How's Windows 11 faring the software of the seven seas? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I tried Win11 about 3 months after the initial release. That was a mistake.

Some of my wares of the seven seas did not run properly (like asassins creed valhalla), and there were performance issues when gaming. So I rolled back to Win 10.

Any fellow sailors out there daily driving 11? Have the big bugs been ironed out yet? Any glaring issues?

I've always used Rufus to download Windows ISOs. It should let you download the latest major Win 11 release. I just used it last week in fact to make a quick bootable USB at work to reimage a device with 11 on it.

That gets a clean and uncracked copy I think?

It's not activated, if you need to activate it look up Microsoft Activation Scripts, should be a GitHub link

Edit: to properly answer your question, yes it should be clean and uncracked if you download through Rufus.

Awesome thanks. Sounds easy enough.

Here's the GitHub for the activation scripts. Takes like 30 seconds to do it. I'm amazed at how trivial its gotten to pirate Windows

Does anyone else find it kind of funny that a Microsoft service is hosting code to let you use another Microsoft service.

Even better, there’s been a case where Microsoft Support has used it themselves.

And don't forget that time that a Microsoft Support employee used MAS to activate a customer's Windows because the legal/official method wasn't working.
