It's looking like Microsoft are getting ready to release a brand-new version of Windows very soon this year, they are doing some kind of big reveal event this month on the 24th, it is highly possible that the new version of Windows could be called Windows 11, I've seen a demo video of it on youtube and I like the new look of the new version of Windows, here's a link to the demo video:

So that's a new file manager? Does it come as an RPM? :pQuote:

Reading through the link I have a feeling of Win 8 all over again or worse Win MEQuote:

It is starting to look like I'm going to have to seriously look at buying a new motherboard next year, Microsoft are going to be ending Windows 10 support in 2025.
I would be very cautious of jumping onto a new OS just because it's the latest thing. There are many issues that need to be ironed out in terms of drivers etc. for many of the hardware and software especially involved in audio production. My advice would be to wait and make sure everything is 100% supported and working before jumping boat. There is plenty of time and just because an OS is "no longer supported" doesn't mean that it stops working for what we rely on it for.
What Bakersdozen said ^^^. Just because it's no longer supported doesn't mean you can't keep using it, as long as you take sensible precautions.

After reading reviews from some of the testers I'll be waiting for 11.1
I've got Microsoft's official release of Windows 11 up and running on my Acer Aspire 5 laptop, using it right now to post this, seems to be running pretty well, had some headaches getting some devices working in Device Manager, but everything seems to be working fine, haven't had any major issues so far.
It would appear that neither my PC or laptop will run Win11 according to the MS tools but both exceed their minimum specs
Makes one wonder
Doesn't make me wonder. In his book, Bill Gates was the first person (at least that I know of), to use the term "obsoleting." That's right, friends, Microsoft is responsible for obsolescence becoming a verb. That's how you know it's not a conspiracy. They tell you up front what they're up to.Quote:

And then waits and waits until your tracking multiple valuable takes in one session to present you with the BSODQuote:

As if that wasn't bad enough, just after Boxing Day last year, my acer laptop died, my studio PC died, and my Polaroid 65 inch UHDTV died, so that's four of my electronic devices that went faulty in a row, think I must have been jinxed or something....lol.
Sorry for the digression, anyway, last week, I ordered some new PC hardware from my local Leading Edge Computers shop, picked them up earlier this week, and I used them to build a new studio PC that is running Windows 11 like a dream, I'll start a new thread about it in the Home Recording Forum, cause I think you might be interested in the juicy details of the new studio PC build.
Update:
Ever since I installed Microsoft's latest version of Windows, Windows 11, on my new studio PC, I have had practically zero major issues with it, it has just worked and stayed rock solid, I love it to bits.
Any new full OS install is normally very stable to start with. It’s once it’s had various new programs and updates installed that things start to slow down a bit and get a bit glitchy due to imperfect removal of old versions and registry errors.
Win11 initially went fine on my machine but then started playing up after a couple of months. MS support were of very limited help (putting it politely) and I ended up having to do a completely wipe and reinstall of everything.
Have previously had no issues with updating early in the cycle but just sticking on W10 for now.
Recently did a clean install of Windows 11 22H2 (Official Release) on my new studio pc, so far, I've had practically zero major issues.
