Should I update my ProBook 450 G7 with 7200RPM HDD to Windows 11?

I didn't update by myself because I think Windows 11 slow down my laptop.

Hi:

No one here would be able to tell you what to do regarding upgrading to W11.

I can tell you that HP has a full set of W11 drivers for your notebook, so it is supported.

W11 was designed to run faster than W10 according to Microsoft.

I installed W11 on some of my PC's and it has run better than W10 on every one of them,

What you can do is to give W11 a try and you have 10 days to go back to W10 if W11 doesn't work right.

Microsoft: You can easily go back to Windows 10 from Windows 11 (windowslatest.com)

I can't believe HP installed a slowpoke 7,200 RPM mechanical hard drive in your notebook instead of a blazing fast NVMe SSD.

You may want to look into upgrading to one of those.

Thanks, it got Windows 11 update! Not too bad but little bit slow, nearly Windows 10.

Locate to Storage/Drives scroll down to Primary SATA hard drives.
