Windows 10 Installation question

[gaaara]

I would like to upgrade my Windows 10 to 11. Is this possible? Can you please help me here?

I would probably wait awhile before "up"grading to windows 11

Go to Windows Update and it should pop up if your computer is compatible*.

I wouldn't bother right now. Also you could make a new thread.

(Also yes, I'm aware its probably a bot)

My experience has been to wait until the bug reports die down. That shouldn't be all that long if it hasn't
happened already.

I do forsee a drop. intel is about to launch the i5 12400 at a likely 229$… AMD will have to cut the 5600G and X down to compete.

Nice ! I do not overclock but even so I wonder about heat. Is another fan or an after market cooler called for ?

Not 100% sure but I think for a few gen's now, you no longer get a stock cooler? Hopefully someone can confirm. I didn't get one with my i5 9600k at least.

Pretty sure it’s only unlocked intel(k skus) that don’t come with the stock cooler. The idea is that you’re gonna OC anyway and the stock cooler isn’t sufficient. The 5600G 100% has a cooler though.

ah, haha that makes way more sense. For some reason I thought they'd just stopped supplying a stock cooler to cut costs or something, lol.

The 5600G comes with a completely OK cooler if you dont plan to overclock, though somewhat ironically, the 1500X you have might have a slightly better cooler (im at my inlaws so i dont have time to deep dive right now.) - the 1000 series chips’ version of the Wraith cooler had a solid copper slug in the middle, and is slightly better (were not talking life changing differences here, but better) than the all-aluminum one that they went with for 2000-series chips and onwards. Im not sure if the 1500X had the better one or not, but it might.

Intel K SKUs and the 5800X (and higher) from AMD. And yeah the idea is, youre going to end up throwing it out anyway so why include it.

Thank you so much for your reply here. I will try to do that.

It looks like all upgraded people here except me.

How do you handle licensing when installing windows 10?
