Here we go again...

I've heard so many mixed opinions about 11.
People either notice no issues, or have a bunch of them.

Who cares, windows is garbage. But seriously, MS could rob your family and you would still buy windows. With the latest bullshit called recall, when do you guys actually draw the line. I no longer use their products, that line was crossed and absolutely despise Microsoft, way too many suckers in this world.

Pretty impressive that Windows 10 had 10 years of mainstream support. I don't think MS has ever provided mainstream support for this long. 6 years of mainstream support for Windows was pretty standard. Fuck MS for charging for extended W10 security support till 2028. 

Unless you're going to the sketchiest of websites, this really isn't that big of a deal if you're primarily going to be gaming. The OS isn't going to just stop working. I use Windows 11 for work, and I don't notice anything inherently wrong with the OS from a functional perspective. But, I still have Windows 10 on my home gaming rig, so I haven't been able to test out W11 for gaming.

I don't plan on upgrading though. I really like W10 lol. Plus I still have my concerns about features like Recall.

Regarding the "buy" portion of your comment. Upgrades to Windows 10 and 11 can be found for free from Microsoft. They don't always advertise it, but the option exists.

I can see staying on W10 if its just a gaming PC.
I just have one PC for everything, so if end of support means no more security updates, I'll pretty much have to switch.

Buying is unimportant, people should not support the crap MS brings with windows.

Windows 11 works fine for me. Zero issues. Not much choice, unless someone wants to spend 2x for 1/2 the performance for Apple.

Considering about 60% of Windows PCs are still using it that's not ideal. XP users largely skipped Vista and 7 users largely skipped 8 but this time if you're gonna stay with Windows you won't be able to skip the version with poor reception unless you use LTSC or pay for the extended updates or get them some other way and the vast majority of people aren't gonna bother doing any of those things.

I'll start using 11 when I get a new PC early next year so hopefully I should get used to it quickly and Microsoft should release a Windows 12 in the next 1-2 years and try to please people with it cause there's gonna be loads of Windows PCs getting a new OS in that time frame.

From what I tested with Win 11, doesnt seem to be too much of an issue.

Had to disable S mode for my wife's laptop when I got it two years ago - not sure if its still turn on by default. I'll know when I get a Windows 11 PC likely next year.

More curious how my work will handle it since if Win 10 support is going, it'll be a huge security compliance issue especially insurance purposes.

Gonna be a lot of computers I'll have to set up. Its just me and 2 other people (one being a part timer) - that will have to upgrade 1,300+ people with a new computer.

I'm switching to Apple when my laptop gets too old. Who knows, it might still last years. It will be nice not to have any updates screwing things up anymore.

I've tried turning Windows update off before, yet after 3 months it screwed me over anyway. I had to do a full Windows re-install as updates didn't work anymore after uninstalling Edge, and that one update requiring Edge screwed up everything after.

My youngest has Windows 11 on his PC, no thanks. I still don't know where to find everything in Win 10.

Waiting on it. I've been using Virtual Box to test out Linux Mint, Puppy, Pop and some others or Android x86 in the mean time to see what works for me and just to find alternatives to Windows 10 when it goes.

Tried Haiku OS which is pretty alright.

Might use the N500 Netbook (came with Windows 10 Pro by the company that set it up, but will dual boot it if I can if not I'll just wipe it instead) rather than my Windows HP X210 Tablet.

Got the desktop with Windows 10 as the usual but may upgrade it. If it has Windows 11 sure.....

I have to have something with good app support for different uses so sigh Windows 11 it is then unless just keep 10 around. Got my Windows 8.1 disk if I want to use that as well for anything.

I don't have a choice but gaming eh I just can work with whatever I need to put Minecraft third party launchers on instead like MultiMC is easy on Linux pretty sure, no idea how PolyMC (similar enough to MultiMC), Technic, Curseforge, GD or others would go though.

Haven't touched Steam in a while as got Ark and free games/demos that's it. Got my consoles for gaming instead retro or otherwise.

If I want to put an old OS on something I may to test Flashpoint for flash games or any older games compatibility support.
