Well, it wouldn't be that way if windows 11 wasn't complete shit. Just started a new job - windows 10 on the old work computer, windows 11 on the new one, and I can't find a single fucking thing in a timely manner. For fucks sake, they moved the fucking shutdown button that's been in the same spot for 20 years.

My first thought with W11 was 'why'. Why do I need extra clicks to do what I normally can do with 1? Why do I need to click 'more options' to get the 7zip dialog to unzip multiple files to their own folders? WTF WHY?!!!!

Because they want to be your mommy. There is some voodoo to being buried behind that other layer or not. Notepad++ eg isn't. Winrar is on the upper level. Shit's weird.

Because they are hiding the old UI. Windows is like a patchwork of different UI elements now.

Still rocking 10 at home, parents, family, etc. PCs at work still on 10 except the most recently purchased. Between the nagware and articles in my newsfeed....windows 11. Do i gotta?
To get the most out of the newest AMD CPUs I'm pretty sure you need to. I doubt they're going to patch 10 with the updates for them.

Is there an alternate media creation tool or resource people use to do installs? I’ve tried to get the Microsoft version to work on my laptop and Desktop and it craps out on both. Pretty confident it isn’t my USB drive at fault as I’ve used it for plenty of other things without issue.
Was using whatever is available here:

Think the main reason I was being stubborn about this usb drive is because I've recently used it for RetroPi and RaspPi images as well as some computer wipe bootable drive for a neighbor who wanted to erase an old work laptop.

Ventoy
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.

SAMSUNG BAR Plus 3.1 USB Flash Drive, 128GB, 400MB/s, Rugged Metal Casing, Storage Expansion for Photos, Videos, Music, Files, MUF-128BE3/AM, Champagne Silver
i wanted the fast xfer speed thumbdrive (within reason) and i wanted a real company, not weird chineseium memory this was the best deal, it's so good that if you click on the 64gb, it costs more

IDK cheap ones die all the time in my experience. Especially if they are subject to constant read/writes like my 3d printers like to do.
