I'm considering whether to stick with Windows 10 or make the jump to Windows 11. Last time I upgraded, it caused a big drop in my gaming performance, which is a huge concern for me since I game about 90% of the time. I'd love to hear any advice or experiences others have had with switching to Windows 11. Here are my PC specs:
- **CPU:** Intel Core i5-14400F (2.50 GHz with turbo up to 4.7 GHz, 10 cores)
- **RAM:** 32 GB
- **Storage:** 1 TB SSD (Read speed: 4125 MB/s, Write speed: 2950 MB/s)
- **GPU:** NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16 GB)

It's been over two years since 11 came out, and they've improved the CPU scheduler, allowing it to perform better with newer hardware. Other gamers have reported improved performance too. If you're curious, there’s a recent comparison video that might help clear things up!
Actually, Windows 11 is known to be slightly faster for gaming compared to Windows 10. Plus, keep in mind that Windows 10 isn't receiving any security updates anymore, so it's not a great long-term choice.
Just go for the upgrade! Windows 11 works smoothly and feels like a service pack for 10. Honestly, if it weren't for the revamped start menu, I wouldn't even notice much difference.
My son and I upgraded to Windows 11 and didn't experience any performance issues. Maybe you ran into a driver problem with your last upgrade?
If you had problems before, I suggest doing a clean install of Windows 11 using a flash drive, instead of upgrading directly from 10. Just remember to back up all your files first!
