Should you upgrade to Windows 11 or not
Let's see when it is a good idea to postpone the update, and when you should install it You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now..When to upgrade to Windows 11
- You need the most recent version of the system for some tasks. For example, you are testing some apps, or you are covering Windows like I do on this site.
- You find the new design of Windows 11 great, so you need it on your computer as soon as possible.
- You are great at troubleshooting, and you are ready to wait for issue solutions coming from Microsoft.
- You are always installing the most recent software. However, in this case you are most likely already a Windows Insider, and you run some Preview build from the Dev channel.
- You need some of the fixes that Microsoft added to the newest OS after 1.5 years of development and testing in the Dev and Beta channel.
Things that may stop you from upgrading
- When a new Windows version hits the market, it usually contains bugs. They may or may not be known. Despite the Windows Insider program and internal testing, issues are always there.
- Some of your hardware may have compatibility issues. The PC Health check tool and Windows 11 Upgrade assistant may not report them. There are hundreds of hardware configurations which are impossible to test at Microsoft and its patners. If you are a causal user who is not ready to solve these kinds of issues, it is definitely better to not rush to the update.
- Windows 10 will be You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now., so you can safely stay with it for long if it does its work perfectly for you.
- If you switch to the new OS, you should retrain your muscle memory. Some Windows 11 defaults could be unwanted. The You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

- In my personal opinion, there is no single feature in Windows 11 that you can't live without. Besides the new design, I see nothing revolutionary or feature-wise changed. Well, there are some You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now., but they don't play an important role to me.
Summary
If the stability of the OS is what you really need, here are my personal suggestions.- Wait for Microsoft to prepare Windows 11 for broad deployment. By that time, everything annoying and critical will be resolved. This process may take from a couple of months to half a year.
- If your device is compatible with Windows 11, wait for Microsoft to make Windows 11 available via Windows Update for your computer. There is no reason to be an early adopter and go looking for trouble, unless you are an advanced user.
- If your device isn't listed compatible in the PC Health Check tool, but is capable of running Windows 11 (and you are desperate to try it), install it a bit later, in a few months. Just give Microsoft time to improve hardware compatibility. Also, you should not wait for a newer Windows 11 stable release, as it can introduce more stricter hardware requirements.
