I personally don't like her singing (I don't like country music in general), but I have to admit that she's a better choice for a magazine cover than Elon Musk.

I'm not a fan of her music, but I'm totally a Dolly Parton fan.

So this explains why Biden has refused to acknowledge that Musk is the undisputed leader in electric cars. (Statement based on vehicle sales in the US and worldwide.)

Finally Windows 11 is available to my desktop PC! 
It already worked quite well on my tablet, almost doubling battery life. So I am quite keen!
Might wait tonight though.. with all the zoom call going this week, workday my not be the best time..

I've been debating about switching.

I normally take the plunge with a clean, usually new, computer.
Upgrades usually leaves me less than impressed.
|
|
|
|
|
I think the upgrade is free. I'm not ready to pay for a new OS when I have a perfectly good one.

They are.
I'm thinking about all problems that you might or might not get with updated programs and settings and such.
From experience, I prefer a clean slate for new major versions.

I do too. I just don't want to spend the money on Win11. It's not even that I can't afford it. It's the principle. I bought Win10 (again) back in january when i bought my machine. At this point it just seems like throwing good money after bad if I make that purchase.

I always get the license with my hardware.
So I guess you're using a VM.
In that case you could probably make a copy of the VM that you can upgrade, then create a new VM and move that license to it.
Would have to check the license agreement to make sure though.

No, I got it with my hardware. I consider that buying it, particularly since I had the option of No operating system, or linux or windows pro (each for different $$$ - well linux was free) when I purchased the system.

I have home. I used to always upgrade to pro until i realized there's no point.

There are some points that might not affect you.
But the good news is that there's a clean install option when upgrading.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, that's good to know. The issue for me then is losing all my stuff. Although I keep my Documents/Photos/Videos/Music mapped to my D: drive so at least I won't lose that.
Still, moving an OS is a huge amount of work. I think I'll wait for 11 to mature some.

I wouldn't need a backup of my drive so much as something that keeps all my programs and stuff installed. It's not going to happen. That means at least a day of rebuilding my environment.

Then an upgrade would be better.
|
|
|
|
|
Or I'll just wait for this install to get creaky and slow like they always do, and then spend the time rebuilding the environment.
That's what I usually do.

For me that usually coincides with getting a new computer.

I go through software a lot quicker than hardware. I buy higher end systems that will last me 10 years. I don't like replacing my machines.

Well I need to be able to support my systems even if I'm on vacation (Luckily that never happens, but anyway) so I need to use a laptop.
They seldom last ten years. Mine usually lasts five (with extended warranty).
|
|
|
|
|
I've had everything that could happen to a laptop happen to my laptop, including getting it stolen out of my home WHILE I WAS SLEEPING (made me want to get a dog)
That's why I don't buy them anymore, but then I'm not in your shoes.

I wouldn't use a laptop if it was for personal use. But I need to be able to lug it around. And work from both home or office.
|
|

|

Yeah, those were my work laptops all that ugly happened to.
I stopped using them for work because of the liability of them.
And I stopped using them at home because on principle I don't like to spend more than I want to lose on the thing, and I don't like the idea of setting even just $500 USD on a public coffee shop table. A laptop is that, but shinier.
So, it's just not for me. That and I eventually break the screen hinges from lugging it around (though in recent years laptops have gotten better in that regard)
