When I built my new rig, I installed Win 10 again, but my license stayed with my old rig. I messed about and it’s simply sensational the speed of loading and gaming. So I seen that I could try Win 11 and not activate it and it would just put up an ‘activate windows’ prompt. (I know I can remove it through the reg) so Win 11 was even better in response to gaming and general win stuff, which shocked me as the amount of neg was nauseating. So I’m sticking with it, probably because I’ve got a 13th gen CPU and high speed M.2 of which I can install 4 in total (I have 4 with Frozr heat sinks) 2 x 3.5 and 3 x SSDs
I got a licence for practically nothing from kinguin. So this is going to be a brill feature.
As I said, my rig is clearly made for Win 11. MSI Tomahawk Z790 WIFI is Gen 5 PCI-E.

If you’re just doing gaming there’s no issues whatsoever.

I removed unnecessary bloat as well.

Yeah mate, I'm a kid in a sweet shop!
I have Mystique lighting connected to my CPU temp and it changes from Green to light/dark blue to Red (though it wont ever get past light blue!)

Even though i could only afford the RTX 4060 TI OC i'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 in 1440 using DSLL etc. (Even though i said i would never buy it) it was on a sale on CDKeys for £18.99 as opposed to £24.99 in sales elsewhere.

I'm 60 with a new lease of gaming life lol

Thanks to my lovely wife for this present!

BTW, Happy New Year to you Csimbi when it comes. I'll be gaming with a bottle in one hand!

"allows you to reinstall Windows 11 without losing any data or programs. "

Ooook. But i run installation of win 10 now and it will reinstall it and keep everything UNLESS i choose "fresh install" which then formats the space I select for the installation. The problem with "keep everything" is that sfc /scannow will repair windows if needed and everything in the registry that is creating potential problems, or apps, will keep creating problems. Reinstalling the Windows, avoiding "fresh, will not fix anything that sfc /scannow doesn't fix.

That feature is certainly interesting, but I don't trust Microsoft to even press a single key, let alone any solid OS recovery without data loss. I'm sure it'll be an unbelievable mess again. But they do marketing very well, I must admit.
