Realistically there shouldn’t be any difference. Nothing about moving to 11 should be directly capable of influencing performance, but you might see some differences due to background usage. In either direction.
Runs fine i dont see any difference with DF since its new, i would imagine its made for 11 … this post is from 2021 so that might of been a problem back then
I don’t like windows 11 but with that said I haven’t had any big issues I’ve been unable to fix. It just feels like windows is dumbing down every generation and hiding things that used to be normal.
Windows 11 is awesome. Ive had zero issues and i have no idea what bloatware people are talking about.
Everything works great and is easy to find. If you play 4k HDR 10 i suggest win 11. I had issues with it in win 10.
Performance gain would be very, very minimal for wow. Newer games see a bigger benefit although its not much.
Updated about a month ago.
Zero issues.
No issues with windows itself. Had a bad Nvidia driver that corrupted but that is unrelated.
I didn’t even realized I upgraded to 11, and so far no major issues. Maybe some stuttering in particle-heavy raid encounters, but that is probably due to my graphics card and settings. The only major issues I know about regarding World of Warcraft is DirectX12.
That is just the raid, happens to everyone regardless of OS or hardware.
I was forced into upgrading to 11 through getting a new PC during a sale in Tax Season. I see no issues with running WoW whatsoever. And while it takes some getting used to, the new OS doesn’t seem all that bad so far.
Another question: Should I upgrade from w10 or do a fresh install of w11? Would it make a difference? Either option is open to me at this time.
I bought a new machine that came with Windows 11 out of the box.
I’ve had no problems with Playing WOW or ESO with Windows 11.
Not all Windows 10 systems can upgrade to 11, the CPU has to be at least Generation 8 or it can’t run Windows 11
It’s less this, and more a way to allow software to hardware lock your system. Part of the reason that Win11 requires it is that they can lock a specific license to a specific piece of hardware and prevent a disk with Win11 from booting after being placed into a different set of hardware. This also happens to prevent the use of a single software license from being used across multiple sets of hardware.
Interestingly most systems already make use of TPM to some degree, it’s just that 2.0 allows for software interactions below the hardware layer (Say at the Kernel or Software level) where TPM 1.X ostensibly only works at a hardware level.
2.0 is/was touted as a way to prevent Ransomware when used in conjunction with drive encryption as well but I seem to remember something about that being a red herring.
Anyway, most mainboards that have come out in the last 4 years have some form of TPM on it already, and in a lot of cases you can flash the firmware to get to 2.0.
That said I won’t be going to 11 until I absolutely have to personally, but that’s only because I learned long ago to skip the evens and technically Win11 is Win10 because Win10 is really Win9. 3->95(4)->XP(5)->Vista(6)->Win7(7)->Win8(8)->Win10(9)->Win11(10)
If you can do a clean install I highly recommend doing so.
Think of it like this: A house burns down you can either clear the rubble first, or build directly on top of it. Which of the two is generally going to be more stable?

The only thing that I noticed that is different is that when you tab out in Windows 10 and a que pops or someone whispers you or you get attacked and the icon for WoW starts flashing orange, in Windows 11 that orange flashing is very vague and easy to miss
But you can get used to it and it is fine.

Regardless of how wow goes on it, I dont advise on doing it. Not for now at least.
I upgraded one of my PCs to my endless regret.

I runs fine. I have had 0 issues with Windows 11. I personally prefer the overall interface of Windows 11.
