OysterMug Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 In case anyone was wondering, I updated my computer to "Windows 11" this afternoon. VX works just fine. H5 too. No change.

RidSol Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 No - with all partial or full updates I never had any data loss. Only the operation changed... But to be on the safe side, I also have several backups ?

It reportedly does work with Win11, but I don't yet know how to fix it w/o reinstalling. Other than that, Win11 is mostly just a Win10 facelift (though some optimizations do improve performance, most notably, my M2 drive.) UPDATE: Did a full uninstall/reinstall of WMC and it works just fine. Still getting used to some of the changes to the interface. UPDATE 2: Found my first software incompatibility. The "Kuadro" image overlay tool will not run on Win11 (though old "CThru" still works.) These apps are useful when creating models based on a photograph so you can keep the image on top while editing.) Kuadro never got past the Beta stage in 2014 so there is no update to download.
OysterMug Posted October 9, 2021 Author Posted October 9, 2021 I just returned from a friends' house. He wanted me to install Windows 11 on his computer (which I built for him just a few years ago.) The Installer wouldn't let me. His CPU didn't meet "The minimum requirements." ? He has a reasonably recent Ryzen 3 2200G processor. According to M$'s "CPU Comparability List". the slowest CPU listed in a Ryzen 2300. Only a handful of 2000 series CPU'S are on the list. Nothing older than that is supported. That's a pretty high bar. He needs new CPU just to "upgrade" to Win11.

MS say it will work on recent hardware but in reality it has to be the latest hardware. In real life, you need a new PC if you want to run the new Windows

It's my son's PC now and I enabled TPM just fine. My current rig was easy as pie.
OysterMug Posted October 11, 2021 Author Posted October 11, 2021 That makes sense (so to speak) As long as a motherboard has TPM support, there's no reason it shouldn't be able to run Windows 11 (for which I am finding bugs left & right. Win11 was NOT ready for Prime Time.) Does your old 2013 PC have an Intel CPU? I think the CPU requirements for AMD are unnecessarily higher (unverified.)
Ozif Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 How is the alt-tab functionality for TK17 in Windows 11? Windows 10 pretty much broke fullscreen alt-tab with Hook5, making it necessary to do a regedit trick as well as always alt-tab when you first start up. If you didn't the screen would go black when trying to alt-tab.

I never tested Alt+Tab from full screen in Windows 10, so I can't say if it's better or worse, but a quick check shows it does not work when using Hook5. TK17 goes black and I must access the Task Manager to end the program. Works fine w/o Hook (though TK17 must be run in the same resolution it was launched from.)

It's a shame this hasn't changed, but hopefully the old Win10 workaround is still good. I guess I'll find out when I upgrade.

To date, only one has been fixed (in an early Beta update.) You might want to stick with Win10 for at least another 6 months. Win11 definitely was not ready for Primetime.
