chicagorandy Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I decided to take a leap of faith and installed Windows 11 late this morning. It took 'about' an hour and happily it was a relatively painless and successful process. As far as I've been able to determine, 11 is quite similar to 10 in operation and cosmetics, and all I really needed to do was choose a new wallpaper picture for my deskotp as the default was just a black screen. I do admit to having some apprehension when I clicked the MSFS button on my taskbar but the sim fired up normally and a quick test flight around my 'home' airport - Chicago Midway - was uneventful. Hope springs eternal as I learn the new features and capabilities of Windows 11.

DLR_41 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I've been running it about a month now and find it to be stable, which is surprising. I got the Bing wallpaper app and get the new daily one...

kelvinr Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Yep no issues here either. Runs like a dream although I don't like the fact that you can't drag shortcuts into the Taskbar anymore but all in all pretty happy otherwise.

stusue Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I've been running Windows 11 for about 2 weeks and it's A ok. No issues at all. MSFS runs great on it.

nsproles Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I have been running Windows 11 for the past week or so. It took about 40 minutes to download. There were no problems with the download. MSFS runs well still under Windows 11 although it takes about 10 to 15 seconds longer to open.

cianpars Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Suggest that if you haven't already done so, update chipset drivers and maybe video driver as well.

cobalt Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Key question, for me: Are there any advantages in Windows 11 vs. Windows 10? If not, why update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLR_41 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Seems to be quicker but most importantly, I was using a RX 560 card and it ran a lot smoother after updating.

nsproles Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Key question, for me: Are there any advantages in Windows 11 vs. Windows 10? If not, why update? I did it because there will come a time when Windows 10 will cease to be supported, and an upgrade to Windows 11 may not always be free of charge. My PC is new and has quite a few years left in it still so I would most likely have to bite the bullet sometime. Now was as good an opportunity as any. From time to time I would get screens telling me that I could update, so, having done so, those messages are one annoyance out of the way. As it turned out it was no big deal. The UI is a little prettier but it is a big ho-hum otherwise.
