Hi, An update. All the machines run OK on 11. But.... all are slower. Boot time on my OMEN is about double what it was on 10 pro (its running 11 Pro). On the MS Tablet (win 11 Pro) it can be quite a while (it has an M3 CPU). I have also had a number of crashes in Firefox, particularly going to sites like Amazon that WIN 11 says it will fix (usually does). I tell it OK to reconnect (it doesn't) then tell it to cancel and it goes through. Go figure the logic of that. My sense is that it caused the crash in the firs place. It is much slower with my Outlook email. I had it forget how to find the downloads folder once this week. Depending on your version and hardware it can be a bit tricky to recover it. Win 11 messes up the slider bars on Corel 9. It has a great tendency to stick things on the desktop even if you told it to save to someplace else. I had to run scan and DISM once and it would not complete the DISM. Nice to have the program that is supposed to fix stuff hang and not complete. (BTW all the anti virus programs came up negative) I'll post some more hints and issues as they occur. I feel that Win 11 fixes a problem we didn't have and in doing so causes more problems.
