Like you can't expect windows to be like linux and have it running on 20 year old machines. I prefer when the upgrade is actually working properly without the bugs and glitches so I'll give it a couple of years before I upgrade my machine as well.

skyfire Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 I too waited too long for windows 10 like that but turns out I loved the windows 10 experience despite bugs. I am giving 6 month tops to windows 11. I may upgrade eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Yeah 5 years each operating system would be getting the lifespan from what I have seen. so 2022 is the year when we all would make safe movement into new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely wait until 2023 especially when I can get some deals if they're not offering me a free upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 I think free update will be there even for pirated windows 10 users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Bumping this thread because Windows 11 is released tomorrow. From what I understand, the update will be available to download for existing windows 10 users via Microsoft's website. More info from CNET.

I think I'm going to at least give it a month so that the major bugs and other kinks can be worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 I think I'd go for it after the December if possible. I have to wait for some others reviews before I can update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 Yes that is the reason I'd pass and not consider spending time on their immediate upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not entirely accurate. According to Linus Tech Tips (video below) the performance dips seem to occur while using AMD CPU's when paired with high end GPU's because of the way Windows 11 spreads the load of the current operation over more of CPU's threads. A better idea in theory, but it can slow the flow of data between an AMD CPU and a GPU because of the way AMD CPU's interact with GPU's. Video below. With other hardware set ups, it's looking like there's not going to be much difference at launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 I sometimes think the windows 11 is rushed unlike windows 10 which had mixed start the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 11 was originally supposed to be a huge update to Windows 10 but for whatever reason, they decided to make it another version and that decision was made within the last 2 years so I'd also agree that it was rushed.
