I just got done installing Win 11 on my home PC. So far, all is fine.
The path I took was: I navigated to
here and utilized the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. It went smooth and took about 20 minutes from the initial click to a usable Win 11 Desktop.
I did have to initiate a network troubleshooting (from the ethernet adapter itself)wizard to fix a problem with the ethernet driver. After the install of Win 11, I had no internet. I noticed it was switched to a Public network, I ran the troubleshooting wizard and it switched it back to Private Network which fixed my internet connection.
I'm not having any issues with the new Taskbar. I like it.
The rounded edges of the U.I., the font, and the window that pops up in the middle when you click the Start button or hit the Windows key make me think of Ubuntu. I'm not saying it's
like Ubuntu, it just has a "feel".
Update: I tried to open Outlook and received an error message that Office needed to be repaired. I opened the Control Panel and right-clicked on Microsoft 365 and chose change, then chose repair. After the repair was finished, I was able to open Outlook as before.
Update: Every time I reboot, I have no internet. Going through the Control Panel>Change Adapter Settings>Right clicking on connected Adapter>clicking Diagnose, would fix it.
This was a P.I.T.A. so, I found a solution:
Open an elevated command prompt and run these commands separately, after each command hit enter. To open an elevated command, hit the Start button, type cmd, then CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER (an elevated command prompt should open)
Code:
ipconfig /release
Code:
netsh int ip reset
Code:
ipconfig /flushdns
Code:
ipconfig /renew
Restart your PC.
This fixed the issue for me.
