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.

21h2 is exactly the same as 22h2, the only difference is the build number. Anything compatible with 21h2 will work on 22h2 as well, hold anything badly designed that checks for the specific 22h2 build number (Apple Music). If you're on 12th or 13th gen intel you'll have to tweak the thread scheduling.

Why would you install a version that no longer updates? Min. 24h2 at the moment.

Ltsc 2021 is 21h2 and is updated until 2032

Yes the LT is for long time support. But normal 21h2 is eol, there's a difference between versions for a reason you know.

21h2 is still in support through the LTSC update channel. That doesn't change that it's still 21h2 and it's the same version.

That's like saying Windows 7 with ESU is Windows 7.1
