Microsoft Windows 11

I installed Windows 11 and my dirvers are malfunctioning. Sometimes my wifi driver doesn't appear and after 3 or more restarts it appears. When I do have wifi, my taskbar shortcuts fail to operate due to a default malfunction, but if I manually open something through Task Manager, it works (only the shortcuts work), not only that, but the shortcut icons either disappear or they look like blank documents. When this occurs, I often loose my background photo. Shortcuts, such as the icons on the desktop work though. When I go to backup my data on my external hard drive (to prepare for a complete system refresh), the computer is unable to read the hard drive in either USB port. I've been troubleshooting this for over a month now to no success; due to the multipleWindows Updates and the time that has gone by, I cannot go back farenough in history to a restore point that would work. Either Windows 11 is a terrible update or HP is a terrible company, as there are no driver updates available for my computer model (purchased new in 2019). My laptop is not very old and there should be no reason to get a new one yet.

Think carefully, before taking the risk, see the experiences of other users, see if it can be interesting, or if you can wait to have a new computer later, 100% compatible!
Windows 10 remains one of the best systems, and can be used for quite a while.


I have performed the installation with a compatible computer ..
And I can not take full advantage of the more or less interesting features, because you have to have a certain material
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications
So far, so there is nothing extraordinary about this system
So if the computer is not compatible, you have little interest in using it ..
In some cases, we can have more problem than something else (performance etc), it is better to wait until most of the bugs are solved.
And even better to have a 100% compatible computer, in order to be able to take advantage of the available features
Now, if you want to give it a try, first plan to use specialized software, and make a ghost copy of your installation.

 

You will not be able to install a compatible processor
you would have to force install windows 11
there are several tutorials on the net, it's up to you
