Regarding an upgrade to Windows 11 on an older PC already running Windows 10, I strongly suggest you put it off as long as possible. You do need to upgrade to Windows 10 22h2 because it is the latest version that will be supported with any updates (including security) after October 31. Windows 10 22h2 will be supported until October 31, 2025 and there should not be issues doing that upgrade. There is really no reason to annoy yourself with an upgrade to Windows 11, which often can cause issues on older PCs. The only PC on which I run Windows 11 is a new one purchased last year that came with Windows 11 installed. At times, I find it rather annoying and of no real benefit but it is what it is. I have come up with workarounds or purchased utility programs to alleviate some of the annoyances. I highly recommend installing PTE AV Studio 11 as many the new features really are helpful and some are real timesavers. Windows 11, on the other hand, really doesn't do much of anything for a home user and that upgrade may cause you all sorts of grief.

Hi Ken, Thanks for purchasing the upgrade to V11 ! If you have already used V10, then the new V11 has almost exactly the same interface, we just added new features, effects, styles. No need to relearn everything from a scratch. PTE AV Studio 11 works great on Windows 10, and also on Window 11, and even on Windows 7. My PC at home uses Windows 11 and my desktop PC at our office has Windows 10. Ken, Rosy, I'm impressed that you learn all new versions of our app. Your energy and desire to learn new things are worthy of admiration and respect. I humbly hope that I will be able to do the same when I reach 80+ years old

Hi Aplman I'm a year behind you at 83. been using PTE since 2007. I use W11 in my PC. I've slowed down in recent years but used to be prolific in producing shows. Nowadays I try to produce one a month just to keep my hand in. Our main difference is, I always download the latest version of PTE or its upgrades as soon as they are announced. I have my PTE programme set to download the latest upgrades automatically & over-ride the last version. I don't use many of the new innovations, I've never used a custom style, PTE's standard styles suit my style. Most of my shows contain mostly video clips & I use most of PTE's video innovations as I couldn't afford an expensive video editor. I use PTE's sound editing programme infrequently as I was brought up on Audacity & can't shake it off. I think you said you have tried 11 but went back to 10. The way i do things I don't really notice any difference in the upgrades unless one comes along that I might try just to see if I can get it to work, if I can't I just carry on as before. Rosy

Hello igor, Thank you for noticing my post. I feel honoured that you have replied to me. I did buy the upgrade (V11) some time ago but I am labouring under difficulties at the moment. At age 84 my brain is not what it used to be, so I try to take simple steps. Windows 11 or PTEAV11 - which step first? I was hoping for some guidance from the forum but I don't think I ever got a reply to that one. Anyway thank you for your great product and great support thank you igor.

Javier, thank you very much! I finally figured it out and this method really works! It has become much more convenient to work.
