My Motherboard the Asrock ab350 pro 4 does not support it, I can but a Module for the Motherboard but from some reviews its a hit or miss on if it will work and some say it likes to disconnect a lot, I just will not update to windows 11 till I do my next big update but linux with steam play just keeps looking better and if most people can not game with windows 11 and need to do a big hardware update to do it I really could see game devs moving over to linux for gaming, The only thing windows has going for it is gaming.

Look again. Manual says it should.

Cool, I grew to like Windows 10 a lot since it released, hopefully I'll dig this one too. I'll probably wait a little bit to avoid any release issues and get a more stable release update later.

Man you made me feel real old. My first windows version was 3.1 for DOS lol. I was 12 back then

I’ve always loved Windows (Except Vista and 8). Windows 7 was great. I like windows 10 too.

Tradition states that every 2nd windows release is total garbage. I hope this one doesn't fall into that category.

Honestly, I wouldn't take MS's own potato "checker" seriously. People had the same exact issues back with the Windows 10 free update on release (and plenty later), too. If your PC matches the base requirements in their compatibility page, it'll work just fine.

Either way, you wouldn't need to upgrade your motherboard anyways, this ain't Intel. You should be able to slap up to a Ryzen 3000 CPU in that mobo just fine, and chances are Asrock probably released a beta BIOS for Ryzen 5000 CPUs, too.

what ryzen cpu do you think I should upgrade to so I can go buy that, Iv been wanting an upgrade and better get that out of the way.

Well if it's free I don't see why not and I could always roll back to 10 if it's no good.I personally liked 8.1 alot though.

If you're just going to be gaming, a Ryzen 5 3600 would be perfectly fine (don't bother with a 3600x unless you find one cheaper than a 3600, they're basically identical). If your motherboard does end up supporting Ryzen 5000 (I would contact Asrock to double check that), buy a 5600x.

If you do more productivity stuff that requires decent processing power, 3700x/5800x are both good options.

But this is getting off topic now

Looks like I can run a Ryzen 9 with a Bios update if I'm looking at the right page.

I guess this is really just a facelift update for windows with some cool features added on. Nothing too different from how Mac os handles their updates.

Can we finally figure out the control panel situation? What's the point of the settings app if I'm going to end up in control panel anyways? Pick one or the other Microsoft

Nice, I will stick with windows 7

I'll stick to Windows 10, thank you. 11 looks like another unmitigated disaster.

The system requirements at least are an unmitigated disaster.

That being said, I feel like Microsoft has a cycle of major UI change and backlash, good OS, major UI change and backlash, good OS, etc.

Windows XP, good. Windows Vista, bad. Windows 7, good. Windows 8 and 8.1, bad. Windows 10, good. Windows 11... bad?

CallmeBerto · Jun 25, 2021

Errrr besides win 8 I never had an issue with the Windows GUI. I'll just wait for an official build before anything as it's not like there is a rush.

BraveDragonWolf · Jun 25, 2021

Another ooey and gooey interface? No....
Maybe I'll force myself to upgrade again when my laptop crashes...again.

Windows 8.1 was only good for me with third party software e.g. Classic Shell.

If I was forced to use ‘the UI formally known as Metro’ all the time, I think I would have just pirated W7. Last time I had to use stock W8.1 and it’s start menu, it felt like remembering a bad memory I had forgotten up until then.

W11 feels like another 8.1, by which I mean I MAY like it, but only after altering it e.g. replacement start menu.
