Windows 11 comes to town!
-
I've been debating about switching.

I spotted a huuuuuuuUUUUUUUuuuuge problem with Windows 11. All the windows have a new rounded corner. But my pet project app (using custom Window chrome from MahApps.Metro) still has a square border! :sigh: :doh: mm... I can probably get rid of MahApps.... It has a nice title bar though... (that and some minor restyling is all I use, and I mean minor)

Your app might need some kind of manifest.

it doesn't seem that different at first glance (except the taskbar is locked at the bottom now :/ ) But I trust it extract even more performance from the hardware... Although I heard bug report to the contrary, it was marked as urgent bug...

Thanks for reminding me why I haven't switched yet. :-D

They are. I'm thinking about all problems that you might or might not get with updated programs and settings and such. From experience, I prefer a clean slate for new major versions.

I do too. I just don't want to spend the money on Win11. It's not even that I can't afford it. It's the principle. I bought Win10 (again) back in january when i bought my machine. At this point it just seems like throwing good money after bad if I make that purchase.

Nope. It's just not supported yet.... [Windows 11 integration · Issue #4140 · MahApps/MahApps.Metro · GitHub](https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro/issues/4140) In a few month, when the important stuff in my app works... I might see if I can contribute :)

I always get the license with my hardware. So I guess you're using a VM. In that case you could probably make a copy of the VM that you can upgrade, then create a new VM and move that license to it. Would have to check the license agreement to make sure though.

only in some case with some hardware... I think, I forgot the name, but those SSD that look like a memory chip, are supposed to be slower. Got one on as my main drive though, not noticing anything (not that I am taxing the system anyway) (by supposed to be, I mean it's a bug, of course)

I have home. I used to always upgrade to pro until i realized there's no point.

Yeah, I run NVMe. If they slowed that down they can take a running jump. I'll wait for them to fix it as I tear the crap out of that drive.

No, I got it with my hardware. I consider that buying it, particularly since I had the option of No operating system, or linux or windows pro (each for different $$$ - well linux was free) when I purchased the system.

There are some points that might not affect you. But the good news is that there's a clean install option when upgrading.

Oh, that's good to know. The issue for me then is losing all my stuff. Although I keep my Documents/Photos/Videos/Music mapped to my D: drive so at least I won't lose that. Still, moving an OS is a huge amount of work. I think I'll wait for 11 to mature some.

I believe this:Free Backup Software for Windows | AOMEI Backupper Standard[^] is the one Griff usually recommends to make a complete backup of the drive.

I wouldn't need a backup of my drive so much as something that keeps all my programs and stuff installed. It's not going to happen. That means at least a day of rebuilding my environment.

Then an upgrade would be better.

Or I'll just wait for this install to get creaky and slow like they always do, and then spend the time rebuilding the environment. :) That's what I usually do.

For me that usually coincides with getting a new computer.

I go through software a lot quicker than hardware. I buy higher end systems that will last me 10 years. I don't like replacing my machines.

Well I need to be able to support my systems even if I'm on vacation (Luckily that never happens, but anyway) so I need to use a laptop. They seldom last ten years. Mine usually lasts five (with extended warranty).
