      @garrty said in Warning to all Windows 10 users:

      is it safe to update to win 11?

      Go ahead and tell us 😊
      Do not forget to take a complete disk image of your boot drive before you upgrade.

      Check out any social media : ask them : "shall I upgrade ?", and you'll see what the opinions are.

      IMHO : Window 10 became finally 'useable', it took Micrtosoft a year or two .... (more ?).
      I don't know if 11 does things better, something I'll need now. 10 works for me, so I've no need to discover if 11 is a show stopper.
      I'll see, somewhere in 2022.

      I do advise you to keep pfSense updated.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        @zatno the screenshots, was "today" the same day for each? Basically, are they 3 hours apart?
        I'm assuming they are the same system.
        If so what did the system do in those 3 hours? If nothing, then hmm.
        Are the windows update servers really pointing at MS owned assets?
        I can see DNS issues/bad actors making you think the second time you are pointing at proper MS assets when you aren't.

          @gertjan I agree with pretty much everything you've said about Wndows 10. It's the first iteration of Windows I've found tolerable since Win 3.x :)

          Last I checked Win 10 was EOL sometime in 2025, so I wouldn't even look at upgrade until 2024 timeframe and then I'd likely buy new hardware. At least for a home user. Business, well, I have no recommendations there.

            Windows 7 was ok, no ?
            For @home and @work, 7 was quiet usable. It took some time, as we all needing something to forget "Windows 6" - and "Windows 8" later on.

              @mer The screenshots are from different machines.
              The one with the Red circle from HP 8300.
              The one with the Green circle from DELL Vostro 3471.
              Both of them were taken the day they have been posted here, which is something like 2 weeks after the issue has occurred on HP 8300.

              And I'll say it again: The offer to upgrade to Win 11 was not genuine (Confirmed by Microsoft).

              Now you have an example how a genuine offer to upgrade to Win 11 looks like (The screen shoot with the Green circle).

              Stay safe.

                Thanks. I wasn't sure what exactly I was supposed to be looking at.

                        Locking this, just attracting spam.
