Upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11

**CurrentlySober** · 05-10-2025, 11:48 AM

Scary stuff! BIOS update first...

I've taken the lack of replies as a sign to go ahead with it... If there were any major issues, I'm sure Id have had responses by now - But no ones gonna poost to say 'Yeah... its alright'...

**Cameltoepro** · 05-10-2025, 02:15 PM

Very Buggy in my opinion!

**CurrentlySober** · 05-10-2025, 02:42 PM

Pain in the ass - Now I gotta convert my boot disk using mbr2gpt...

Nothing is ever simple these days is it?

Gonna look at it tomorrow. Late here now in the UK...

**fris** · 05-10-2025, 03:20 PM

guess it depends on your systems specs

**TheLegacy** · 05-10-2025, 04:19 PM

I havent moved up to 11 yet. Actually waiting until the fall and buying myself a whole new computer with 11 on it rather than integrate into an older desktop

sorry i did not reply when i first saw this. i was on my phone and it is a pain in the ass to type more than a couple of words.

then i promptly forgot about it.

if i recall, and that's a pretty solid if there, my machine magically updated itself from 10 to 11 one night. pissed me off to no end. i thought i had checked some option not to update to 11 when i had some prompt for it one morning.

but, it updated. so, what you going to do? i lived with it.

it has been pretty smooth. no real issues that i have encountered, my davinci resolve works fine as does my corel stuff.

so, that's my story and i'm sticking to it, ya know

What is the advantage of going to Win 11?

End of support for 10 coming up in a few months or so... Thats all really... Nothing wrong with 10...

Thanks mate

**NatalieK** · 05-11-2025, 07:26 AM

I´m not going to 11, don´t want AI listening in, as much as it does anyway...

also, liking 10, why change something that´s not broke

I did hear, you make sure you upload everything from 10 to a drive before going to 11, so you can always go back... just my

That's the best way imo.

We did the same 4 months ago. Build ourselves 2 indentical PC's including a M2 HDD 2Tb, installed Win 11, connected our old HHD's and transfered to the new one. but here is the point that you have to install all your software again, and that takes time.

Our systems are running perfect.

If end of support means Windows will stop closing everything I'm working on to install a helpful update ... I'd pay extra for that.

oh my god this. once with win 10 I was editing a vid that was three separate sets of footage, a complicated custom where it all had to be spliced together non-linearly. I go out to have a cig and hang up laundry and come in to boom, an hour's worth of work lost cuz ms decided it really really had to update right then like the future of the planet depended on it. +1 on your 'helpful'

was so pissed. anyway, like S, the machine decided to upgrade to win 11. ok...

haven't noticed any diff in anything. not sure about win 10 but in 11 you can disable auto-updates for weeks

as far as AI intrusion, yeah creepy but everyone I know has so much tech ish anyway I'm sure I'm being listened to every time I have sex. if copilot secretly gets really good at dirty talk I better get some credit

**gtsix** · 05-11-2025, 08:30 PM

Win 10 "functional after 2025, but not secure or supported."

I keep turning off most of the windows "security features" anyway, they are annoying as hell and even prevent legit softwares from running whining it's all kind of bad thing lmao... good thing we got billions of other softwares for all type of different purposes... I used win7 until the very last breath, will be the same with 10... hopefully skipping a few shitty generations of windows until they finally wrench this one out of my cold dead hands with some fucking so-called "tech improvement"

**Marshal** · 05-27-2025, 02:46 AM

Why not just move to Win 10 LTSC and enjoy W10 for 2 more years?

**Tasty1** · 05-27-2025, 04:07 AM

I already had 11 for some years.
Had to look up what i was running.
Everything working fine.

**BaldBastard** · 05-27-2025, 06:07 AM

The AI already knows all your details, give up the fight and submit.

Windows 11 is awesomes, I've been on the Beta for years, final version is kick ass.

Just do it.

**Retiree** · 05-27-2025, 07:24 AM

It shouldn't be called an upgrade. Every Windows version sucks.

Luckily the guy who created it, is giving us health advice now.

**Emil** · 05-27-2025, 01:45 PM

It works pretty good. Buy a cheap CD key for ~$10-20 and install it.

**Rochard** · 05-27-2025, 02:30 PM

I've been running Windows Pro 11. Not having any issues at all.

I don't pay much attention to what OS I am running these days.

This. And while we're at it, stop forcing me to use a PIN and making it impossible to deactivate PIN use.

Same here, I will continue to use 10 with my actual comp. I also have an old laptop with Windows 7 that I'm still using when I go to the beach and it's working good . . .
