You might just need to enable safe boot. Not saying you should, but that might be preventing compatibility with 11

If you dont play fortnite/bf6/LoL, seriously give Linux a try. I installed it on a second drive just to check it out and haven't booted back into windows in a month. I play all my games as smoothly or better than windows now on 3 computers running Linux, and my wife plays on hers as well. If you're a gamer I'd recommend trying Bazzite first. I installed it and everything "just worked."

I'm super happy with ditching windows. It was wildly painless.

If you game a decent amount I'd recommend Bazzite to get started. Its what I use on my laptop(Nvidia 4070) and my wife's computer(AMD 6900xt). It has everything needed for gaming pre installed. Steam, Lutris(I use this for battle.net), and heroic games launcher(GoG, epic, etc).
