This might change if you upgrade your pc in the next months to a 12th gen Intel.
Windows 11 has a new scheduler for it and for now, Win 10 is not patched for 12th gen. Maybe in the next months W10 gets a patch and upgrading the Hardware still in Win 10 is worth it. I don't know.
If you're not upgrading hardware, stick with 10!
Windows 11 - dive in or wait?

Hell I have a fairly new Alienware computer and Microsoft is saying my computer isn't compatible with with v11 because of some TPM 2.0 setting. I'm tired of Windows my last laptop couldn't be upgraded and stuck on v8 and now my 2 year old 6 core that I maxed out with 64 Gb of ram at 3200mhz and 2 TB M.2 can't be upgraded because TPM is greyed out in my bios. My next computer will be a M1 chip Mac.
Mine probably will also be an M1 despite the price premium. Not because of any disillusionment about Windows but because Apple seem to have absolutely nailed it

You checked the BIOS yeah? A quick toggle and you should be ok.

I did all that and it didn’t work so I checked my TPM settings in my BIOS and it’s greyed out. Dell has said some computers have to download the TPM 2.0 software and Bios update. I’m just tired of PC BS I shouldn’t have to be digging all in my Bios trying to figure shyt out. In 3 years I’ll be on a Mac 🖥.

It's usually not a good idea to be the early adopter of Operating Systems. As a general rule I try to wait about 6 months or so (usually by then major issues are usually sorted out). That said chances are early adopter issues are usually minor but you never know and you usually gain very little anyway by instantly going to a new OS immediately on a DAW Computer as your DAW software would most likely still support the older version or even recommend the older version for some time.CaptainBlack wrote: ↑05 Oct 2021Is Reason going to be fine under the newly available OS or should I wait till some future optimisation?

Just got email from Dell and looks like I'm out of luck for Windows 11 on an 2 year old beast of a computer that should've lasted me 5 years at least. My next computer will be a Mac fck a PC!
Thank you for reaching the Alienware Online Services.
Upon reviewing your case we noticed it was created for Windows 11 upgrade option
Your system is not compatible with this version of the Operating system due to the BIOS settings and hardware components and of the main requirements will be the CPU that unfortunately, cannot be upgraded
Please check the following link for compatible systems: Dell computers tested for upgrade to Windows 11
Thank you for choosing Dell.

And if you stay on Win10 it will last that long. No need to go Wini11 at all.Goriila Texas wrote: ↑03 Dec 2021Just got email from Dell and looks like I'm out of luck for Windows 11 on an 2 year old beast of a computer that should've lasted me 5 years at least.
