Hi Joe, I would try to avoid it. I don't have any experience upgrading from W7 to W11 but I have from W7 to W10 and when I did they aways ran really slow, but up until now all my old computers that ran W7 had CPU's that would not run W11, have they made W11 compatible with more older CPU's?
BTW, my newer computer that runs W11 I am very happy with.
Hi Joe,
So the notebook I use to type up panel schedules and such,
had win 8.1 on it. It was slow out of the starting gate. It retailed for 389. But at the end of the year I bought the demo unit for just under 100.00 with tax. I upgraded to win 10 and didn't update the OS at all for a few years.. 3 or 4? Then I decided to update it for security reasons and was surprised what a monster msos turned into.
It's still slower that molasses in the dead of winter. But it serves it's purpose.
The sim machine I aquired from a customer who messed up the upgrade from 8.1 to win 10. It wouldn't boot up and after talking with me about the cost of fixing it They gave it to me and bought a new laptop.
It's a Lenovo i7, dedicated Nvidia graphics 4gb ram .
It runs very smooth both the OS and ms fs9, fsx and the Lockheed sim nicely with the settings pulled back a bit.
The surface, I use for entertainment. - music videos, movies. Audio files. Casting the video to a LG 43" NANO set. with a pair of Zealot S67 TWS. Speakers for the audio.
WOW. We've come a long way in music entertainment hardware since the days of my JC Penny MCS Stero amps and an 8 track or phonograph I had when I was 15 years young.
