    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I tried searching but the search bar kept tossing the "11"! Admins please relocate if necessary.

Anyway, I want to pull the trigger on Windows 11 but want to check with You guys to see if I should anticipate any issues. My specs are in my sig. The install is an "UPGRADE" rather than a clean install from scratch.

Any thoughts?

Why? You seem to have a very decent PC, & W11 is optimized for newer hardware.
All the sims work well in W11.
 
Thanks Robin. As you noted, I don't believe there will be any hardware issues. My point is that I want do an upgrade install rather that a clean install so that I didn't have to reinstall all of my apps and sims, etc.

AhhA.. Sorry, I thought that 'pulling the trigger' meant dumping it.
So, I've done both, updating/upgrading & a fresh install (at different times.
I would go for it & do an upgrade from Windows 10 & hope that all goes well.
so, as they say.. “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst”

I'm running an Asus Ryzen 7 16GB W11 laptop with a 500GB SSD, NVIDIA RTX3050.
I'm running my sims, FS9 & P3D off a 2TB portable drive.
 
Oops! Sorry. I guess I shouldn’t have used slang. I just upgraded my wife’s laptop with no issues. Was hopeful of doing the same with my desktop but just thought I’d check here to see what others’ experience might have been.
