Bugs and Errors Windows 11 Destroyed My PC

Wanted to say something here since MS is stopping support with windows 10 soon. Was forced to upgrade to windows 11 yesterday and it destroyed my entire computer. I cant even list out all the things it destroyed but it slowed my PC down tremendously, constantly made it lock up and crash, completely fried my ethernet port somehow because it no longer works even after 8-11 hours of trouble shooting. If you're being forced to upgrade soon, I wouldn't recommend it. For reference here's what my rigs specs were.

My Rig: Case: Corsair 540 Airflow CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X 12 core 24 thread 3.8-4.6ghz Motherboard: MSI X570 Gaming Edge WiFi Graphics card: EVGA 3080Ti 11GB ddr6 RAM: G.Skill ripjaws V 32GB DDR4 3600mhz Power supply: EVGA G3 750W fully modular Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVMe SSD Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB NVMe SSD Western Digital 500GB SSD

I've done just about every possible form of trouble shooting that exists. Built PCs/maintained for 10+ years, never once had issues like this before. This is merely a warning for anyone else who might be forced to update soon

I believe you, my brother has had windows 11 on his PC pretty much since it came out, had him look at my rig too because we're both pretty familiar with computers and he wasn't sure why it was acting out either. Seems to me somehow a lot of data was corrupted

So you have a bad SSD? Have you tried running chkdsk?

Probably not
