These things take time. Like at Lethargic National Bank.

Couldn’t you just use the one on your phone until you get your PC back?

And then... it takes a day or two to get it configured to the way you like it. 

So... will it come with Windows 11?

That was one of the great things about a huge organization.  You could get your PC rebuilt in about an hour, or if needed, replaced in about 5 minutes.

Probably.

Petite, if you have issues with Windows 11, post them here.  There are solutions available for most of them.

I think I have 11 on my Lenovo..but maybe it is just 10

To find out what version of Windows you have, right-click on the Start button and select Run.  Enter cmd into the run box and press Enter.  When the Command Prompt window appears, type winver and press Enter.  A window will appear with the Windows version and release information.  Type exit and press enter to close the Command Prompt window.

And if that doesn’t work try config.sys

 

Hmmm, I might be old.

Boy, I always get a little nervous because all kinds of odd things start happening when people turn things up from 10 to 11.

I volunteered for Win 11 on my laptop, along with being in the beta program.  I have not had any issues.

Ours took less than a day.   

Then again the down side...  Our IT was 'locked' in to programs and the OS systems for what seemed like forever.   I remember knowing I was going to finally get a new laptop,   If I recall I was on Windows XP at home and I wanted it at work too, to get away from Windows 95.   Nope.. the new laptop had a Windows XP sticker on it, but when they 'cloned' their standard operating system including programs to the new hard drive,, I got Windows 95 for another year.   The IT guy told me they had too many legacy programs that had to be updated to work on Windows XP so they paid Microsoft for Windows 95 support.

Well, you know me.  I got issues.
