I'm starting to get messages on on Windows 10 PC about this. Has anyone installed it? How's it going? Recommend?
One of my considerations is if I need to get O365 and turf my desktop versions of office.

I had a look at the W 11 promotion info and decided "nah!" for now.

One concern is that, on my first quick reading, it seems it would force me to use Outlook or some MS new equivalent for email, and possibly MS Office.
I prefer independent alternatives. I'll have a closer look later, but won't rush in.

Tend to agree, thanks for the info.

I just came to ask the same question, mine asked me to upgrade today - any further considerations from anyone that's upgraded already?

I had to buy my wife a new laptop and it came with Windows 11. I managed, after some fiddling around, to turn off the preset back up to onedrive and install my own external plug in back up system. It is a pain though!
