Upgrade to win 11 ?

Post by spacef »

Hi all,
Windows 10 asked me to upgrade to win 11 v 24H2 and wanted your advice. Is it safe? should I wait ?

I wondered if there are anything uncompatible for DAWs, or if there will be a need to reinstall softwares (I believe it is the same, but thought I would ask here first).

For the moment I am happy with win10 except that some software won't work with Scope asio (such as immediate crash/blue screens, like DaVinci Resolve Free version that I wanted to use, which is annoying, but I guess win11 does not change anything? ).

Thanks

no big advantage, no huge disadvantage.

if the computer is used for a lot of web browsing i would update for the security updates, otherwise, i wouldn't bother. if there is software that does not work in win10, then i'd update as well.

Thanks Gary.
The only reason I would find win11 useful is for the new notepad with multiple page auto-restore :-) (not that it does not exist elsewhere but, well, that's nice). I think it's got MIDI 2.0 too (eventhough I don't need it).

I will upgrade my PCI Scope box to win11 by end of life. It is networked but not used to browse for anything but driver updates and this forum for device downloads

I must have clicked on the wrong button but my box upgraded to 11 ‘by itself’
It works as before and upon login I can chose between both versions, but only 11 works

I strongly recommend Notepad++. No need to update if that's your primary reason.

Security updates for Windows 10 and this year. That’s the only reason.
