Dead Dell - going to Windows 11
-
So my 5 year old Dell XPS 13 laptop died over the weekend. It's out of support. My new XPS 15 laptop should be here this week and I'm going to bite the bullet and install Windows 11 on it. I ordered it with a Windows 11 Professional license.
Should work just fine with Windows 10.0.22000 - at least it does on my 1 year old XPS. I would do a clean install of Windows - doesn't take long on a new machine and then the Dell bloatware is gone. I am running DELL SupportAssist on mine as I needed some driver updates some time ago and they where faster than Windows getting them out... and I did not have to download and install drivers manually as a peasant :cool:. But I would not install it today unless there is something not fully working or detecting. Windows Updates will even push optional firmware updates to you.
