Go ahead I rarely do what you say I do anyway.Lol, yeah - I try to remember to do that, but I keep forgetting.
What if my PC doesn’t meet the minimum hardware specifications? Can I stay on Windows 10?
Yes! Windows 10 continues to be a great version of Windows. We have committed to supporting Windows 10 through October 14, 2025.
Starting to get targeted with communications for this, its annoying.
It's hard to say, for sure, but it's definitely something.I don't quite know what's wrong with me, but I've been a little sad at the thought of never having a new Windows version again.
Yeah, love that name. It's like a Window is something you can look outside of to see the real world.So, this W11 news was a positive for me - just through the name alone.
I guess I'm not that smart
It's the Microsoft way!Well, except that I was right in absolutely not understanding why they'd stop taking money from people by incrementing numbers on a box.
Well, I refused to move to Vista but thought Win7 was pretty good. I say Win7 was their best OS.As for this version, I don't know. I don't remember the last time Microsoft impressed me with their OS upgrade. Maybe Windows 2000/XP - that seemed a proper upgrade.
This bit is why I wrote this silly reply.Of course, coming from the AmigaOS - it wasn't until Windows 95 (with actual multitasking) that I started to appreciate Windows - and it wasn't until 2000/XP that I considered it a comparable OS.
Yeah, that DirectStorage is one of the more interesting developments. I am very intrested to hear more about it. Maybe there will be alternative methods to do the same thing without Windows? I'd like to hear more about that.Obviously, having invested a minor fortune in the right hardware (including the right SSD, GPU and so forth) - I'm happy to hear that I might one day get to experience load times resembling the actual capacity of my gear.
I used to format pretty often in winXP days, but 7 seems to fuck up a lot less.But, from what I've seen, W11 won't be anything to write home about.
I'll use it as an excuse to re-install from the ground up, I guess. I used to do that every 3-6 months.
I don't bother with that at all, anymore.
Well, Microsoft also developed the by far most popular version of DOS
Well, after using Windows 11 on my laptop for a while, I can't see any reason why anyone wouldn't upgrade to it if they're currently on Windows 8/8.1/10. Unless having a taskbar in the middle of the screen really annoys you that much. If you're waiting for the next Windows 7 (let's face it, most of us just wanted MS to iterate on that for the last 10 years), well that ship has sailed. And Windows 8 to 10 were kinda shit, just upgrade dammit.
It has similar innards, and looks a hell of a lot nicer. Instead of the old fashioned Metro look with it's terribly anti-aliased fonts you get something closer to a Windows 7 look. The deeper forms and menus (some of which have been around since Vista, if not earlier) no longer clash so much with the top level UI.
The only criticism I have probably applies to all Windows releases - the inability to separately choose touch/mouse click settings means that if you want your 2-in-1 to toggle between behaving like a laptop or tablet (i.e. double click or single touch) you have to go into the mouse settings each time. I don' t know why they fart around with tablet or detached keyboard modes but never address the basic aspects of control schemes.
Their only improvement to tablet mode is, well, getting rid of it. That's okay, it was a confusing monster, but locking the taskbar to the middle of the screen will only piss off people who are determined to stay with the Windows classic control scheme and never use their PC as a tablet.
These days I hardly use a Start button, so the new placing doesn't annoy me too much. When using my laptop as a PC, if it's not a taskbar shortcut then "Windows key then type-to-search" is what I mostly do (even in Linux!).
I'm on the Dev branch (was the only choice at the time), which is meant to be a little rough around the edges, but I have had no major bugs of any kind. Pretty much smooth sailing.
The only very minor glitches were cosmetic. E.g. some windows' titles were slightly clipped on the left by a couple of pixels, which can be fixed by resizing.
Nope. Unless you're curious or were hoping it would improve your 2-in-1 laptop.Is there a reason to not wait for its actual release though?

Your guess would be correct! It looks a little nicer, but there is no split-pane option as far as I can tell. It would have been great if they had added a shortcut to do something like that, like in KDE's Dolphin (push F3).How about file management? Have they finally made some significant improvements there? I think I've been waiting since '95 for a decent alternative to Directory Opus or even Norton Commander.
My guess would be no.
Just a heads up Microsoft will officially release Windows 11 on October 5th.
You should as long as your key is legit and has no errors.Do you know if Win 10 users get free upgrades ?
