What surprises me is how many people are still running the preview channel stuff. I mean, why?
For kicks, anyway, that update must have fixed because it went through fine today.

... I've had less troubles in 6+ years of exclusively running Windows Insider builds (and from the canary/dev channel, at that) than probably most other people here, if that's what you're implying.

Well here we go. I bought an X570S Ace Max from Newegg about 2 months ago. I had Windows 11 installed and was absolutely loving it. I started seeing errors in HWinfo64 with the CPU/Interconnect. I changed the CPU and nothing changed. Then I started getting the shutdowns. I changed the RAM and I was no longer getting errors but the system would only show 16GB of DDR4 when I have 32GB installed. The issue is it was the first RAM slot that was the issue. I am in the process of RMA with the board but got a board to replace it and that is when it started.

When I installed the new board and was ready to click on I made Hardware changes the black screen came. After that I could no longer get into Windows. So I download a copy of Windows 11 put it on a USB stick and here we go. I could format the NVME drive that Windows was loaded on but it refused to install Windows. I introduced a drive with Windows 10 loaded and I have never seen as many blue screens.

To solve this issue I have had to purchase (surprisingly I didn't have any lying around) A NVME drive and load Windows 10 on that. Once I was in the Windows environment I was able to use Seagate Disk Wizard to clone the new OS to the old Windows 11 drive.

That sound very much like hardware problems to me. I've not seen anything like that with Windows 11, yet. Any idea what might have caused it beyond the mobo?

It is a hardware problem. The only thing I can think is that the Partitions that Windows 11 creates don't like to run on any other OS and a drive with Windows 11 installed must be wiped to remove those partitions. I have not seen one Blue screen since Saturday. It was funny when I went into Safe mode after formatting the Windows 11 drive and could still get into my Downloads folder.

I keep forgetting that most people let Windows do the partitioning. Manually set your partitions. Make one big partition with a utility and then run Windows setup. You should see fewer problems.

So I've been tinkering and have got Windows 11 working on a Core2Quad Q9550. Runs smooth and does everything well. Colour me impressed.

w11 aside im impressed anything past 7 would run well on it in general. I miss the complexity and simplicity of older machines. Different times.

It runs very well after all the bloat is removed. It's a completely stand alone system(no internet/network at all), so Defender and the Windows Firewall have been deleted along with the app store, Edge and all the other fluff included with Windows...

My main machine at home is also a Core2Quad Q9550 running Windows 11 and I am more than happy with it.

Last year and earlier this year I did a lot of flip-flopping between 10 and 11, on the order of like once every two weeks. Ended up staying with 10 for a while after the Windscribe problem in 11 and its general "not finished" state. That was between 21H1/21H2 Win 10, and 21H1 Win 11.

I've been back on Win 11 for about 3 weeks now, 21H2 this time. Am very surprised at how well it runs, everything as well as 10 now, no more Windscribe hard crashing.

11 is impressively snappy now, have no idea what they changed under the hood in the past few months. All program launches are very, very quick (reminds me of HDD>SATA SSD jump, and SATA SSD>NVMe jump). Moved the HTPC to 11 as well I was so impressed - clean 10 install couldn't really compare either.

As to benchmark performance, I don't know if 21H2 changes anything. Can't say I care about scores anymore either.

Yeah, 21H2 didn't change anything for 10 but sure seemed to be a difference for 11. Main was an in-place upgrade from 10, and HTPC was a clean 21H2 install. Both super fast. Still kinda confused as to why they didn't adopt a different naming scheme, 21H2 W10 and 21H2 W11 seem to have very different content.

Somewhere along the line the taskbar clock has also returned, for secondary displays. No more third party software needed.

You can get a lot of the settings by going to the Run menu and typing "control". Albeit I expect the options panels to still look different. Yes, it looks like that style of panel is gone.

There should be a link somewhere in the start menu called "Windows Tools". In that menu is a link to the Classic control panel.

To be fair, 11 was running well on the E8400 it had when I bought the system but it was a bit sluggish at times. With the Q9550 that sluggishness disappeared. Granted, I'm not asking much of it. I was going to use it as a retro XP system, but discovered that the R7-250 just couldn't run very well a couple of the games I wanted to run in XP. So my Dell T3500 is back on XP duties and the Lenovo has become my music/video/lite emulation system with Windows 11, and in that capacity it's perfect. It will be forever off-grid.

Software Windows 10 21H2 LTSC
There should be a link somewhere in the start menu called "Windows Tools". In that menu is a link to the Classic control panel.


To be fair, 11 was running well on the E8400 it had when I bought the system but it was a bit sluggish at times. With the Q9550 that sluggishness disappeared. Granted, I'm not asking much of it. I was going to use it as a retro XP system, but discovered that the R7-250 just couldn't run very well a couple of the games I wanted to run in XP. So my Dell T3500 is back on XP duties and the Lenovo has become my music/video/lite emulation system with Windows 11, and in that capacity it's perfect. It will be forever off-grid.
Interesting so they must have added it back to windows 11 then. On 21H2 if you load the classic control panel and click on system (even whilst in classic control panel), it takes you to a modern UI version of it in the settings app.

I am running 11 on both of my machines, pretty happy with it so far! We have a new Inspiron laptop in the house with a 5700u under the hood, it came with 11 installed and all 3 are running very nicely. No weirdness, no hiccups, Nada.. smooth sailing.

The memory timings on that Dell are horrendous but it still feels pretty good.
