Windows 11

I have wasted a week trying to perform an in-place upgrade from a Windows 10 install to Windows 11, have had multiple failures and have gotten absolutely no assistance on fixing this.It looks like I will be forced to try a clean install.

Microsoft is ignoring users and it is reprehensible.And to seeming helpful users who tell me to hide my taskbar or give me registry hacks to change the size of my taskbar?JUST DO NOT! Those are not answers to the issue.Microsoft needs to listen to users and bring back a much beloView the full article
