Same here.My system didn't show any optional updates, but I've not noticed any issues with lower frames in the 2-3 games I play either.
Yes, I did a Windows upgrade over RDP on a system with overclocked RAM. Fight me!
I mean on a server with a management interface (cimc, rilo, drac, etc) sure. On a random consumer desktop... you are a brave oneWell, my 5700G system upgraded to 11 last night without hassle. That system I've been using the past week to test memory - got a Patriot 4400 CL19 kit running solid at 4400 CL19, and a Team Group 3600 CL14 kit running at 4133 CL19, the latter of which was installed when I did the upgrade to 11, over RDP.

A less than flattering still. Makes him look like an ugly blow-up doll.

While I've been using Win10 since launch, I actually did not put it on my main system until 2022. I had a chance to go straight to Win11, but after using Win11 in a VM for several months I decided against that. On my next system I will probably roll Win11 just cuz Win10 stopped getting real updates (no tabbed File Explorer, gimped DirectStorage, no Dark Mode for Task Manager, CPU Task Scheduler not updated for AMD Zen 4 or Intel Alder Lake and Raptor Lake, etc), and I want my gaming OS to be as up-to-date as possible. Honestly by the time I get a new machine Win10 might be EoL anyways. Win10 took 3-4 years after launch to get decent in my opinion, so I'm expecting the same for Win11.I'll give it another year before I jump into 11. Still happy with 10. Probably the 1st time in well over a decade that I'm not even tinkering with a new OS on at least one rig but everything is working the way it should right now and I just don't want any unexpected OS-related issues.
To be fair, I wouldn't call those "real" updates on Win11 either. For as many things as they might seem to improve, they regress in others. And so far that hasn't been zero-sum - the regressions are winning by a landslide.On my next system I will probably roll Win11 just cuz Win10 stopped getting real updates
Yeah, every time I have to do a fresh install of 10 I've seen crap change for the last few years, they keep moving the options to create a local or skip around. I kind of figured it would progressively get worse with 11. Seriously, friggin' idiots to make it so you have to have online connectivity just for the 1st power up. Ought to be a law against that.I will say, I just had to battle with a couple of cheapy laptops -- needed Windows out at a site to talk to some industrial controllers. So I picked up a couple out at Best Buy and ...
Holy $+%*
Can't set up without a Microsoft account - well we didn't have internet at the site, so at least once that failed it let us create a local accounnt. Then we couldn't install the software because S-mode enabled by default... and you can't turn it off without downloading an "App" from the Microsoft Store, which requires a Microsoft Account... Apparently you can regedit it, but can't run Regedit in S-mode... so...
We ended up driving out to a Starbucks so we could hotspot it and making a fake gmail microsoft account to get the **** thing to move on. Nearly an entire day spent just to install a 8Mb piece of software that can talk to a DB-9 serial communication device.
My one gripe about Apple going to ARM -- in the past I'd just run Windows in a VM and be done with it. But this software wouldn't run on ARM version of Windows for some reason, so needed an Intel native computer.
I'm sure if I bought a laptop with Win Pro I could have worked around it. But a) I didn't realize it had got this bad, and b) a laptop with WinPro preinstalled is much more expensive than the $350 HP POS that I got (at least to find one on the shelf)Yeah, every time I have to do a fresh install of 10 I've seen crap change for the last few years, they keep moving the options to create a local or skip around.
