windows 10 or 11
new pc build, should i install 10 or 11, i know 11 has had some problems with the ssd's disappearing but not sure if this affects windows 10, currently using windows 10 on my current pc but i know that on my new build i can only use wifi with windows 11 as there are not windows 10 drivers.

The SSD thing likely won't affect you. The culprit isn't windows, but SSD manufactures using pre-release controllers from Phison and is what is causing the problem. If you some how do have one, there is likely a firmware update from the SSD manufacture to address this. 

 

Windows 10 support is set to expire very soon, I think October? So go with Windows 11.

Go with Windows 11, and the SSD problem while it does exist with a few SSD's it's greatly exaggerated as a general problem.

[Eigenvektor]

The SSD issue appears to be caused by a combination of Windows 11 update and older BIOS versions, so you should be good if you're on an up-to-date BIOS.

 

Otherwise, Windows 10 is EOL starting October, so probably a better idea to go with Windows 11 on a new build.
