epoch Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 FWIW I've experienced no issues whatsoever. In fact, I feel performance has improved, though that's completely anecdotal. My setup isn't too great either: Intel i7-8700K 32GB RAM NVidia GTX 1080Ti HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm normally one for fresh starts, but for Win11 I updated from Win10 Pro. You may prefer that route, because then you can easily roll back to Win10 (Settings->System->Recovery and choose “Go Back) if you aren't satisfied, as long as you do so within 10 days. After that, if you needed to go back to Win10 you'd have to install from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I did have some issues with WMR at first, but I seem to have found a workaround for those. Also, the Windows 11 version of WMR allows you to un-tick auto-start for WMR if you have a headset plugged in, which is a major improvement over Windows 10 if you ask me!

Full Refund Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I upgraded to an i5-12600k and installed Windows 11. DCS is fantastic. Big improvements (20-30%) over my previous i7-8700k and Windows 10 setup. Totally off topic, I just have to say thanks to the Eagle Dynamics team.

I'm sure that most of the improvement is because of the hardware you updated .. the difference that Windows 11 may give is minimal.

I would assume so as well, although the Thread Director feature of Windows 11 is (I'm told) necessary to extract maximum performance from Alder Lake CPUs.

I wouldnt know, as I use AMD rather than Intel, so my experience with them is limited ... but there have been benchmarks published that have left me rather cold about moving to Windows 11, for example: https://www.techspot.com/article/2349-windows-11-performance/ I was forced to move from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 when the Oculus Rift software stopped working on the older Windows .. now I will probably do the same and delay any upgrade until I feel a real need to do so.

I agree waiting is generally wise. Microsoft always seems to take a while to sort out its new OS. Of course left to my own devices I'd probably still be on XP. Hey, it worked! For Alder Lake CPUs the Windows 11 Thread Director distributes tasks between the performance cores and the efficiency cores. Windows 10 won't do that. But if you don't have an Alder Lake CPU the benefit isn't there. There's nothing about Windows 11 that impresses me.
