hmm, I surprised to hear it's running slow for you. I upgraded my laptop over the weekend and it seems fairly snappy. The only thing that is slow is steam. It's super slow. It took nearly 5 minutes to start up city skylines.

has anyone looked into windows 11? i'm getting a free windows 11 upgrade offer/update and didn't know if it was worth switching already (i'm on windows 10).

I remember when i had windows 7, i think and i got an offer for 10 and i kept declining it 'cause i'd heard/seen windows 10 didn't start off well or was buggy or whatever...then the offer went away and i was forced to buy a new laptop in jan 2020 'cause windows stopped updates for windows 7...so if i can get a free update now im thinking maybe it's worth it?

They will end support for Windows 10 in 2025; so I would say upgrade if you think you'll still be using the same laptop. If you think you will buy new before or in '25 and like Windows 10; I wouldn't bother. 10 & 11 are visually different but basically run the same as an OS.

Also usually you have ten days to undo those free upgrades so you could always take it for a test drive.

I've got it on my laptop, and it seems fine.
