(It's a Dell) an icon just showed up on my task bar (with a blue dot) I've just ignored it ... for the past month or so - but I'm curious what I would like to see is an OS that doesn't need to be "upgraded" ever f'ing week ... what's up with that ? |

User ID: 70598507 United Kingdom 11/25/2021 06:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i've upgraded all my windows devices to 11. if you're on 10 there is no reason to not be on 11. think of 11 as a major update for 10. windows 11 performs much better on ALL hardware that was running windows 10. tip, you can disable the new right click context menu with a registry edit. notsofastmr |

I have heard the deafening silence. User ID: 73362472 United States 11/25/2021 08:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And yet all the Branch Covidians that took his 'vax' are exactly that. Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country, don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy. |

Wouldn't surprise me the least bit if Google and Bill Gates are already planning an 'update' so your computer won't turn on and you can't access the internet on your phone without scanning your Covid passport to keep you 'safe'. Embrace the cognitive dissonance. |

It's not ready for production use or as your main computer. It still crashes fairly frequently. My kitchen laptop is only 1 year old and its not a potato so its not my hardware that was running fine until the "upgrade". I don't see that it brings anything to the table except more lockdown and more spyware "features". |

(OP) User ID: 59490123 United States 11/25/2021 08:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | so I don't see any recommendations ... so far I'm beginning to believe that no one had anything to say, because there is nothing remarkable about it and everyone hates gates LOL but thanks again for the input - I sure don't want an OS that crashes all the time ... it's bad enough they need to be upgraded every other day. |

User ID: 80486994 United Kingdom 11/25/2021 08:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just bought a new computer (last March) ... well, I have to admit, Joe Biden bought it for me (last stimulus check) and it had WIN 10 and I was not impressed ... and I assume this version has a lot more "back doors" and snooping devices ... Quoting: Shadow Dance anyone tried it yet ... what's your opinion of Win 11? you cant, unless you have a brand new pc, it wont be compatible. Life is a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves. |
