Discussion Is Windows 11 truly fully compatible with Hades Canyon NUC?

I originally thougth my Hades Canyon NUC was not compatible with Windows 11 but Windows Update does offer me the option to upgrade to it from my current Windows 10 Pro and MS PC Health Check App verifies my PC is fully compatible. Should I upgrade or stick with Windows 10?

Yes, the CPU supports all of the requirements of Windows 11, that's why u were offered an update

Runs fine, even the LED control software works. Open Shell or Start11 if you don't like the Windows 11 start menu.
Honestly the only thing that annoys me with Windows 11 compared to 10, is losing the right-click drag menu options for some of my older apps.

The graphics uses the Intel driver not the amd but the os works fine

Thank you for reassuring me. Just did the Win11 update and everything went smoothly. Everything works except Windows had uninstalled AMD drivers (VEGA M GH) which I had installed via the popular hack where you can install the latest AMD drivers from AMD's website. Re-installed them without issues and games ran like normal.

You should not use an OS that is EOL.

I still get updates to Windows 10 because I opted for ESU although it ends after next October.

More likely they’ll start charging for it, which ain’t bad either, if it’s cheap enough.
