So an interesting challenge I have comming up. I want to try dual booting my system across WIndows 10 Pro and Windows 11 Pro operatings systems
|
My son does this between Windows 8.x, Windows 10 and Windows 11 (all pro) and the easiest way is he boots from a flash drive with the particular OS on it set up as bootable (ISO from memory, I forget more than I remember now). Multi boot hard drives can be problematic at times.

That said , the latest Threadrippers are quite remarkable. I'd likely avoid
Intel and go there again if I were to update my current machine.

Take your bank manager, they are far from cheap.

That's just the processor.
96 core 192 threads but very little software to take full advantage in astronomy circles (possibly in paid software I can't afford to play with, I haven't researched that).
I must admit I like AMD processors, they've been better bang for the buck for a long time and were the first to 500Mhz, then 1Ghz.
I spent years studying IT and building and repairing PCs at a component level on boards back in the XT and 286/386/486 days when everything wasn't plug and play and I hear so many people say "don't even get me started on AMD builds", hinting there's always a problem. I've never come across any problems with AMD builds. The bigger issue is people not doing the research, RAM for Intel is different from RAM for AMD (didn't used to be but is now) and if matching of hardware is researched and done correctly they are an amazing machine.
