Hey, for someone building a new PC and wants to install Windows, would you guys still recommend installing 10 over 11?
I would not. 11 is ok to use nowadays.
No I'd go with 11 at this point. It's basically the exact same thing as 10 (with a few regedit tweaks) but they added stuff. Also if you have an HDR monitor you 100% need win11. Win10 HDR is complete dogshit. They are only actively adding HDR features into win11.
For doing a clean install for older hardware that was bought with windows 10, would you recommend reinstalling it with 11 even if the hardware is not officially supported?
You can bypass that?
Yep, as per this article, it can be done.
However they do not recommend doing it as Windows 10 will be officially supported up until October 2025.
I'd say give it a try. If it works then it works.
If you building new PC, you can prolly so linux if you care for privacy., PopOS or Mint works well for gaming.
If you get Windows 11 make sure to get the Pro version for more control (like turning off ads).
