Windows 11

[aja07 20]

Hi,  My Windows Emby server is offering an update to W11, so far I have declined.   

Are there any users with Windows Emby servers that have migrated to W11 and if so any issues?

Does EMBY have any opinion on W11?

I am on Insider Dev (Emby test system) and migrated back in October without issue.  There are several topics on the forum (filtered to title only).

I moved my server to W11, no issues, other than the stupidity that is W11.  How the heck could they get rid of the ease of launching Task Manager.

Just like all the context menu changes.

Task Manager, right click Windows icon instead of taskbar.

Each time Windows has offered an upgrade since Windows XP I have upgraded as soon as I verified that there was nothing that hurt, much, the ability to use anything that I used regularly. However, this time, I am not even going to try because there are too many reports of changes Microsoft has made or are making or or planing to make that would force changes to the way I do things. I am now over 73 years old and Windows 10 should work fine for at least five year or so and even after that, judging by how long Windows 7 has kept working, Windows 10 should remain working well after that five years and will probably remain working, just without direct support, for another 10-12 years.

My plan is to keep Windows 10 on all my devices at least until I am 90 or so and then I may well not care any more.

I "like" being fully up to date but only one of my computers can upgrade to Windows 11 according to Microsoft.

I will only upgrade if I am forced but I will make sure any new machines I get can run or already are running Windows 11.

A friend of mine upgraded to Windows 11 and I had a chance to test it a bit. After that I am even less likely to even try to upgrade to Windows 11.

Maybe, over the next few years, this will encourage me to implement Linux on all my computers. There are numerous advantages to Linux and I am fairly comfortable with it and virtually all tools I use either have versions that work under Linux or there is a replacement for Linux that is just as good

I will ask in another thread but there are so many "flavors" of Linux that it may be hard to find the "best" one for my use, should I decide to go that way. Also I need to double check that there really is a Linux workaround or tool for all my needs.

Things are still WAY up in the air and what I do is not necessarily correct for others.

BTW: My friend had an Emby server running fine under Windows 10 and his failed to run after the upgrade but he did a remove and reinstall and Emby started working for him again.

W11 with Hyper-V here too. 

The only advice I would give is if you do go down that route, then do a fresh install - do not try and update from W10.
