The high processor requirement is BS in my opinion. I have a i7 6700k and I'm running the OS without any issues whatsoever, although the update tool tells me that my system don't meet the minimum requirements.
If what I read is correct when 11 goes final everyone on 11 that is using a "unsupported" cpu will be updated backwards to 10... or maybe I'm misunderstanding it.. not sure.
Feeling enticed to run it, how’s the insider build for just gaming? Also is there a way to install W11 without signing in your Microsoft account or going from W10 to 11, and just doing a clean install of 11 only? Perhaps with the leaked iso from 2 weeks ago?
As long as you don't have Win11 Home then you can get setup without needing to use a MS account, it will pester you several times to log-in but keep declining the offer and head for offline account. Create your own updated iso from uup downloads, choose your language and hit next ->choose your edition (personally I'd uncheck them all except Win11Pro) -> next -> choose to download and convert to iso and then just get the package download unzip and run the windows batch to pull the files and create your iso. Once done, install at leisure
When I upgraded to Windows 11, the Windows 10 taskbar remained. I would like to go the other way around... enable the new taskbar.
I actually quite like the Windows 11 taskbar provided its on the left. The icons at least show whats open and active in their own way guess its the same as 10 but I dont like the line or grey on 10s taskbar
Ya I was wonderin' too, I use on 10. Stardock probably a bust too. Don't care yet won't be using 11 soon.
High CPU usage... well. I stumbled into this when running insider builds and now I'm facing the issue that, rather frequently, I do get low GPU usage. It seems to go hand in hand with CPU performance I'm missing from the additional cores, something between 30-50% roughly. Sometimes performance is fine before I turn off the machine and once I turn it back on the problem is back. Sometimes it happens after a map change or during a new benchmark run, I can't really pinpoint it yet. Power gets drawn, temperatures are fine, performance is erratic.
I find it interesting that with the Windows 11 new CPU requirement "Supporting new features on the CPU" that Windows 10 and 11 have almost the exact same benchmarks on newer CPU's. Windows 11 vs. Windows 10 Performance: Gaming and Applications | TechSpot
