W11 going better than expected?

Guess Win 11 is doing well then...

This remarkable speed of uptake may have something to do with it.....


AdDuplex Windows 10 and Windows 11 Report for October 2021

Looks like MS have scored a hit with 11

and the pandemic is helping them immensely.


PC sales have been through the roof and as people continue to work from home they want better. Throw in Win 11 launch and you got yourself a winner.

I have one device in this house that is 11 compatible meaning I likely have to buy two devices. (One for client calls and one for my wife.) Bet this saga plays out time after time.

Both my custom made rigs can run Win 11 easily

None of my laptops were up to W11 requirements, so I bought two more that are, both second hand.

I had only planned to get one, easily justified as a replacement for my System One. That's a decade old now (and showing its age). Chances are I would have had to replace it soon anyway.

But then an opportunity came up that was too good to pass up

I've never liked laptops ...I only build desktops ...because I can easily upgrade them anytime I want.

Or repair them laptops not so as the parts may not available any more.

plus everything is real tiny and hard to work on ....

I prefer laptops, they (literally) sit on my lap and can go everywhere with me.

Each has its place.


Can't really take a desktop with me to client's homes. We travel with tablets and phones, can pretty much do anything including scanning.


My wife's "office" is the kitchen table, again you really can't have a full desktop. She closes lid and can hide it in another room when people come over.


My daily has always been a desktop. Love the big screen(s) and the ability to upgrade.

I'll stick with my desktops ...I don't travel much and when I do, I don't need any type of computer with me.
