I’m unsure where you heard this news, but Microsoft has not announced any plans for Windows 11 that I am aware of. In fact, last I heard, future builds of Windows will be upgrades of 10 for the foreseeable future.

We’ll continue working with Microsoft with any future builds of Windows anyway, for as long as it’s feasible. Obviously I can’t make 100% promises for future content - there’s always the possibility that something happens which makes it impossible or infeasible to support a certain operating system, but at this time we have no plans to terminate support for the latest stable builds of Windows 10.

(Note: this does not mean that we support the latest Insider Preview build - these are considered Beta and any issues with them should be reported to Microsoft and/or at our Bug Report forums.)

I’m sure WoW will be fine on it

The blue post confirms that they work with Microsoft on future builds wherever possible.

Why would it not be?

Paría-silvermoon · June 25, 2021, 1:47pm

Because if I update the computer in October when it is just released will I be able to continue to play?

Not even blizzard but wow has been working with win 98 to win 10.
There is no reason why it would not work on win 11.
But also why would you get win 11 right when it launches?
Did you learn nothing from the past examples like vista?

Windows 11 is the same than windows 10 with a diferent UI and the requeriment of TPM 2.0.

You could test it you know. Have both OS running and then check if 11 runs WoW smoothly and if it does you can, if you want, still delete Windows 10. However instantly swapping to an OS that was just released is not the smartest decision as you will effectively be working as a beta tester.

I used Vista Pro and that I had no problem at all with.

Worked good as a dream

Lol so much for this ‘service as live’ model for their OS when they are now treating it exactly the same as prior versions.

They could literally keep updating the modularized components of their Windows OS forever, but have realized why their prior model was better: PROFIT. A forever OS would sink them.

So well over 4 years, Win11 has only just been released for developers.

I think I’ll call Windows 11, Windows (Mac edition) it looks startlingly like a mac. I want a classic layout for it and to be able to turn the rubbish stuff off.

Edit: I still can’t turn Cortana off without it killing my startup.

Crfs-aggra-português · June 25, 2021, 1:53pm

You know you can’t add crap forever on a OS there is always limitations that soon or later you will need to redo all.

Is just market tendencies that have nothing to do with Mac.
Windows 10 UI was based on the simplest design.

Yorda-aszune · June 25, 2021, 1:55pm

They made windows 10 with a module design, so they swap out things no problem rather than it being one fixed in stone build that can only be ‘chipped’ at. They could literally swap the kernal module out (heart of the OS) and build upon the changes while remaining in Windows 10.

Reality is though: No new sales of OSs = no Microsoft.

Dottie-thunderhorn · June 25, 2021, 1:55pm

But it looks like one.

But it’s a free upgrade for most people.

Crfs-aggra-português · June 25, 2021, 1:56pm

Cause both companies follow the tendencies.

Punyelf-draenor · June 25, 2021, 1:56pm

I have Cortana turned off, what problems does it cause?

Crfs-aggra-português · June 25, 2021, 1:59pm

I think the UI change was just too big that they decided to create a windows 11 and not upgrade to 10.

Dottie-thunderhorn · June 25, 2021, 2:01pm

it crashes my startup, I have to got to safe mode and turn it back on again when I restart. I can turn it off once the machine is up and running but it hates restarting with it turned off.
