 I've been running Windows 11 for quite awhile now, as I'm on the "Fast Track" for Windows Insider.  Technicaly the CPU I use is not supported (Intel I7-6700K), but I guess they removed the "blacklisting" stuff for the Insider builds.

It's been running fine.  I barely notice any difference, other than right-click menus being drastically simplified (grr).  I was able to move the taskbar back to a more standard windows layout, with the start button on the left.

The fucking start menu though.  ooh boy.  I hate it.  I hate it more than I hated the fuckup that was Windows 8. 

If I'm forced to roll back at some point, I probably will, and I'll stick with windows 10.   I did upgrade my RAM to 64GB a few weeks ago, and popped in a new video card (since I was able to get one at a halfway decent price).

If I have to upgrade the CPU/Motherboard, I'll probably go AMD.  Which means I'll have to buy new RAM, too, but the old stuff is easy enough to sell on ebay for a decent price.

The 512GB m.2 drive, and my two 1TB m.2 drives can just just stay where they are. 




 MR> i prefer windows 10 but i always have a linux console open.
