    Windows 11

    What say the community about switching to windows 11 before the start of the January 2025 filing season?

    I know the end of life date for Windows 10pro is 10/14/2025. Is the smart money on getting it done early?

    My opinion is to wait until after the 04/15/2025 filing deadline!

    Thank you!

    I was going to do that but I had a change of heart after I went from a hard driver to a solid state drive recently.. Then I went to 11.. never looked back.. works fine. like a new computer

    I will have to get a new computer, my curent is not compatible with the windows 11 upgrade.

    i would recommend getting it done here in late summer or early fall.  i am glad i made the move.  not only is it working fine there is a good feeling of being up to date

    Grab those scissors and start running.  Do it now, you won't regret it. I have been running it for a couple of years without any issues.

    Okay, I'm convinced. I will move my Windows XP computer over 8 inches to make room for my Windows 10 computer!!

    Very liberating to run with scissors....maybe.

    Thanks to you both!
