Very likely.

The laptop mentioned above runs a 7200rpm, it runs fine.

Nice! Only the cleanest of installs is even usable on the ones I have tried. Probably SMR vs CMR if I had to guess.

What brand sir?

Arco · Nov 29, 2022

Regarding my storage, I'm going full NVME.

I have four slots so I might as well fill them with fast storage. Begone spinning rust.

P4-630 · Nov 29, 2022

When I need more storage in the near future it will be NVMe drives, got 5 M.2 slots on my motherboard, 2 occupied for now.
I already banned spinners...

Hitachi. It's an older drive but it still hums along.

Good luck with that! You're not going to find SSDs with greater than 4TB of space for less than $700. HDD's might be slower, but they are MASSIVELY more spacious and much less costly.

I'm offloading all my spinners and SATA SSDS to my younger siblings.

My current SN770 1TB OS Drive will be turned into a video and media drive when I can get my hands on a PCIE5.0 2TB main drive.

P4-630 · Nov 29, 2022

For now using a PCIe 4.0 Samsung 980 Pro 1TB for OS.

I don't need tons of TB's.....At least not in the near future, most of my installed games are installed on SATA SSD's.

So it makes a Hum sound :laugh:

I mean they all do so

P4-630 · Nov 29, 2022

Future NVMe drives might come with "coil whine"....Who knows lol, blistering screeming fast data transfers... :laugh:

While that's a fair statement, many people do. One should never cut one's self off from a useful technology just because it's older.

Why did I get update kb5020044 offered to download and install?

I read it's still an insiders update from last week.
I'm not any of that..

Update previews are offered to all apparently.

I get those in a Windows 10 system at work that doesn't take Insider builds. Though I think they're not installed unless you manually approve them.

Correct but it didn't even say "preview"...

Did you do something to lower the memory usage? I can't go below 30% no matter what I do. Not that it's really annoying per se, but if there is a known tweak or something, I'm all ears.

Nope, I just do my usual debloat lean & clean config. I do all of it post install.

Yeah, just click that "X". It's not a security update and it's had a few problems.

Do you have a link or any information on how to do this? I'm completely willing to reinstall. (My windows eats ram.)

Psychoholic · Nov 30, 2022

I still would have preferred if they kept all the window management items too.

A couple more hundred updates and it's just as good and feature rich as W10. Reversed progress.

theFOoL · Nov 30, 2022

From here on out I'd like to say WIN11 is king

Almost.. 10 still benches better :mad:

I'd have to agree, even though win10 wins in some benchmarks, for some reason at least to me win11 "feels" smoother.. subjective opinion i know.

theFOoL · Nov 30, 2022

I'm not all about scores. It's the REAL Experience. Like virtual machines... "Eh" it's the real experience I crave

Space Lynx · Nov 30, 2022

Nice to see Win 11 update today fixed the gaming performance issues. Got mine updated

theFOoL · Nov 30, 2022

with the explorer patch (I just started using it again) and On my Windows Go "I don't think a Regular installment would make a difference anyway but" I'm getting full black on the taskbar when Apps are Maximized. I'm using a 4850 1GB on that system. Most of my systems are AMD GPUs
