[@smitty9398]

For me... I will wait until at least a year to allow for all the bug fixes, tweaks, and adjustments based upon consumer reaction to settle down. Thus far 11 does appear to have some nice features but it also has eliminated some features that I use regularly. I wish they would quit messing around with the start button and taskbar. My take... changes that are mostly a solution in search of a problem. (Sort of like the ribbon, which they are now removing in Explorer) Overall it appears to be somewhat dumbed down for the masses looking to emulate the Mac OS. One can resist the 11 upgrade for a time but at some point 10 will decay to the point many will need to make the move. I will be going with pro mostly to avoid having to deal with having to have an account to tie your machine back to the MS mothership. I wish there was a good way to run the apps I need in Linux well as I would have made that move a long time ago.

[@cherryartist17]

I got an Alienware in 2012 with Windows 7. It lasted me until 2023. I think that 11 years was the absolute longest time I could milk it. Now the lack of security updates and incompatibility with newer programs finally caught up to it. 😢

[@Dr.Deeeeeee]

did you get it?

[@THE-X-Force]

@@cherryartist17 Same for me. Built a great rig in 2011 and ran Win7 Pro until now when I am *_finally_* putting the finishing touches on a new machine, and with it a new OS. I was planning on going with Win10, but I've read that 11 is better at handling scheduling between performance / efficiency cores in intel 12th gen (and higher) cpus .. so time to take the plunge! I just need to weed out all the telemetry etc. Really excited to turn this thing on! Going from an i7-2600K to an i7-12700K .. from 16 GB of DDR3 to 64 GB of DDR5 .. from a SATA 3 7200 RPM platter drive to a Gen 4 m.2 2280 NVMe SSD .. I hope the difference is as startling as I think it should be! 🤞 It will be painful leaving Win7 behind. Without a doubt my favorite OS ever! But, at this point .. like you said, the lack of security updates (and support for newer hardware .. DirectX versions, etc) .. just have to move on! Best of luck to you. ☮

[@erdbeerschosch2839]

I have to correct you on one thing: TeamViewer isnt the same thing as Remote Desktop. If you want to use TeamViewer, the PC you want to connect to must be already logged in to Windows with a local user. Once youre connected to the other PC with TeamViewer you see it through the TeamViewer Window kind of like it was live streaming for you but with the addition that you can control it. This also means, that both, you and the user logged into your PC at home can see and to things at the same time. Remote Desktop however is used to actually log into the remote PC using a local user on the PC you want to connect from (or any user from your domain, if youre in one). So the local user on your PC at home must be logged out of Windows since you cant be logged in with two users at once. Im working as a IT supporter at a company and we have both Remote Desktop and TeamViewer and depending on the situation both programs can have their advantages.

[@andrewwmitchell]

Thanks. Recently installed Win 11 on an older i5 and it activated with Win 11 Pro so good to know about Sandbox and I've just turned bitlocker on too.

[@Rood67]

For all that is Holy; make sure you export your bit locker key. One BSOD, if you’re on a piece of crap Dell then one hardware component failure, and you’ll lose access to your data if you do not have the key.

What is the business reason for keeping two product lines? Linux and macOS don't make a distinction on a pro and also come with many of those tools (comparable).

Quick Question- I have a problem with my pc and I am not sure if its the pc itself or me not saving before turning off my pc. It's just that whenever I turn of my pc or monitor like everything like background, log in's disappears. It's really annoying needing to log in into my chrome accounts again and again. Also it bores me to see this plain background. The apps and downloads are there but not the other things and I am scared if similar things will happen to my artwork whenever I save it afterwards. I'm still new to this Pc thing and if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong it would help out a bunch.

Thanks for the video. I run a dual boot, Windows 10 and Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon. I like hearing about the many features of Window 11 Pro but don't think I am smart enough to use them or in need of them. I am 74 years old and have had a brain aneurysm burst. Then patched and then a shunt installed because the patch was leaking. It does sound neat to have the ability to run other operating systems. I would like to here more about running them from a USB flash drive like you can test drive Linux Mint. I am using a Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop computer with an Intel Core i7-7500U Processor. I take that to mean 2 cores. My Windows 10 got very slow. When I would turn on my computer it would be hours before it was fast enough to use. A lot of times I think Windows 10 used all of the CPU and hardly allowed me to use my own computer. So I got mad!! (1.) I bought a 14" HP Chromebook computer, (2.) Tried Linux Mint on a USB flash drive in the Dell laptop. It worked so good that I installed Linux Mint as adual boot and use Linux 99% of the time. I have an Android phone and use Google Chromium on the Linux Mint boot. I have the same Calendar, Contacts, Google Keep, and links to other Google apps on all 3. The 14" HP Chromebook computer, it is very fast but I still like Linux Mint the best. How many cores would I need in order for Windows to let me use my computer with out delay? I am considering buying a new 15" laptop with an i7 processor.

I am impressed, Kevin! There is such a big difference in the functionality of Home and Pro. Also you are my inspiration and I have learnt something for you. You have taught me to take advantage of the situation and adjust accordingly. Right now Windows 11 is the trend and you are uploading many Windows 11 videos and they are getting lots of views! And I remember this thumbnail from the word to PDF video. Looking forward to more such eye-opening content!

Good introduction to the product, thanks.

I was just wondering what is the difference between Windows 11 s and windows 11 home edition? As I am a beginner and don't know and the laptop that my friend wanted has apparently comes pre-installed with Windows 11 but it is a windows 11 s version. Thank you, Kind regards, Tom

[@davidfishwick5573]

S mode means that you can only install and run store apps. It is VERY restrictive (a bit like the Windows version of Chromebook). You can exit S mode by going through the store. This is free and it will switch you out of S mode. However, once you have switched out of S mode, you can NOT switch it back (without a clean install). It is a one way switch only.

If one has no practical use for Pro’s additional capabilities, is there any disadvantage to running Pro versus downgrading to Home?

Is Teams application that u install from Microsoft 365 subscription different from Teams that is pre-installed in Windows 11?

Hi Kevin, do you have a video about the importance of product keys in Windows, and what do you think is the impact on the future of the pc (if any) if you bought non-authorized key? Thank you!

[@jill9094]

Is there a way to go back to windows 10? It looks like 11 won't work with the printer and other items I have. I tried recovery but my system isn't offering that. Any help would be great!

[@sophierandrianavalona2556]

Thank you Kevin. What are the impacts of an installation of Office pro on a Windows home ?

[@KevinStratvert]

There should be no impact.
