Windows 11

[BaconFries]

Starting to look like George Orwell's 1984

Well, it raises the question, how virtual do we need to be?

My motto somewhat related to this is:

Live where you were born, and work where you live.

Should cut travel in half I'm guessing and prevents a lot of internet time talking to friends from the past.

It's not a bad thing. It's just early days...

WWB was developed with VC++ which means it will not have any issues with Windows 11 and if it does, Pablo will apply his magic!

Agree zink Anyway it's fun with a new OS, there are some small goodies, but WWB is most important and sure Microsoft going to update their list of CPU:s

[Bluesman]

Now worked with WWB 16 on Windows 11 for 2 days... so far so good
Windows 11 is really a nice experience.

Yes... love it so far and discovering all the time. The feeling without any benchmarks is smoother and faster...

[crispy68]

That's all good and all... BUT can you play minesweeper?

[MGD4me]

And... can she bake a cherry pie, Billy-boy, Billy-boy?

[Bluesman]

No... but it reads my mind

[ColinM]

No... but it reads my mind

In that case I don't need Windows 11 - My wife already does that.

Just a quick update on this. Im testing WB16 on Windows 11 64bit and so far its working all ok.

The only issue I have come across was in the installation it overwrote my Microsoft C++ 2015-2019 with the Microsoft C++ 2015 version and my Office 2019 Pro plus volume licence version had to be re installed again followed by Microsoft C++ 2015-2019

Overall its great and very fast compared to Win 10

I will bring any other updates as necessary or if anyone has a feature they want me to test for them let me know.

Good to know Graham - thanks for the update.

Nice one Graham. This weekend I will be having a bash at 11 - If I get a chance.

[jerryco]

Are you sure it will run on only 128GB of RAM Zinc?

128???? That's plenty!!!!

[GrahamW]

The more I play with Windows 11 Im really liking it. I haven't found anything yet that is alarming and causing an issue.
Everything is just working as intended.

Just updated the "WhyNotWin11" tool today saturday... and yes now my cpu also meats the minimi demands, so 100% compatible now
And all works well with WWB 16.

[BaconFries]

So with all the talk / excitement about Windows 11 and will it be compatible with your existing PC and its ability to run Android app / apks I would hold of the excitement for now. According to the following article you may be disappointed as Microsoft has teamed up with Amazon...yes Amazon to be the provider of them and not Google. Now whether at a later date will it be possible to install (sideload) third party apps/apks not available from it like you can do with other Android devices only time will tell.

[alan_sh]

That may also be why Google has moved away from APKs as installation media.

I use the tower and 27 inch monitor for my web and print work and actually don't own a laptop. I am increasing the monitor to a 32 inch. So a laptop for is useless.

How are the three 65 inch screens and a Dual Tower system with Triple RAID redundancy coming on zinc? I guess you do have the Wheel already?
