-IF I update to Windows11, W.B.11 and Start11... Will Users still on Winows10 still be able to use Skins and themes created on/for Windows11 ??
PLEASE give me input on this matter as I'm thinking of updating all to 11! !

Well Andy, I don't have anything to add, other than, I have the same question as you do. I only have one machine that is upgradeable to Win 11, and it's my laptop, which I'm using for skinning, other words, I spend most of my time on a Mac OS system. Beings that I'm getting back into skinning again, (like I said) I have the same question as you do, so hopefully someone (granted it's the weekend) will enlighten us.

I have put some of my skins that were created on Windows 10 on Windows 11 and tested them and they seem to only have very minor issues Andy. I even made some changes using SKS 11 and put the skin back on Windows 10 and it seemed to be fine, but I have not done one totally on Windows 11 and tried it on Windows 10 yet. This probably doesn't help with your question, but I thought I'd let you know what I have experienced so far.

Hi don5318.
If you have other machines that ran Win 10 ok , you can use the Rufus method i listed in my topic to install Win 11 with no issues, almost all of the system requirements for Win 11 are for some future point and i am not seeing or reading anything to say that future point is anytime soon, allowing you plenty of time to use Win 11 on any machine that ran Win 10 well, testing it out and getting a feel for it.

Well, narron1, my laptop is an intel 11th Gen i3, it came with Win 11, I went to Win 10 for skinning purposes only, I'm in the process of getting a 1TB M.2, so as to setup a dual boot system, so I can have Win 10 on one partition, then Win 11 on the other, that way, I can install WB11, Start11, and SKS 11 to experiment with, while still being able to skin on Win 10.
Sorry Andy, for hijacking your Forum subject matter...

Apologies neoene6, just trying to help out. don5318, i have a 4 SSD Multi Booting System, 2 Win 10s and 2 Win 11s, have been running it for around a year now so get what you intend to do, may as well have 2 OSs to compare things, thus able to report back here in the forum.
