I've been running Windows 11 for quite awhile now, as I'm on the "Fast Track" f
or Windows Insider. Technicaly the CPU I use is not supported (Intel I7-6700K),
but I guess they removed the "blacklisting" stuff for the Insider builds.
It's been running fine. I barely notice any difference, other than right-click
menus being drastically simplified (grr). I was able to move the taskbar back t
o a more standard windows layout, with the start button on the left.
The fucking start menu though. ooh boy. I hate it. I hate it more than I hate
d the fuckup that was Windows 8.
If I'm forced to roll back at some point, I probably will, and I'll stick with w
indows 10. I did upgrade my RAM to 64GB a few weeks ago, and popped in a new v
ideo card (since I was able to get one at a halfway decent price).
If I have to upgrade the CPU/Motherboard, I'll probably go AMD. Which means I'l
l have to buy new RAM, too, but the old stuff is easy enough to sell on ebay for
a decent price.
The 512GB m.2 drive, and my two 1TB m.2 drives can just just stay where they are
.
MR> i prefer windows 10 but i always have a linux console open.
