Hey,

basically title, I would be grateful to know from you guys who have moved over to 25H2, if it is worthy (i know they will stop security updates for 23H2 soon) but i want still use 23H2 with my hardcode debloated system with defender on it + AdGuard tool I think i am safe for a good while, but generally would be cool to know if oyu guys have moved already to 25H2 and if so, if you can report any weird things happening or bugs and stuff, not gonna lie; I am kinda afraid to move on sicne i have heared abit already that some stuff breaks again and does not work and yada yada yada

Cheers!
 
It's 2025, and MS want total control, and because your here, you already know that ;) My list is so long, that I fear you will fall asleep after the first paragraph, so I will spare all.

It was never safe to move to 11 from 10, tl:dr

I wonder tho , cant i Just heavily debloat win 25h2 Like anyother Version , and remove the Bad stuff and keep the good parts in?
 
Nope. MS dictates. Unless you remove and never update the OS?, which is what I have done for a long time, but it's getting increasingly harder to do so. I'm happy on this, it runs everything I want, including latest games on my 4090. I need no more.

11 is rotten to the core, even with bloat removed.

LTSC is way to go, but even then, MS are festering that also.

I'll leave this here:

Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash

A senior Microsoft official who is the Windows chief has confirmed that the OS is set to "evolve" in a big way, however, there has been a massive backlash.

MS have ploughed a ton of cash into AI, so it's easy to see where this is now going, and I, for one, will not be part of it.

You shouldn't have any problems either, except if your machine isn't fully compatible W11, you'll need to work around the prerequisites.
 
In Windows 11 in general I'm mainly annoyed by the slowness of the UI.
Sometimes drag and drop is not working, menus have a delay, don't know how people can make 3D games that have less latency, but the background desktop is so difficult.
Maybe the point is they cannot go heavy through GPU and save power at the same time.

As for telemetry, they probably have propagated the main course to all Windows via updates anyway, why would they limit themselves to the latest only.

All file differences were taken care of with NTLite removals via new components (thanks tistou77).
So basically there should be no big difference in the footprint comparing Windows 11 versions with the same +25H2 removals.
That said, hardware requirement is a big one, as stated above.

okay so I guess for now i will just stick to the 24H2 version then, hopefully there wont be any (critical) bugs atleast, but 25H2 is to fresh to upgrade into, I just dont trust it.

Tbh, atleast on my (heavily debloated) win11 23H2 machine, I do not recall that to happen, maybe sometimes, okay, but really not that often tbh, but i have a decent gaming PC so maybe because of that.

I think in general as I stated 1 post above, it is to early to upgrade into 25H2...

btw do you mean you upgraded from windows 11 23H2, since there is no 23H2 for windows 10 I suppose it was a typo.
