Re: [BVARC] Comments welcome.... Windows 11S or Windows 11

2023-06-18 Thread John Denison via BVARC
The Windows 11S (also applies to Windows 10S) allows you to install 
software only from the Microsoft Store. I converted my Windows 10 & 11 
PC/laptop to the non-S version because I wanted to install Winlink 
software. If you want to use it for ham radio then it would be better to 
convert it to the non-S version of Windows unless the software you are 
installing is in the Microsoft Store.

Thank you for the reply  Rudy, and thanks for including your phone number!   

 My question was a little hazy…. it’s  a new HP laptop  and shipped with Win 
11.  And so far I like it.  But haven’t loaded any ham software.

I dont update the OS ver on computers unless I have a direct need that the old 
OS does not support.

Also as you stated this computer is for ham radio use, odds are any software 
you are using will be supported by Windows 10.    It may not be supported in 
Windows 11.
