Some people of course need the ability to test their apps on both.
But then having two computers with the different versions is the best way to do that anyways.

Or a VM.

VMs have gotten better but if a customer has a exotic problem then one less factor in the testing might make it easier to demonstrate.

Get a win 11 box. You will have to do sometime it anyway plus you will have two boxes to test with.

Thanks everyone for your replies! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
My Win10 box is less than 6 months old so I don't feel inclined to buy a new Win11 box. I'll therefore follow OG's advice and do an image backup before performing an in-place upgrade.

If you are used to keep taskbar icon programs ungrouped, then I will suggest to do not upgrade. It's not possible yet to ungroup taskbar icons. And it looks it will never be possible.
If I could, I would stick with Windows 10.
Windows 11 has just more fancy icons and reduced productivity, not increased. Nice for home users, but has not a good UX for professionals/developers IMO.

I've been upgrading Windows in-place on a weekly basis for several years, as my dev PC gets Windows Insiders builds (I started so I'd get the latest WSL builds as early as possible). In that time, I've had zero problems with the upgrade process and the problems I have had (a few BSODs) have been rare (for example, there was something about upgrading packages on my WSL Ubuntu install that caused a BSOD) and fixed in the next build.
Anyway - my PC has seen Windows 10 versions from around when WSL was introduced in 2016 through to now when I'm running Windows 11 build 25276, which'll likely result in Windows 11 23H2.

I am lucky in this regard...
I mostly work on my Dell Precision Laptop and it cannot be upgraded to Windows 11.

I've tried it twice so far and have gone back to Win 10. I don't remember what the problem was with the first attempt, but on the second try, things seem to work OK for about a week. Then a problem arose. I had been playing a game for about 3 days and on the 4th day Windows 11 decided that my game could no longer write save files to it's save file directory. All the fixes I could find on the web didn't fix the problem so I just restored Win 10 from my backup. I'm just going to wait to EOS before making the jump to Win 11. Hopefully, they'll have fixed their problems by then.

this: "My Win10 dev box "
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!! insert memes, I allow the forum to rape and pillage.
I work for myself. When my laptop or machine dies, it is financially painful (I'm IT, HR, CEO, and the guy paddling like heck). You never, ever, never risk your dev laptop.
Years ago, my children learned, you touch my laptop, I will adjust your attitude. My beloved wife would go to my laptop, and I'd ask her, "what are you doing?". I don't care what the answer was - mine was, "go do it on yours."
No touchie <--- that's french.
I love my wife - after 44 years, yeah I do. But Microsoft? Nah, don't think so. See another post I made - MS will delete your retreat path.
Ask yourself - do you feel lucky?

Ha ha! I hear you, but I've always owned only one machine (my dev + personal PC). Noone else has access to it (I live alone) and there are very few apps installed on it aside from VS. My non-code data is ruthlessly backed up and my source code lives at MS.

11th gen Intel is ok with Win11. But Win10 is a better OS for anything under 12th IMO.

Very lucky second guess.

I don't do TDD, but maybe you do?
If you do, do you include a test to ensure that calling a function with the same input a second time returns the same result, e.g. f(x) == f(x) ?
Doing so would have saved me a bunch of time and anxiety this morning when I found that last summer I had introduced a bug into a function which I very rarely call a second time in any of my utilities.
As it turns out, the function uses a static buffer area for temporary storage and I had forgotten to clear it. 
And it remained undetected until today, when I rebuilt probably the only utility I have which calls the function twice.

I don't.
What's the purpose of the static buffer, if you have to clear it on exit?
BTW: go functional!

Not having to reallocate it on each call. Depending on the input, it can get large. And I clear it on enter (unless I forget to).
The use of the buffer is to improve the performance of worst-case data.

This begs the question, why would that matter since you call the function only once in most of your utilities?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
