DO NOT DOWNLOAD AS OF YET.

it's not ready, I don't know why it was released when there's all these issues! I upgraded and had alot of freezes, slow loading times where as on windows 10 my pc nothing wrong with her until a couple of days in my computer says ''sorry but your PC ran into a problem''. I was never able to fix it, this was a £2K PC!!! it broke my audio drivers for days until the above message killed my PC! NOT HAPPY AT ALL.

if you have an expensive computer DO NOT upgrade unless you want to kill your entire machine.

    Same thing happened to me this is the second time Windows 11 has completely broken my computer so I'm about to find some way to get a Windows 10 bootable drive and go back to that screw windows 11. So not worth it in the end and it's like they don't care to fix the issues that they keep causing.

    So how do we get our money back from Microsoft?

    Win11 upgrade worked great - until i made the mistake of rebooting. Then it said 'something happened' to my PIN, and couldn't connect to WIFI so I couldn't login.

    Also noticed I had to hit the power button 3-4 times to even get my laptop to boot.

    Finally I tried rebooting, and after waiting several minutes my PIN magically started working again and was able to connect to WIFI. I thought whatever problem it was had resolved itself ... until the next time I rebooted.

    Now, under Windows 11, here is my new startup sequence for my Lenovo Legion laptop:

    1. hit power button repeatedly until PC boots. If this fails, disconnect power, hold down power for 1 minute, reconnect power and then power on.
    2. wait extended period of time for Windows 11 to boot, and then display the "Something happened and your PIN isn't available...".
    3. Attempt to reset PIN, only to be informed that internet access is required.
    4. Restart (and pray)
    5. At this point, Windows 11 usually boots correctly - my PIN works and I have wifi access.

    I'll go out on a limb here and say this Windows 11 release is not quite ready for widespread release.
