I normally would have bitten the bullet and moved up to Windows 11 but for once in my life I've decided to stay where I am for as long as I can.

I have a newish laptop and am reasonably technically competent so don't think it would be that painful but just don't see the point really. I expect I'll stay on Win10 until they stop rolling out security patches.

Anyone else tried it ?

I?m trialing at work and really like it. It?s not massively different but it feels ?cleaner?, the changes are helpful and I?ve not encountered any issues. The biggest benefit I?ve seen is in window layout management, you can have multiple desktops and can snap windows to more layouts (halves, thirds, quarters and a few other options). If you hate the start button in the middle you can put it back on the left too.

It killed my brand new Dell PC! The computer came with an advert saying it would upgrade to Windows 11 when released. I did the upgrade immediately it came out. It worked for a day. The next day it wouldn't boot, can't remember the error message, but it wouldn't load Windows. Phoned Dell tech service. Waste of time. After about 45 minutes the advisor said the main board was faulty and they would arrange a collection for repair. Luckily I'd created the recovery drive when I first started the PC when I bought it. This allowed me to uninstall the Windows 11 updated. PC worked again. Perhaps I'll try again just before the 12 months warranty expires.

My lovely ASUS is 10 years old (still i7 with 16GB RAM) and MS have tightened up on old processors.

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!

      Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
