If am building an 11th gen system would you recommend installing windows 11 ?

No..

I'd recommend
windows 95 GIF

EDIT;
For the record, I loved Windows Millennium. IMHO, it was the best 9x kernel OS microsoft made.
I used Win2K Pro until XP SP2 came out. Probably the best OS MS made in terms of light weight, stability, no bloat or any other BS. Although the OS did grow by the time it was released as SP4.

So all the early adopters of 11, how is it?

Edit - I didn't really have any good memories of win ME, however, it's possible all the issues I had was due to the capacitor plague??

I'll agree with this. 2k was excellent after DirectX support was added.

I'm liking it a lot. It feels and works much better than 10 ever did!
 
I'm liking it as well besides no "Toolbar adds" for the task bar like on WiN10
 
That's good to hear, although my PC isn't supported officially......sigh........
That's ok, limitation bypasses are a thing.
Enjoy!
 
Hello All,
I suddenly get an error in the game "Control".
Haven't had it before.

Thank You for that. Now we all know who's opinion to ignore going forward.
(Just an FYI there bud, Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was an excellent movie! For you to compare 11 to it is indeed saying much, but your implication of it being a negative connotation is deeply flawed.)


Maybe, but it's not going over very well with a lot of people.
Your taste in movies is as bad as your taste in operating systems. Perhaps they could add 3 more clicks to get to where I need to go in the context menu and perhaps add another 6 inches to the “recommended” field what do you think ? Dont forget the useless start menu search box, that redirects you to the search app. And Widgets need to be on the Home screen just like other platforms as widgets are designed to provide info at a glance. Ironic that the Update dialog in Win 10 now states (paraphrasing) "You can update. But be aware Windows 11 is missing some Windows 10 features" lol.

Are you sure this is a windows 11 issue? Might be better off making your own thread for specific help

Crystal skull was indeed terrible, but please - avoid personal insults and try to stay on topic.

Have you tried rolling back to a previous driver set?

Opinions are like rectums...

...but I digress.

Whine, whine, whine, blah, blah, blah...

That's all I'm seeing there. Now instead of the complaints(which there are no shortage of for Windows 10), how about you ask about a problem you're having and see if there is a solution or configuration tweak/fix that can be made to resolve it? Would that not be the better way? Is that not how we deal with things that irritate us in ALL versions of Windows? Hmm?

That's because NT4, was infamous for only supporting DirectX 3, for the highest version of DirectX!

ME was a hybrid, notable for using Windows 2000's sounds. It did appear to take some functions from Windows 2000 and merge them into the kernel, despite the kernel and system being based on Windows 98 SE. But, the defragger included, is inferior, appears to cheat by skipping files that the one in Windows 98 SE didn't. It was found to be faster, most likely, because it was cheating. (ME's defrag)

What? By SP4 DX9c was fully supported. I think you might have been duped by a myth..

That's not what i mean, just saying since windows 11 was optimized for Alder lake, is it wise to jump ship now if you have an older architecture or just stick to what is tried and true windows 10
Alder Lake support is far from the only advancement microsoft made with 11. Grab the ISO, buy a cdkey, install(using bypasses if needed), enjoy!

Windows 2000 is NT 5. Windows NT 4.0 scared a lot of people away, because Microsoft only supported DirectX 3. NT 4 also had a lot of service packs, more than NT5 and was very picky with the order that you install the updates. Yes, with Windows 2000, with SP4, you were golden. Yes, SP4 was the last service pack of Windows 2000.

Oops, sorry, my bad.. You're right. For some reason I was thinking Win2k...:banghead:

Windows 2000 also worked like a dream on my socket 462 systems. But is known for wackiness. It boots slower than XP, but once Explorer.exe loads, it's fast. And on some systems, apparently when there's no ethernet controller, then Windows 2000 will hang on every dang logout. (stupid bug with Windows 2000, when you have dial-up) When that happens, the event log contains the following:
Code:
Level: Error
Windows cannot unload the registry hive (or similar) DETAIL ACCESS IS DENIED

XP and later will not have this message and normally doesn't treat a registry hold as an error and will just log a warning instead and not hang for a minute.
