Windows 11 and Premiere Pro - Should I MOve from Windows 10 Pro?

[JonesVid]

So I am currently about to build a new Windows PC machine for my main editing work, based on Z690 and Intel 13900K.

I have stuck with my DDR4 as want to re-use the 64GB of fast RAM I have

Now remaining question is if I should rebuild with Windows 10 Pro 64bit ?.

My feeling is yes - but wanted to get comments from users on Windows 11 - particularly on any specific issues and (importantly) Performance backward steps. I saw an early post showing performnace on Windows 11 was notably worse (Puget banchmark) - that was back in 2021 though.

I read that before Premiere Version 22.x there were issues with Windows 11 for support of older projects.

I also see Puget Systems using Windows 11 on systems builds.

Any recommendations / and or horror stories welcomed before I hit the go button on the Upgrade build !.

Thank you for reposting on Video Hardware. I somehow missed that category ...

Having looked around I found the Puget Systems report looking at this question using Intel 12900K and Premiere Pro.

There appears to be a marginal gain in sticking with Windows 10 at present, but I am sure more importantly is to look at using multiple fast solid state drives where applicable and for Media Cache/ Media / Projects

It would however be good to hear any experience users have had with this.

Even though Premiere Pro runs marginally faster on Windows 10 than on Windows 11, I would recommend the OS upgrade to Windows 11 anyway because Windows 10 (as of now) has only two-and-a-half years total remaining of support. And the current feature update to Windows 10, 22H2, may be the very last feature update for Windows 10 that Microsoft will ever release, with only critical security fixes continuing to be made for that OS until its targeted EOSL date of October 2025. And once Windows 10 goes EOSL there will be no more security fixes ever for that OS.

[JonesVid]

Well that make good sense. The EOL issue for W10 was at the back of my mind actually.

As no horror stories have emerged I will probably go ahead and download MediaCreator for Windows 11. I assume it works the same way as for Windows 10.

The countdown to Windows 10's EOSL officially began this week with the official announcement from Microsoft that the current feature update, 22H2, would be the very last feature update that would ever be released for Windows 10. From now until the official EOSL in October 2025, only critical security updates will be issued for that OS.

As a result of this, although the forthcoming major version of Premiere Pro (24.0) will continue to support Windows 10, the major version after that (25.0) may absolutely require Windows 11 just to even install at all.

[JonesVid]

Just to confirm shortly after your very first post I went ahead with the build on Windows 11 with all latest updates and system is running well.
I still want to run some benchmark tests on it though.

For my previous system I assume I'll need a TPM module to upgrade it.
