windows 10 or windows 11? that is the question

[chiliwili69]

Currently my system is:

 

OS: Windows 10

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X

Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus B550 Pro

RAM: 2x16Gb DDR4-3600 CL16-16-16-36 Gskill TridentZ F4-3600C16D-32GTZR

GPU: Gigabyte 3080  (I use Valve Index, so that card is quite enough)

CPU cooler: NZXT Kraken X-52

PSU 1000W

 

Next week it will arrive new components to upgrade:

 

CPU 510€ : Ryzen 7800X3D   

Mobo 255€: ASUS PRIME X670-P 

RAM  215€: 2x16Gb DDR5-6000 CL32-38-38-96 GSkill TridentZ5 Neo F5-6000J3238F16GX2-TZ5NR

 

My question is : What windows should I choose? 10 or 11?

 

Will the drivers of the Mobo/CPU will depend on the windows version?

Is there any issue with 10 or 11 for that new chip?

Any issue with windows 11 and IL-2 in VR?

you could always install both as a dual boot if you have enough nvme space

https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am5/x670   - you have to use specific win version drivers, they will always be the same version for both OS

you should not have any issues with win11 - make sure you've updated mbo bios for latest agesa version available though, it always kind of important with 3d cache cpu's

 

congrats on the new system ^^ - looking forwards to see the difference in performance from 5600x

I updated from 10 to 11 on my new PC a couple of months ago - didn't notice any significant difference but also seems to have no problems running IL-2/VR on 11.

would be interesting to see if something like this helps at all ....

Just note, you'll want to look up the Windows 11 godmode folder. 

 

Aside from it really wanting to tell me how awesome it would be if I let it automatically sleep USB ports it thinks I'm not using when I'm trying to find the menu to change the case power button from "Power" to "Sleep", it basically works as well as Windows 10, just with better (actually functional) HDR support.

 

It also just feels like I've got a box of the very annoying brand of Jehovah Witnesses along with the OS.

Im not sure in 10' , but in my 11' , after new CPU and so on - W11 up to date 

In Joblist  my DWA ( desktop windows manager ) use a lot of memory 

So I right-click / details - right-click /  prioiti - to normal or low 

I restart but maybe not necessarily 

I do it every time before game , course can't say how many turn on/off before it change prioiti to the normal - High

You've got quite the system upgrade in the works! Both Windows 10 and 11 are solid choices, but considering your new components, Windows 11 might be a better fit. It often has better support for newer hardware and features.

 

In terms of drivers, they generally depend more on the hardware than the Windows version. Manufacturers usually release drivers that are compatible with both Windows 10 and 11. But do check for driver updates once you make the switch to ensure everything runs smoothly.

And if you ever decide to go with Windows 10, check out windows 10 pro key. It's always handy to have alternatives.

Windows 10 for me as I lose FFB in Windows 11 with the Sidewinder 2 FF stick.

Interesting. I use the same stick and have noticed no difference when using either Windows 10 or 11.

I am not the only one in my squadron but it does appear to be random with W11.

 

Microsoft were of little help and was informed that the stick does not work with W10 and W11...

Hey! Congrats on the upcoming upgrades! With your new components, definitely go for Windows 11. It's optimized for newer hardware and might offer better performance. As for drivers, they should be compatible with both versions, but it's always good to double-check. If you're worried about compatibility with IL-2 in VR, you can find windows 11 cheap keys here. Good luck with upgrading!
