Hi simmers,
I have a notification to download/install windows 11. Have any simmers done this and has it caused any issues for MSFS?
No issues for MSFS.
Lots have already upgraded with no issues.
I upgraded with no issues and no change in performance.
I upgradedā¦
Taskbar started showing up either blank or with icons unusable.
Tried 20 different internet āfixesā, none worked.
Reverted to Win 10.
If it aināt brokeā¦ā¦
(When it did work, I saw no advantages re: MSFS)
As of this posting I can give no solid reason as to why you should āupgradeā and I say this as a dev build beta user.
You have plenty of time to update I would hold off. I run 11 and 10 on the same machine, I still like 10.
And you can tell the win 11 is good because theyāre already leaking info on window 12ā¦ROFL!
I looked at the lists of new features in 11 and saw nothing worth the time and risk of updating. I suggest you look at what 11 offers and then decide.
Iāve never been a fan / trusted Windows upgrades. Iāve always done a clean install (format the drive and install) which means a re-load of everything.
I have no issues on Windows 10 Pro so will remain there until forced off.
I run on Windows 11. Havenāt had an issue linked to the OS that I know of! The UI is different from Windows 10, but I like it.
Iāve clean installed all my PC and laptops with Windows 11 since July last year and Iāve been using it ever since. No issues with the computer or MSFS itself.
Itās up to you, whether you want to upgrade or not. But if you decided to upgrade. I would recommend to reformat and do a fresh clean install. To avoid any of the old junk files from clogging up the new OS.
I upgraded (not a fresh install) and my FS2020 went from an almost guaranteed CTD every flight to being bulletproof.
I donāt ask or want to know why, Iām just grateful
ps Now Iāve got used to it I think itās better than 10. My PC hasnāt run as well since I got it to be honest.
I will add, I havenāt cared for the layout of Windows since Windows 7. So I use Classic Shell to apply that look and feel / menu layouts.
Iām 3 computers in with windows 11 (2 upgraded and one new) and no issues at all. Smoothest, fastest and easiest Windows update yet (from 10->11). FS also runs fine on win 11 compared with win 10. Have been running FS on win 11 since October last year I think.
If it offers things you need then upgrade. if Win10 is working fine do not. Pretty simple really.
Yes I have been using it for a year On Dev mode without any issues
I have it on two PCs and no issues. I liked Win 10 but Win 11 is better.
This just in win 11 will be inserting commercial adds in file explorer. WooHoo cant wait! NOTā¦
Always update Iād say.
