Windows 11 on Omen 30L, how is it so far?

[DTT_DC]

Hello,

Has anyone upgraded their 30L from Windows 10 to Windows 11?

If so, how's your experience so far? Do you have any noticeable issues?

My gaming rig is used for my remote work and I cannot afford to have any problems with it.

So even though I'm given option right now for a free upgrade, I'm holding for a while to see what others are saying.

Thanks,

DT

@DTT_DC , welcome to the Community.

What is the Product Number of the computer? I need this information to review the specifications of it. Please don't furnish the Serial # or other personal information. You can find the Product Number at the bottom of the page when you open HP Support Assistant.

You may or may not receive replies to your question.  Most members come to the Community to solve a problem and leave.  They don't normally lurk.  I will try to give some idea if your computer will run Win 11 without problems.  One of the main items to consider is does it have TMP 2.0.

My product # is 2H4A2AV. I'd be curious to see how this info would help answer my question though.

I was hoping to run into someone with 30L machine, who's upgraded to Windows 11 and find out the experience.

Thank you for the additional information, @DTT_DC!

I was hoping to run into someone with 30L machine, who's upgraded to Windows 11 and find out the experience.  Again, as I stated, this may be somewhat unlikely.

My TPM specification sub-version is actually 1.38 (10/30/2019), when I checked security processor details.

I also checked my BIOS, which was recently updated. It doesn't say anything about 2.0 at all, also.

So I don't think I should upgrade it to Windows 11 anytime soon even though my own Windows notice says it's ready to go. 

It feels like Windows upgrade just might give me BSOD and ruin my day or week.

Hello
this is only a personal opinion ..
If your computer works, it may indeed be pointless to take the risk!
Even if you can take precautions, in order to test, and in the event of a problem, return to your configuration (use a disk image type software)
I tried the installation with a computer, indicated 100% compatible, but for which some functions are missing.
So, nothing extra for the moment, it works no more and no less.
I even have some regrets for some changes!
But your computer is very recent, I have not checked it, but you will certainly be able to benefit from an interesting improvement .
check ..

I still saw some articles indicating, that there was some performance problem in games sometimes

Unfortunately, you will probably not have much feedback here.
We come, we look for a solution, and we disappear

Hello Promethee,

I am of the same opinion. If it's working smoothly, don't update it.

During last 12 months, I've ran into updates that were supposed to be more compatible and issues free but they were the exact opposite, where updates were causing issues when previous versions weren't.

So I won't update to Windows 11 for a while since this PC is also for my remote work that I cannot afford to have issues.

Indeed
If you try later, make a copy of your configuration, with specialized software, it will be safer

I am just going to reinforce that you should make an image of your working windows 10 install before trying windows 11.  I love Macrium Reflect free and have used it to restore many times and to clone drives with complete success.
