| Windows 11
Hi RS'ers,
Hope everyone is doing well!
So, out of curiosity, has anyone given Windows 11 a spin yet? I'm curious about the switch from Windows 10 to 11, but not sure I'm ready for it yet. 
Any input and experience with it welcome. Thanks!

Been running it on my personal computer for over a month.
No real issues with an i9-10850K.
Feels pretty much the same as Windows 10.
I think there are still some scheduler issues with Ryzen CPUs, so I'd avoid it if that's what you're running.

Currently using it on my work computer. I installed it when it became available. No bugs or issues.
Some functions that I'd normally use like "rename" is now hidden in a sub menu.
Snipping tool is now an app you need to download. I prefer old snipping tool, but it works.
It seems like the overall UI/UX is designed more with a touchscreen/tablet in mind than PC and more for newbs (similar to Apple). Even the design language for apps is apple-esque.
I have everything set up on the computer to have everything I need pinned to task bar or desktop, so I haven't needed to look in the start/app drawer yet.

Oh yeah, that reminds me.
The window now doesn't automatically show on top after snipping half the time. I have to manually alt-tab to it.
And the new context menu sucks.
More gripes than issues that BIC_BAWS reminded me.

Haven't had a reason to yet. If I find out that performance is significantly increased in some way, I'll consider it.
I used to be the type that uses beta and even pre-beta Windows, going all the way back to Windows 95, but not anymore  | |

I like the interface, however, I heard people encountering bugs. I'll probably wait until 2022 before updating.

I found a bug. FFS. I have no colour printing option on Windows 11 on any of my printers. You can only access colour options via Printer Properties, and it's only Greyscale or Monochrome. The button where it normally is in the Chrome Printer window is no longer there.
Universal print = one driver for all printers = no optimization
Fuck Microsoft IPP Class Driver.
LOL

You get to snip either a box shape toy your sizing, a free hand snip, or a complete screenshot. You can then Ctrl+V and it pastes into whatever you are working on. I use it multiple times through the day to show items through Teams.

Hmm joke's on me. For some reason I can't update my Surface to Windows 11 and it's likely because I have it it tied to my company's IT admin policy. The PC health check tool shows my device meets the requirements but it's not showing up as an option to download it via Windows Update.

Friendly 2022 bump.
I was eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade and download and installed it on my Surface Pro 6 today. Will update on any odd bugs and experiences in a few weeks or so.

So two day follow up:
So far so good. No real complaints. My only beef is I can't ungroup the task bar and I really liked that option because I often have to transition to other apps/screens regularly.
