Windows 11 is now Available
Microsoft releases Windows 11 last week and people all around have had their opinions from it’s good to not so much like I have said. It just isn’t worth it right now to upgrade. You have to worry about encryption of the HDD to having a TPM installed on your system. All these requirements doesn’t mean it is any safer than before. I know that Microsoft is preaching how this will help increase security in their OS. I personally think it is just a lot of hot air, any security that they might think will help, will eventually have some hacker or virus get around. It is a good idea for the short term but maybe no in the long term. We’ve seen blogs talk about how it isn’t worth it and others where Microsoft talked about all these things that will come along but have yet not even seen anything on Windows 11.
Upgrade Woes
Even if you wanted to upgrade, you still have to go through a lot of system preparation for you to even upgrade to Windows 11. You’ll need to enable TPM if you have it and also you will then need to make sure you have UEFI enabled. This also makes you to turn your hard drive partition from MBR into a GPT to be able to use Windows 11. This a lot of system just to use Windows 11. I am hopeful that Microsoft will release a good tool to help you with this issue because I am sure most systems don’t even have GPT being used in Windows 10. Microsoft has said in the past that you can avoid some of this if you install Windows 11 on a new system because you don’t have to encrypt your hard drive or use TPM. So downloading Windows 11 might work for some of you but I am little hesitant due to Microsoft saying that may not support them in the future but I don’t see this being the issue because of the security risks involve.
Should you upgrade
This has been the question for most people around the world. I’ve seen people wonder if they should upgrade. I say probably not right now, due it being so new. There are still problems and nothing is that compelling to install Windows 11 unless Microsoft brings on something so compelling that you will want Windows 11. If they supported DDR5 and helped make the system faster, I am sure it would be something that might compel people to upgrade to Windows 11. I am sticking with Windows 10 ]until I have to consider upgrading or installing a Linux Distro. I am going to say just wait and see what happens in the near future. Only you can really know for sure if you should upgrade. Are you going to upgrade or are you going to wait? Why Not leave a comment and tell me what your thoughts are about Windows 11.
