    Stay with 10.

    I have to use 11 for work and it sucks. The change to the right click menu is the best reason not to change.

        Sadly last time I messed with that stuff on my work win 11 machine it broke some compliance and virtualisation features of 11 and I had to get my system reimaged.

          I used it last time a year ago, and it worked for me, but I just needed some minor things, I’m ok with changes usually if they are sane, I can get used to it. Making a convoluted right click menu more sane is a good goal, hiding most of the items semirandomly is a bad solution.

          I used wsl2 back than a lot, and didn’t mess up anything for me.

        Does it let you set a vertical taskbar? I’ve been using StartAllBack for this and a few other things, but it’s non-free.

      Winutil by chris titus + rufus for flashing the image with local account.

      Winutil can even remove Edge using some cool script. Then tweak performance and upgrades, debloat with Bulk Crap uninstaller, install 7zip, VLC, Some more and you are done.

    Its really personal preference at this point. Windows 10 support will officially end for enteprise users in 2024, not sure about home versions. Add that the most recent update to 11 has enough features for people to jokingly refer to it as Windows 12 and I at least think its “safe”.

    Better is subjective. But it does have some improvements that I think are worth it. The UI changes (rounded corners , center task bar) are nice but you can change it back to left aligned if you want.

    Settings for simplified a tad , esp for things like static ip and dns. Y

    Windows remembers your monitor and window locations upon docking and undocking.

    Windows explore tabs are nice too.

    Overall I wouldn’t go back (I’ve tried) but if you look at the features and they aren’t worth jt then 10 is all you need.

    I haven’t had any issues with Windows 11 after running a debloat script (which I also use to install my 3rd party apps)

    in-place upgrades are a one-way trip to pain and suffering, if you’re curious about 11 you’re really better off doing a fresh install on a separate drive.
