       Has anyone downloaded the new version Windows 11 to their computer?    Have you found any glitches?    When windows
10 came out there were glitches that eventually were ironed out.

I'm not a Windows user but from experience, I would always wait a couple of months before downloading a major upgrade.

Almost certainly, there are going to be updates and fixes and it takes a while for these to be finally ironed out. If I was thinking about going from 10 to 11, I would definitely wait for all the minor problems to be fixed.

From what I've heard though, Windows 11 is supposed to be very sleek.

Hi Halina,

No, am still running Windows 10, but thanks for the heads up. Seems 11 will be rolling out around November.

Maz,

Good advice, yes I always wait a few months because there are always glitches to a new platform, so after a few months they are usually ironed out.

Just reading up a bit, it will be strange having the start menu moved from the far left to the centre, will take some adjusting, I'm a creature of habit.

Cheers.

There are some pirated versions of Windows 11 out (from China) and for some reason, when I see something like this, I always think malware and such.

Official is always good and so is patience.
