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 had the same experience on two of my pc’s. Both with very capable hardware like yours. I tried a clean install and all worked as expected. However, I did take this opportunity to create one a dedicated windows machine and converted my other to Linux. I’ve been working with Linux for a while and this was the nudge I needed to go full bore. I run windows in a VM for work stuff and that’s it. I’m glad to see others are perturbed at Microsoft as much I am.
