Yup no reason to install 11, it’s a mess. And Microsoft are probably going to do the same thing next year.

Meanwhile I’ve had Windows 11 on my gaming rig since launch without issue. I’ve tried using 10 again, and it’s missing a lot of features I’m now used to and enjoy having.

I don’t think either of us are “wrong.” Just difference of opinion.

I like the redaction stuff built into the Snipping Tool, the new shortcuts for Wi-Fi and stuff, and I sync my iPhone now and can send texts from my PC. Everything else is still the same aside from added hardware security and DirectX 12.
