Will you be upgrading right away?



https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2021/08/31/windows-11-launching-october-5-pcs/5661563001/

I don't actually know anything about 11, but if you don't want to upgrade they'll still be supporting 10 until 2025.

It sounds like 11 will be more similar to 10 than most Windows upgrades are too their predecessors, but I'm still a bit worried about compatability issues. Probably worth waiting a few weeks or months.

Permanent free upgrade is nice.

I think I ran a test when 11 was first announced and my processor isn't capable of running it; it's only a few years old so I was kind of surprised by that.

Whenever PC parts aren't hard to come by and I can build a new PC I'll switch over.

I have a new CPU in the waiting but I need a new mobo and RAM to go with it. Only then will I have a computer capable of running it, since my parts are currently 6 y/o and apparently that's too old. Weird!

The test was flawed and automatically marked any processor over 2 years old as incapable because they hadn't been tested by Microsoft yet.

Oh, it sounds like the free upgrade will be rolled out in waves, starting October 5 and ending somewhere mid-2022. It'll go in order of newest computers. So most people won't be able to upgrade right away. Only those with brand-new computers will be exceptions...

My Desktop is still on Windows 7

I'll be upgrading my Laptop fairly quickly in order to test the update's function to possibly apply it to my customers. If it's too unstable I'll probably stick with 10 as long as possible.

laughs in windows 7

They actually moved from yelling at me daily that it's out of service, to giving me perky reminders that 11 is coming soon.

I remember when I upgraded to Windows 10 and my computer went to complete shit after that. It wasn't the OS itself, on my new computer it's great, but upgrade process was just so flawed it caused endless problems.

Not interested in upgrading at all.

is there a list of new features anywhere?

i'm wondering whether they're backing off or doubling down with the horrible ads and tracking of windows 10

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Yeah, I got no problem with 10 so I probably won't bother upgrading until I inevitably buy a new laptop that has 11 already installed.

I'm still waiting for a decent moment to build a new PC, so I expect the current one will remain un-upgraded and the new one will probably come with 11 from the start.

The only feature I'm aware of is that it will supposedly be able to run Android apps, which I do find very interesting. Fingers crossed it works well.

Sadly the Android feature apparently isn't being added until mid-next year. They cut out a bunch of features to get it out this year.

This laptop I'm using is pretty old. It launched with Windows 7 and was on sale when I bought it. No upgrade, saving my cash for a replacement.

Windows 7 is a good operating system, leaves me with more control than Windows 10, and everything I want or need is still compatible with it.

If I start losing function I'll move on to another OS but there's simply no reason to have 10 on my Desktop at the moment.
