I might install Windows 11 on that machine first, but only once an official release of the software is available. I have a secondary computer in my home that I don’t use for work related stuff. I also tend not to install recent updates until the completion of any projects I’m presently working on. I never update software on my production machine until I’m confident that it’s not going to impact my work. I love shiny new things, especially in the tech industry, but I’m a practical person as well. You might be tempted to find this download and install it on your computer, but my advice is to hold off. An early unofficial release of Windows 11 has surfaced on the internet and many tech journalists have installed it to get the scoop in the tech news space.
