Not into it but it should be fine, and the old exe probably still works. The new snipping tool isn't terrible either.

I do not work in techy systems stuff, but I'm at my PC for lots of work including video/audio editing and production, and for me Windows 11 has been pretty good so far. I do find that the new layout is cleaner, less cluttered and helps me focus a lot better when I'm at work, although the frosted glass widget pane is a bit useless (there's no way to remove elements from it???? I do not want or need a stock tracker????) so that was first to go. Taskbar icons seem to have better integration for stuff like notifcations/progress bars/etc. System tray notifications seem better so far. The xbox/gamepass app didn't work for a while, which did almost make me fall back to 10 but they've patched it and it's doing fine for now. I prefer the look, feel and sound over Windows 10, for sure. Never really used multiple desktops previously, but I'm tempted to give it a go now because of how they bring it all to the forefront. We'll see. But essentially if you're a schlub like me who types for a living, Windows 11 is kind of cool. I mean, they could have just updated Windows 10 to allow you to put the taskbar in the middle and make everything quieter and more focused (which I guess to an extent is all this is). I was kind of excited by the prospect of a revamped Xbox side of things, because gamepass has been so awful historically, but it seems like a lot of small patches and bug fixes instead of a big overhaul, which I guess is kind of a shame.

My hot take is that paint's major strength is that it provides a very simple and very fast platform to do common photoshop-like tasks (crop, draw, move, highlight). As long as that's not compromised, they can add features or whatever. Paint 3D compromised it super badly. It *looks like* they didn't gently caress it up here, but MS seems to always find a way to gently caress it up, so we'll see.

Loading it fresh onto my Surface Laptop 3 right now, then this beast next. When booting from USB, touch or built in laptop inputs had no effect, and I thought it was just frozen. Plugged in my old Intellimouse Optical and it worked straight away

Huh neat, it appears mine changed over to the full release build without me telling it to and without restarting. Honestly other than the dumb rear end task bar changes I've been enjoying 11 so far. The look and feel is nicer and they've made a few improvements here and there that I've really liked. AutoHDR seems to work pretty good too although maybe I should turn it off since my monitor has really basic HDR. Much smoother than Windows 10's handling of HDR.

If you install over Windows 10 and use a local account Windows 11 will use the same account, or at least it did for me.

I just realized the one device I own that I might be willing to try Windows 11 on is an old Toshiba tablet that I upgraded from 8 to 10 a couple years ago, but it's got an Atom processor and almost assuredly doesn't meet specs for Win 11.

I know its probably better to do a clean install, but I really don't want to. Hard to say, i'm sure, but updating from 10-11 through the tool won't affect performance too much, probably? Also, I have 'differently acquired' versions of microsoft word and excel. I'm guessing these won't work on 11.

Odd situation here. A few months ago I gave my dad an old GPU of mine, a Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB Boost. Even on my previous machine I was able to have Secure Boot enabled (Ivy Bridge era). I built him a new machine a few months ago, a Ryzen 5600x on an MSI B550-A Pro. I wasn't able to enable Secure Boot because it says the GPU doesn't support GOP. He uses 3 monitors but we had only one plugged in when trying to sort this out. I'm confused as to why we're having this problem. Should we try a different output port on the GPU?

Aside from the issue above, I got it up and running in no time on both my custom desktop and SL3. Watched a movie after so haven't dug too deep, but got steam and everything installed. Battle.net launcher was weird though and wouldn't download for me, kept failing at the last hurdle. I've been like 3 versions of windows waiting for them to make it so the thing doesn't loving wake on its own when I put it to sleep, but still waiting. Was awake at the sign in screen when I got up this morning. Gonna be a while getting used to god drat grouped taskbar icons. Hopefully they'll fix that blunder

The only feature I semi-routinely miss from MSPaint is an ability to arbitrarily rotate by any angle, rather than just the cardinal coordinates. Selections and the full image. That'd be a nice QoL improvement. The other one I can think of which would be nice, but I rarely find myself wanting it, is the ability to pick a colour during selection to make that colour the transparent part of the selection. Doesn't need to be aliased to a colour range, just a single RGB value would be enough.

Upgraded this morning and liking it so far. It seems a little more responsive than 10. The first thing I did was move the start menu to the left. The rounded edges on windows will take a little getting used to. I don't care too much for the new Start Menu. I know I can edit the registry to get an old style menu, but I wish they gave you an option to always display all apps.

If people haven't realized this new virtualized security bs is perfect for creating a DRM platform that is uncrackable. Imagine porting a game from Xbox to pc. Now you can be assured those dirty pirates arn't going to hack your game and throw it on piratebay.

MS Store already encrypts the content of the installer folder and it leads to the scenario that you cant run mods on it. Not a whole lot of games allow for direct modding now but the next TES not having that would suck incredibly.

I would group apps by each other that I would use together, like XIVLauncher, Exitlag, and Advanced Combat Tracker. I tried to see if I could do something with snap groups but only ACT has a window resize button that is required to set them up.
