Anyone upgraded to Windows 11?
I wonder if they've revamped File History so it actually works reliably? Think I'll stick to my third party backup stuff until I can muster the enthusiasm to test it out.Derek27 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 4:51 pmThe start button's been moved to the centre!

I have on one laptop… which is newer.
The older laptop is compatible to upgrade but not been released yet!
There was a message saying update times will vary depending on systems.
I like it!

Looks quite fresh compared to previous versions. Centred toolbar feature is okay.
Excel/Word looks a little sharper.
Email synchronised okay too.
Upgrade took about 45 minutes and restarted 3 times.

I haven't looked at this so I'm not endorsing it but may be of interest. I was actually looking for bypassing or taking control of Windows 11 updates. Every new version seems to make it more difficult.

Cheers Derek but I may not need that as after faffing around with Firmware settings, principally something called Trusted Platform Module 2.0 I'm getting a different message at least on the PC Health CheckerDerek27 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 11:55 pmI haven't looked at this so I'm not endorsing it but may be of interest.

...not yet - one laptop is ready and the upgrade is available but one laptop doesn't meet the minimum system requirements - I won't upgrade the first one for a while, maybe a couple of years as I'm quite happy with Win 10 Pro

Ditto, It popped up on my main PC and test laptop about a week ago but I've ignored it on both for the time being, just run the regular updates on both at the time
I probably won't wait a few years but i'll be giving it a few months for sure
When I upgrade an OS I like to do a clean install, which is a lot of work reinstalling and configuring the machine to how it was before. I'd recommend making a complete disk image of the old system so you can always roll back quickly, or even while you're in the process of upgrading to Windows 11.
It doesn't have to be, you can record a short video of all the relevant settings prior to a clean install for a fast smooth transition. Or take a few screenshots at least. I always keep backup video clips of important settings, apps etc. Otherwise it can be a PITA.
You can also clone your Windows and stuff, keep a freshly installed template as backup etc.

It's a good idea to run audit software every now and then to remind you what you've got loaded esp for the things you don't use often.Kai wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 3:07 pmIt doesn't have to be, you can record a short video of all the relevant settings prior to a clean install for a fast smooth transition.

That would be about 100 pages of settings. I back up complex settings to registry files but there's no guarantee that would work with a new operating system. I've also got to test my backup and restore scripts to make sure they work as expected with the new system.Kai wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 3:07 pmIt doesn't have to be, you can record a short video of all the relevant settings prior to a clean install for a fast smooth transition.

Microsoft have said that they will support W10 until 2025, so there's no rush to upgrade to 11.
