PC don't be the first kid on the block to get Windows 11. wait a year.

Well, before they removed the tool to test if your computer allowed to run windows 11, I tested my BRAND new computer and it didn't pass.  Sooo F Microsoft, I'll stick to Windows 10.  Windows 10 good for 2025 I believe, I MIGHT afford a new computer with Win 11 installed then.

With the chip shortage and High prices on computer components, seems a bad time to introduce an OS with stark high system requirements ?  Am I missing something here ?

If your computer is stated that it can't run windows 11, either your using something really outdated, or they haven't even implemented every processor, gpu, drive, and ram combination yet.

It is quite literally in the earliest of stages, we won't be seeing it for 3-5 years so why does it matter that much? A lot can change, just like this game.

Just as much as the GPU market can change in 3-5 years. Just because "there is a chip shortage" doesn't make an OS that is heavily processor and drive bound useless because GPUs are 2-3x MSRP.

So Microshaft is re-considering the hardware requirements after a lot of backlash. It's looking like they'll include the Intel 7th gen and Ryzen 1000-series chipsets. It's interesting especially because the architecture from 4th to 7th gen Intel is basically the same, so that might leave it possible for older Intel chipsets to upgrade with some tweaking.

And all-in-all, Win 11 isn't very far from being stable enough to be used as a primary OS. The last update fixed a couple of the things I hated, and the only real issue I have currently is one of multitasking abilities.

Yeah, I do agree on the “relative ease of use” but I still know people (friends and family) who are just not willing to mess with it. I’ve tried and lost the battle. I was able to get 1 person to switch to an Apple MacBook, which is sort of a “win” and they love it over Windows, but then again they weren’t really doing anything special (no special apps, for work, etc).edit: and they spent a bizillion dollars for it(ha) but I got to have their old laptop as they no longer wanted it.  So it sorta kept some old hardware out of a landfill. 

the other problem I’ve run into is Windows apps that run poorly on Wine. Usually it’s “I have to have this app” like old school Quicken or something where they’ve been using it for years.

Same here, would love to know what to do to repair this - From what I know is that the WindowsStore went haywire after some update - from that point on - it all went down. I've read somewhere that MediaCreationToolx64.exe should work things out... I'm looking for the reddit post that had some additional info on how to restore the apps after that MediaCreationToolx64...
