Update to windows 11?
If you like to experiment/tweak, go ahead, and please report back. But if you don't have time to troubleshoot problems and wait for Microsoft to patch bugs, I wouldn't.
I've read a range of posts about Win11 upgrades. Some have had no major issues. Others (including people with new model Dell laptops) have reported sluggish performance, battery drain, and other issues.
OS updates are a big deal and will always come with bugs. It takes Microsoft a solid year in my experience to patch every issue. I am holding off until 2022.

I noticed today that my alienware M15 R4 is now able to update to windows 11. Should i update now, or no? If no, why not?

The only Dell bloatware I accept to have on my laptop is AWCC, I've made sure there's nothing else through a clean install of Windows. But I noticed this two days ago when I was checking if Dell released any new drivers. Do any you guys/girls use this? Is it useful to keeping system stability or just an unnecessary extra/bloatware? Thanks for your feedback!
Anyways to upgrade my old alienware to windows 11?
Is anyone else having issues with windows 11 not updating. I have not had any issues with windows 11 on my M16 R1 until the last 2 weeks.
System update says: "your version of windows has reached the end of service". I cant get any newer version of windows on here.
Computer will work fine for 5-15 mins some times and then blue screen and restart. Sometimes it works fine if its left plugged in. I appreciate any ideas in advance!!!!
Specs:
CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700HX
GPU: 4070
Ram: 16gigs
Hello everyone, I am writing to share my experience in troubleshooting. I have an Aurora R16 top-of-the-line specs, less than six months old, that has been operating flawlessly until a few days ago. I recently installed the latest Windows 11 update, which immediately triggered Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors. Additionally, SupportAssist became inoperable, and AWCC feature ceased to function. The system became highly unstable as a result. It seems as though many drivers weren’t compatible Windows latest update. I definitely won’t be installing it anytime soon.
I eventually resolved the problem by performing a fresh install of Windows without installing to the 24H2 update or the Intel tuning driver from Alienware’s Model Support page. Surprisingly, AWCC installed itself and appeared to have installed the Intel tuning driver as well. Supportassist also appears to be working normally.
UPDATE 12/7: A newer build of 24H2 became available Thursday for my specific r16 model. I’ve updated it and everything seems to be working as it should. Ive vigorously stress tested the GPU and CPU, no BSODs or errors.
