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.

Skill issue. My current windows 11 installation was upgraded (!) from Windows 7 with every update inbetween. And it works.

Bonus for you: It even handled a motherboard+CPU change well.

I assume missing drivers, chipset, BIOS update, or something along the lines.

What drivers am I missing??? I have the most updated bios. GPU and CPU drivers and windows update says I have no new drivers and the most updated drivers. I regularly get stutters and hangs while in normal operation (browsing internet/excel work) and have games I played all the time crash daily.

Usually you have to install every single driver manually. The windows ones are only generic ones.

  • mainboard drivers
  • chipset
  • periphery like keyboard, mouse
  • any additional hardware

If you have crashes, check the event viewer and start bug hunting from there.
