only in some case with some hardware... I think, I forgot the name, but those SSD that look like a memory chip, are supposed to be slower. Got one on as my main drive though, not noticing anything (not that I am taxing the system anyway)
(by supposed to be, I mean it's a bug, of course)

Yeah, I run NVMe. If they slowed that down they can take a running jump. I'll wait for them to fix it as I tear the crap out of that drive.

I spotted a huuuuuuuUUUUUUUuuuuge problem with Windows 11.
All the windows have a new rounded corner. But my pet project app (using custom Window chrome from MahApps.Metro) still has a square border!  
mm... I can probably get rid of MahApps.... It has a nice title bar though... (that and some minor restyling is all I use, and I mean minor)

Your app might need some kind of manifest.

Is there any test to determine whether my laptop hardware is capable of supporting Windows 11?

Check you windows update panel, it tells you or there is a link to something that tells you.
it might look like your system can't upgrade, but the windows update report tool might tool you are missing PTM2.0 or something, but, on most recent system, it's just a matter of truning them on in the bios.
Windows update will still say you can't upgrade (while the checker tool say you can) in which which case, just wait a few days, Windows update will eventually catch up

Too late, Windows 11 caught me... aarrggll... tell my children I love them...

Your children want to know where you keep the keys to the house and the combination to the safe. 
Not fatal. Been running it and VS 2022 in a VM. Slower than 10 but that will go away. Like any interface changes, I want to puke at them at first site but I can get used to almost anything. Wow, love the shiny new icons!
Also running the developer eval in a VM and it is OK.
My base is Linux but I am not a zealot, just a preference. SSD's are so cheap, I don't understand why folks don't trial that way.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Now that you say it.. I have Windows Sandbox running Windows 11 inside my new Windows 11! Windowsception!
(Could I run Windows Sandbox in Windows Sandbox?)
And .. I am still alive! Just like you predicted!

Doubling battery life? What (sorcery) tablet is this?

When I was using as my note table during our weekly D&D & CoC afternoon, it ended up with like 20% left after 8 hours.
On Windows 11 it ends up at 65%. Yeah!

I think my battery life would also reach miraculous levels with W11. Simply because I would not use it very much.
After recently installing Linux, Windows is almost completely retired now and only used once in a while for games.

I have always been interested in history - all history - be it the Chinese dynasties or European histories. Recently my eldest daughter decided we need to watch "The Last Kingdom" on Netflix. But we did not have a Netflix account. So she bought us a year's subscription on the understanding that we will watch "The Last Kingdom".
What a great show! We just finished season 1 and now we know about Alfred the Great, the king of Wessex. And we know where Wessex was. We know about the battles against the Danes (Vikings).
Something I am still curious about is the Saxon invasion of England. Did the German Saxons really invade England? Did they drive the Welsh into Wales as the patriotic songs from lower Saxony in Germany seem to suggest? I wonder!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Most modern historians do not believe it was an invasion, per se, but rather a surge of armed settlers spread over considerable time, who were eventually assimilated into the resident population.

Very interesting! Listening to it now. Many thanks!
By the way: It streams perfectly to the USA.

No. As far as I know, they came as hired goons and were loyal to the death. As long as the guys who hired them kept their end of the bargain. If not, no matter why, things very quickly got violent.

Yep. And they would not have been satisfied with that if things had gone according to their plans.
"If we had not won the war, we would all be speaking German now." Far too late. That already happened more than a thousand years ago.
