Posted May 24, 2023 So my PC's specs are: i3-10100, GT1030, Asus EX-B460M-V5 Mobo, 2x8GB 2400mhz ram and Team MP33 256GB M.2 SSD. I mostly play Rainbow Six Siege at 1366x768 resolution and record it using OBS in 1080p. I want to upgrade to Windows 11 but heard that it's still not that good. I once installed the insider version back in 2021 but reverted to Windows 10 because my fps was dropping in W11 while playing Siege and running 10+ tabs in Chrome and Firefox at the same time. But I am able to do all of this in W10 smoothly. But now I want to go for 11 again and can someone tell me if it's worth it or not because I don't want my performance dropping in 11 just like I experienced in 2021. I am currently using W10 22H2. Also can I upgrade from W11 Media Creation Tool software and if I do that do I have to reinstall my drivers again? Or should I do a clean install (I don't have so much time for that)?

Posted May 24, 2023 Windows 11 requires you to have a DirectX12 and at least a WDDM 2.0 driver, I have no clue if the gt 1030 has that or not. I would also say that base Windows 11 isn't great, but it is aesthetically nicer (imo). You have the TPM required and you also have the right amount of memory and storage, I also would like to warn you that it uses 64 odd GB of storage, so with your setup that would be a quarter of your storage space. I'm not sure if you'll have to reinstall any drivers with W11 Media, but I don't think I'm the right person to tell you that because I'm not 100% sure.

Posted May 24, 2023 Seeing current updates on W11, it seems that it's catching up to prime time of W10, but still not on par. Just stay at W10, as long as W10 updates didn't force you to update.

A particular variant of GT1030 supports DX12 so I have to check my model but I am pretty sure mine supports DX12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
