The question is simple: What is the Neowin community's default Windows version at home and at work?

For me, it is Windows 11 at home, and Windows 10 at home. 

Note: In order to keep the poll simple, I went with only the major versions of Microsoft Windows.

Windows 11 at home, I thought I should get some hands on time with it before eventually deploying it at work.

Most of our client computes at work don't support Windows 11, so Windows 10 currently.

I have Win11 Pro "canary" build at home, as I love to play around.  At work, I believe we finally updated from Win7 to win 10.  Of course, it has the start menu program on that makes it look like Win 7, as the owner still doesn't know how to use computers very well.

I have 6 computers running Windows 11 (including all my main computers)
I have 7 (I know I probably forgot some) computers running Windows 10 and 1 running Windows 7. (Located on a segregated network)

Why do you have 14 computers? you only have 10 fingers, unless you're using your toes as well!

 

Work is Windows 11, personal still on Windows 10 as its too old for W11.

Only got two Windows boxes left, both running LTSC 2021 as a "stationary target" with no feature update breakage. Threw on a few tweaks/addons (WSL, WSA with Google, store, Terminal, etc.), one is for gaming and one is for development via VS2022.  That said, I'll probably switch the gaming one to 11 in the reasonably near future, with the usual selection of addons (which are more or less the same for 10 anyway), it just has more to offer and looks better in the process. I do actually like it better, just not wanting to do the whole reinstall hassle since there's currently no upgrade path for this version... get to it sooner or later.

All the other machines are running KDE Plasma but that's a different poll.

Windows 10 1803 because Microsoft doesn't care to fix a critical multi-monitor bug that closes the WRONG window vs the X button we clicked when maximized in a multi-mon high DPI scenario.

If you want a break down what each one is. After looking at my own list, I noticed I forgot to count one in the post above.

      Wrong again. Electric vehicles are more reliable than gasoline vehicles because they have fewer points of failure. On average, they last 50% longer. Its your right to be incorrect and my right to correct you.

    • ISP upping me to 1200Mbps, need solutions...

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, I am using a Hitron CODA56 cable modem with Comcast Xfinity's 1200 Mbps service.  No issues noted.  I had looked at the Motorola and Netgear options for a cable modem, but neither was available for purchase at the time I upgraded my cable connection. There are multiple models in the Netgear Nighthawk X10 line-up.  I am guessing you have either the the Netgear Nighthawk X10 AD7000 model (R8900) or the Netgear Nighthawk X10 AD7200 model (R9000) model, is that correct?  Both of these only have one gigabit WAN (internet) ports for connection to the modem, all of the remaining ports for the LAN side of things are gigabit Ethernet ports.  The 10GbE port on the devices is meant for connection to local NAS storage.  I suppose you could connect the desktop computer directly to it, although it would still be limited by the gigabit connection between the cable modem and the Netgear residential gateway broadband router. I would suggest looking for a residential gateway broadband router from a company like Asus, Netgear, TP-Link or maybe even Ubiquiti, depending upon budget, that has 2.5Gbps (or faster) WAN and LAN ports.  That would allow you to make full use of the 1.2Gbps connection from your ISP as well as have some room for future growth, speed-wise.
