WINDOWS 11

[JIM GIBB]

Hi All, I'm thinking of going to windows 11. Any advice?

[Rodulf]

Me, too. At some point it will be unavoidable.

I am Windows 11 and have had no issues

I have a second machine running Windows 11 for testing, while keeping my primary workstation on Windows 10. But I've found no problems with 11, other than Windows itself being more annoying to use (hiding/removing "power user" settings, and over-simplifying everything). Reaper itself runs exactly the same. If I were forced to update today, I don't think I'd miss a beat.

Reaper will be fine... your general experience of the OS... another matter. Personally, I spent a long time getting it to behave as much like win 10 as possible with various tweaks. Most recently, I used "win-11_debloat_junkctrl" "oando shutup" to turn off a bunch of useless crap.

Thusfar (about 6 months in), I haven't found a single positive reason for using win 11 over win 10. At the same time, I don't have any problems and for general use and a bit of Reaper as well as programming tasks, it's fine as long as you stay away from the app store whenever possible!

That said, I'll soon be doing a fresh install for 100% audio/visual work and intend to use a heavily de-bloated version of Win 10 1709 -- which was the last version that really allowed you to turn off stuff you really don't need.
