But as others said, maybe you should try Windows 10 first, I am surprised you have not updated, but then I licked windows 8 more than 10,

A strange habit - licking windows

LOL,

Booted brand new i7 11 Gen PC on Thursday with Win10 loaded. Once initialised it offered a Win11 update ... Not done yet but likely to do before I load all the other apps.

If you do then make a back-up of windows 10, but unless you really want to use Windows 11, I suggest you stay with 10, Explorer seems freeze far too often. i have been sorting out files on the NAS, internal and external drives and have had far too many freezes with explorer, it comes back, but still not great.
Getting very annoying as well since the send to option is buried in the right context menu.
i think MS still have a fair bit of work to do with Windows 11, and it should never have been released, but then we have seen that before with Microsoft, Windows 10 being the last one that should never have been released when it was.
it is, we will chuck it out there and try and sort out the problems after, seems to be a normal thing these days, certainly for Microsoft. No software is bug free, but there are some nasty bugs in Windows 11.

I will keep it on here until the end of the month just to see if it improves, but then Windows 10 goes back on.

You are probably right ...

even more problems, article from Beta news, Microsoft warns of new Windows 11 problems with apps using unusual registry keys

Also, Brother have put out about some of their printer having problems being recognised by Windows 11 via USB, my brother printer is not on the list, but I use Ethernet anyway.

It gets better every day

It's really no different to any other update of Windows (or Mac OS). There are always these odd problems with the early versions. Sensible people leave it to others to sort out the problems and only update when the x.1 or x.2 version is released; the bugs are normally ironed out by then.

As I've said previously, I've forced Windows 11 onto my old Lenovo T61 laptop (ancient T7300 cpu) and everything is working fine, I'll see if I will get any updates in the next few weeks:

Nice one!

I bought an almost new computer and unfortunately, my configuration does not support updating to windows 11. I'm really angry
