For anyone wondering if Android app support is going to be there—it won't. They said;
We look forward to continuing our journey to bring Android apps to Windows 11 and the Microsoft Store through our collaboration with Amazon and Intel; this will start with a preview for Windows Insiders over the coming months.

I will wait a bit til VBS won't be optional thing, because I don't want FPS drops in games.
 
Just got this when I checked for update. I'll wait for it to become available on my laptop first

That is my impression as well, i believe i may have mentioned it in the Windows 11 thread a couple of times as well. For the majority of the users, and similarly capable/technical users out there, on this forum it's not much of a big deal. Although a lot of basic Quality-Of-Life (QoL) features/functionality is missing at the moment in Windows 11 for the majority of the average home users.

So I tend to agree with the reviews that it looks good and stable, but the missing functionality is just barely barebones for the QoL home users.

In my experience it's actually more stable than 10. Anyway removed one of my machines from Beta and set it to stable channel. The other one will remain in beta :)

if its just TPM 2.0 that you fail on (and you have TPM1.2) you can add
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup]
"AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU"=dword:00000001

then reboot and you can then update from media/iso

(this only bypasses the tpm2.0 check) you still need tpm1.2 / secure boot etc

Have installed W11 yesterday. Before upgrading, I updated my drivers and put Microsoft Defender in default mode. I made an image with Macrium. Then I went to the registry to bypass the CPU check. After that, I downloaded an ISO of W11 in my language and just clicked on the .exe. It took me nearly one hour to upgrade my system. So far so good
