Upgrade Win10?

Browncoat

SOH-CM-2023
I’m still on Win 10 on my rig. Time is running out till I hit end of life on it. Are there any immediate downsides for CFS2 if I make the jump from 10 to 11?
 
Yo BC;

I'm running Win11Pro, an altered .iso, non standard install (no TPS etc.)
Pretty much the same old crap with better security & a new Main menu.
Maybe need a couple of addons/tweaks if you use Mission Builder.

- "print screen" key now brings up the "snipping tool" & creates multiple screenshots.

No real issues in continuing to run Win10 after the end of support.
I strongly recommend using premium aftermarket Anti-virus & VPN like Bitdefender, Norton etc.

I ran Win7 for several years after the end of support without any problems. (AVG then Bitdefender)
Don't let the Microsoft rhetoric scare you ... this is all about corporate profits.
MS only makes $$$ when everyone buys new PCs.

Browncoat: I've been running cfs2 on Win 11 since April and except for a few easily overcome glitches, it runs fine for me on Win 11 Home (a new computer without Win 10.).
 
I appreciate the replies. I will hold on to Win10 for a bit more. October is a bit away. I am not concerned my hardware supporting it. I am just not that jazzed about having to deal with the gremlins that an upgrade will inevitably bring.
 
As Dirtman said. Don't lets Microsoft's rhetoric scare you. If all you use your PC for is basic web browsing and old games there is no point in jumping ship right away and as long as someone keep a web browser working I don't see a point in jumping ship at all really. I still rock a nearly 15 year Win 7 every day and it works just fine beside Discord because they are asses as soon as the last Google Chrome version for Windows 7 was put out the blocked it.

Granted I have moved to "Lose 10" a lot more over the past year and half but that is because I have been building things in the Unity game engine. I have no plans to downgrade to "Lose-er 11".

Edit: It has been a year and whatever block Discord added for Chrome 109.5 has now been removed Now I don't have to email my self things when I need to post something to Discord that is on the Win 7 PC. Also do NOT let anyone convince you that Discord is better than a forum. The loss of community knowledge when a forum is killed for a cheap Discord sever is shocking.
