If you want to upgrade your computer from Windows 10 to Windows 11, there are a few things you need to know.
See more articles from iGuRu.gr when you search for news on Google.
Presumably you have done the well-known check with the PC Health Check tool and seen if your computer supports Windows 11. Then, you have seen the list of removed features in Windows 11 and checked your hardware drivers if they are compatible with Windows 11 (GPU, chipset, network).
So you are ready to pull the trigger. Before doing so, check the list of known bugs in the firmware version of Windows 11 just released by Microsoft.
Keep in mind that the list of known bugs in Windows 11 is not just a warning of possible headaches that you may experience after the upgrade. Microsoft says Windows Update will not offer Windows 11 on affected systems until developers fix these issues or users implement solutions (it may take up to 48 hours for Windows 11 to appear in Windows Update after application of a solution).
So far, Windows 11 has only three known bugs reported in the official Microsoft documentation.
1. Compatibility issues between Oracle VirtualBox and Windows 11. Microsoft says that users may not be able to start existing virtual machines. To work around the issue, Microsoft recommends removing Hyper-V or Windows Hypervisor. Oracle plans to release an update sometime this month to fix the bug. Alternatively, uninstall VirtualBox.
2. Compatibility issues between Intel Killer networking software and Windows 11. You may experience slower than expected Internet speeds when using Intel Killer software on Windows 11. There are no workarounds, but Microsoft promises to fix the issue in October 2021 with cumulative updates.
3. Compatibility issues between Coc Coc browser and Windows 11. The browser may not launch. Again, there are no solutions as Microsoft is investigating the issue.
It is also worth noting that you may experience other issues or errors that have not been detected by Microsoft.
Switching to a new operating system is always a risky process, so Microsoft is in no hurry to distribute Windows 11 as quickly as possible to everyone.
If you're willing to take a leap of faith, see our instructions on incompatible computers . Compatible computers will be notified by Windows Update when it's your turn.
