Well, I'm always curious about new stuff and don't believe the naysayers very much and I have no major reason not to trust Microsoft, so I downloaded and installed Windows 11 on my computer when it became available to me this morning. Installation was very easy - took about an hour. So far, it seems to have a crisper response on my computer than I had with Windows 10, so maybe this is an improvement.
Wish me luck.
