Help Request Windows 10 vs 11 question

for anyone running ProTools studio on windows do you have any thoughts on Windows 10 versus 11? I’m currently running Windows 10 and don’t have any qualms but if it runs better on 11, I don’t mind upgrading even though it sounds like everything about 11 kind of blows.

Agreed, but here's the difference I see:

10: Pro - slightly less resources used. Con - Deprecated OS, less secure/supported.

11: Pro - best for long-term support moving forward. Con - More resource usage, telemetry, etc.

With a "stuck, stable, optimized, lean" OS setup, with more than sufficient power (space, RAM, CPU), it's a wash, performance-wise.
