When I upgraded my main computer, I got an i9. Later I upgraded my secondary computer, but kept it on an i7, at a considerable lower cost. Surprisingly, the i7 chip I got performs noticeably better compared to that particular i9. When I checked the benchmarks for both processors, I confirmed what I noticed using the computers. So be more careful with your selection of processors than I was. You might get a better bang for your buck on a good i7 compared to an i9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the doubling of RAM that really interests me. I will certainly be doing a lot more research before I make a final decision. That may even involve looking @ Crapple Macinsplosh latest processor options. 🙀😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritSparrow Skydancer Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) I had a flawless upgrade and the only issue I had was it broke filter forge photoshop filter. They released a fix very quickly (days) and I am happy with the system so far. (I got some real issues with Photoshop non use of 3d though) Edited February 18, 2022 by LittleSparrow Skydancer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee Pancake Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I have it on secondary test machine .. and hate every second I have to use it. Can't say I love 10 if I'm honest but it does at least work reliably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindal Kidd Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 You have a 10 day window in which you can revert back to Windows 10. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromFranzic Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 So far, Windows 11 has run fine for me since last October 2021, in some cases even better and smoother than 10... and with some notifications turned on LOL! I use it with work apps and some AAA game titles that simply won't run with Wine in Linux. 11 is also my only choice to run some CAD programs... this is one area where Linux lacks decent programs for daily use IMO. Running Win11 hasn't changed my preference for running SL/Open Sim in Linux most of the time. The overall performance/stability difference isn't great I'll admit, but I usually get a few more fps in Linux. YMMV! Now it would be nice if Nvidia open sourced its drivers in Linux for users like me running 10 series GPUs (and maybe a little older like 9-8-7 ... eh).

Eddy Vortex Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 My 3 year old desktop doesn't meet the minimum requirements to upgrade to Win 11. So I'll continue to use Win 10 until they stop support in Oct 2025. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shireena1 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I have posted about this before, that there are certain workarounds you can do to get windows 11 installed on unsupported hardware, you will have to research this, its no secret actually, but I will state right now that there is NO guarantee that you will continue to recieve windows updates, and no continued updates for old drivers, so really, upgrading an incompatible older computer for business use is not in any way recommended, but it is possible to do.

Coffee Pancake Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 SL does run on Windows 11 .. perfectly fine. The problem is that Windows 11 is a hot mess, especially if you use explorer or have an ultrawide monitor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
