Thats earlier than expected. That means Direct Storage is soon here for gaming!

Kinda of a duplicate in the off-topic section

Windows 11 will release on October 5th

Microsoft is announcing that Windows 11 will be released on October 5th. The new operating system will be available as a free upgrade for eligible Windows 10 PCs, or on new hardware that ships with Windows 11 pre-loaded. The free upgrade to Windows 11 will start rolling out on October 5th, but...

I still think it's sadly a while before we see games but hopefully we see some alpha's in the production software side.

Is this gonna launch with a new gamepass client?

I dunno about new but an updated one for sure.

 

[HermitSperg691]

I hope I can get it through the update assistant instead of waiting on rollouts. I didn't update to 21H1 until 2 weeks ago and I had to use the update assistant.

 

[iHaunter]

Hell Yeah. Excited for this one!

 

[Lux R7]

nice

 

[WitchHunter]

What will it report that W10 didn't already sent home? Like you plugin your USB it's serial gets sent home, plus timestamp.

 

[Luipadre]

So is this gonna be a big update for win 10 users for free?

 

[Relique]

So what's the consensus? Update or wait? I was on the early Win10 train and didn't really regret it. Everything worked alright without much issue.

 

[hemo memo]

Already on the public insider program and it is awesome.

I think it's usually a must to wait few weeks for drivers to be migrated at least

[Windle Poons]

Surprised there's not a Pre order NOW!1111! button.

Been running it on virtual server for a while now. It's pretty stable outside some tools for Admin specifics like Local policy editors not being 100%.

I thought Windows 10 was light compared to windows 7, 11 is a whole different ball game in terms of imprint.

Good to hear about it being light

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

Is direct storage coming with it, or at a later date?

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Super excited for this!!!!

 

[jaysius]

Can't run it because my PC is "too old" and their enforcing TPM Secure Boot 2.0 thanks MS, my laptop is just fine, what a dumb stumbling block to put in people's way. Yea yea, security whatever, are they saying Windows 10 is inherently insecure because it doesn't require that "feature"?

 

[reksveks]

Seems to be with it, they only highlighted the delay of the android apps.

You are treating it as binary where its more of a continuous binary (there probably isn't a 100% secure OS, just ones whose exploits haven't been figured out), but yes, it is less secure cause it doesn't have TPM. Also you can install it but they won't guarantee that every updates will come to you.

 

[Bonfires Down]

I assume the Game Pass client will still be trash.

And probably still no Explorer tabs, oh lord.

I can understand not getting updates that work with TPM, that makes perfect sense, but the way it's worded around the few shitty sources(the Verge) is that MS will bar you from the regular Windows Update stream, and MS isn't clarifying if this poorly written shit they put out is true or false.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Looking forward to it, but one of the first things I'm going to do is uninstall Teams. I have an irrational dislike of that product and them making it front and center to this release irks me.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I like it so far. Glad I took the steps needed to install the beta version.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

I only had issues with my monitor and PC going to sleep, just one time, and that was it. Everything else has been stable, and I've gained performance in just about all my games.

 

[nkarafo]

I just settled with Windows 10.

I'll try 11 in 2 or 3 years maybe.

Of course, its Windows 10 with a new paint job.. and Windows 10 has been rock solid for a while now.

People think this is some sort of a huge change, like xp to vista or something, when in fact its just a very nice service pack.

gg ms

 

[JCK75]

As a home user I'm very happy with Windows 10 , as an IT guy I think it's worse than 8..
Like just the inability to prevent it from replacing working drivers with ones that don't work during a windows update is maddening.. and now the printer situation is hell on earth.
"Hey Microsoft the Vulnerability was not the print nightmare, the fix was"

 

[dorkimoe]

I Expect some FPS dips for the first month in some games while everything is cleaned up with drivers and patches

 

[Celcius]

Day one

 

[DenchDeckard]

We are testing this at work ahead of full deployment and it's looking to be pretty damn awesome. Deffo upgrading day 1

 

[Orta]

Very much looking forward to getting this and patching it so its basically Win7.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I just want to know how soon after I can install unless I can trigger it or download an iso/updater for it.

 

[Snake29]

So what's the consensus? Update or wait? I was on the early Win10 train and didn't really regret it. Everything worked alright without much issue.

I would say wait for some weeks or months before upgrading. I have a feeling that a lot of the new features are not available in the first build.

 

[chigstoke]

Anyone know if the latest beta build of Win 11 has implemented the support for Easy Anti Cheat yet or is it still giving out errors when launching multiplayer games (Halo: MCC mainly)?

 

[Anki]

My cpu is not ready

 

[ResilientBanana]

Installing the Windows 11 BIOS update on my ASUS ROG Z370-E Motherboard later today. Can't wait for the update.

 

[Topher]

It is rock solid. Doesn't feel like a beta at all.

 

[GymWolf]

My computer just scratched his balls after hearing the news, is it a good sign?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I'm still getting over Windows 10.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Windows 11 looks much better than 10 UI wise.

 

[Droxcy]

Gonna give a shot today so if i can get the preview build looks sweet

 

[Kenpachii]

Will move over if gaming profits from it. Can't be bothered to reinstall my entire shit with everything for nothing.

 

[jonnyXx]

If I install the beta version will it be updated to the release version after Oct.5 launch, or do you have to reinstall?

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

If I install the beta version will it be updated to the release version after Oct.5 launch, or do you have to reinstall?

I think if you are on the beta branch you will still remain on that branch and you'll need to leave the insider program to switch to the retail version. Not sure if you can do an in-place upgrade or if you need to totally reinstall
