seemed to be the right thing to do ....
so yesterday I? 'ALLOWED'? my main computer , an I5-12400,? to go
ahead with Win10 to Win 11 upgrade.
Almost everything loaded up fine.. and even RAN including the
DXlabs suite.
When testing the backup folder, which is a RAID drive in the
adjacent (garage) cabinet, it could not find the Drive. So far the
only thing at issue was the "mapped" network drive. Win 11 would
not accept the usual naming protocols for the 4 drive assembly. So
microsoft & netgear were worthless and not helpful pointing to
the correct direction.I finally sent a note to the netgear
forum..., since the factory EOL'd? end of life these years ago.
'within 10 minutes some netgear GURU replied with two
suggestions.? I had messed with SMB ???& asked if I tried
using the \\IP address...
THAT DID IT ...
so 24 hours later,,,? all is great. And the Win !!? is much
faster, due to being a clean "os" install....
so we'll see if it keep going...
bill? :)

Do you know if 24 H2 ever got
straightened out?? I remember a few months ago that it was
one update you DID NOT want to install.? I’m asking
because a friend of mine has the home edition of Windows
11 and he is wondering if it is safe to install.

Windows
11 24H2 offers performance improvements and new features but
has faced reliability concerns due to persistent bugs,
though many issues have been addressed through patches.
Here's a breakdown:
Key
Considerations
- Performance
Enhancements: The update brings faster
x86 emulation for ARM devices, improved File Explorer, and
optimizations for AMD Ryzen and Intel Arrow Lake CPUs.
- Resolved
Issues: Patches have fixed problems
with Ubisoft games, USB scanners, and Intel Smart Sound
Technology drivers (blue screen errors on 11th Gen CPUs).
- Lingering
Bugs: Some issues remain unpatched:
- Asus
Compatibility: Certain Asus PCs
still can't install the update.
- Camera/App
Glitches: Cameras may become
unresponsive, and wallpaper apps might malfunction.
- Anti-Cheat
Conflicts: Easy Anti-Cheat drivers
in multiplayer games may cause crashes.
Stability
Status
- Safeguard
Holds: Microsoft blocks the update on
affected devices (e.g., those using Safe Exam Browser v3.7
or older).
- Patch
Progress: Eight major patches since
October 2024 have addressed most critical bugs, but minor
issues persist.
- User
Reports: Concerns about stability
remain on forums, though enterprise-managed devices are
unaffected.
Recommendation
Proceed with
the update if your device isn’t on a safeguard hold, as
security risks increase with delayed updates. For
mission-critical systems, wait 1–2 weeks after installation
to monitor for device-specific issues. Always back
up data before updating.
