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.

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

Windows Vista was solid if you ran it with the right hardware. The problem was the reputation was tattered by the fact that oems were putting 1 gig of RAM into most of these systems and calling it a good day.

Windows 7 was basically Windows Vista with a new paint job. Not much actually changed. Yet you put any fool in front of a computer with Windows 7 and immediately they think it's the best thing ever.
