet your needs you can roll back to 10?

October 5th 2021. That was the Windows 11 release date. Maybe give it another couple of years just to be sure. 

😁

Don't like the UI? Just use WinaeroTweaker - problem solved. I experienced zero hassle with the upgrade.

And whilst this is unscientific anecdotal feedback, if anything, I've experienced fewer issues with Win11.

I've used Windows pretty much since day 1 and never had an issue. Most of the "issues" are user-generated. 

Then there's always the guy complaining that Windows won't run his scanner he bought in 1981.😆

I still am running under Windows 10 and was reluctant to upgrade due to reported issues with 11. Should I upgrade now?

What “reported issues” would those be?

Kind of reminds me of the people who wouldn’t update Windows XP to SP1 and later to Windows 7, because despite all the security patches and countless other updates and optimizations, they were scared of some “performance issue” someone reported that had been solved years ago.

The dev team tests on the latest version of Windows. It’s what they build against.

I changed to Windows 11 after I needed to reinstall my OS. Honestly, it works better with the CPU scheduling with the newer CPUs that have Performance and Efficiency cores. If your cores are all the same, then I don't think it makes a ton of difference, but I actually am fine with Windows 11.

This question comes around every once in a while.  I think the OP has enough info to make a decision.  Some people just won't be convinced though.  That's fine - best to leave them in peace on their W10 - there is really not that much difference anyway.
