Now’t wrong with a 3080ti!

For what it’s worth I’ve upgraded two laptops from Windows 10 to Windows 11 absolutely painlessly. Possibly the easiest Windows upgrade I’ve done. The 2nd laptop I run FS on, and again no hitches observed. FS runs the same as far as I can tell on one version to the other. I have had one or two CTD’s recently (I had some in Win 10 too though) but I’m never sure if it’s add on related or not. The most recent one was the well known sound stutters first then CTD. I am however treating Win11 like Win10+ as I don’t see much difference from a FS POV. Windows 11 also for me boots a bit faster too, so I’m happy with it. You can also move all the taskbar icons back to left align so it looks more Windows 10 like, so I really have nothing bad to say about Windows 11. I can’t comment on NVidia driver compatibility as I’m currently using whatever NVidia driver HP tells me to upgrade to.

Many thanks

Thanks. I still get the odd ctd on 10 too, but with so much stuff connected it’s hard to track down the culprit and it might just be a sim issue.

As far as I can see there should be no issues. my wife has a similar Ryzen based system and she jumped right in to 11. she does not fly though so I can’t really get an more info other than it seems stable. Stil gathering info though as we can’t go back once done

I fly in VR and I had to revert to Win10 because of stutters with windows 11. It’s a known problem with VR-Win11 compatibility

The deed is done and everything is working perfectly in Windows 11. pretty impressed with bootup and app startup speeds, especially in flight sim. Pretty easy upgrade and I also found drivers for my Maudio 2x2 which has improved my sound a lot. thanks for the suggestions and if anyone is about to upgrade there is a little checklist I made to ensure things went well. I’ll post the main things here if it helps.

  1. Make sure you have Win 11 chipset drivers for your motherboard. Pretty sure that most of the manufactsurers will have these on the page for your board.
  2. if you have a lot of flight or driving stuff I just let windows deal with them and all my flight controls work perfectly.

Take a close look at the usual junk offered just after upgrade, you may not want most of them.

  1. clean up the registry after the install is finished and you have your stuff working. I had to run CC twice, backing up each time before I cleared it all.

That’s pretty much it…It was a smooth and easy process for me and since my system is a dedicated MSFS build all my concerns were fine. It just works!!!

Hope all goes well for others taking the plunge. my experience was a good one and I hope everyone else has a similar smooth upgrade.
yOU WILL ALSO NEED TO ENABLE tpm IN YOUR bios. yOU DONT NEED TO BUY A MODULE AS LONG AS your board has the facility and can be enabled, the module itself isnt required, just the BIOS setting. I also removed my overclock on my 5800X which was cocked to 5\ghz all cores. \\\i put it back after the upgrade.
