Can confirm especially after issues with apt becoming bricked.
I just use zfs or btrfs snapshots (depends on the PC). I could use timeshift but I built my own way of doing it so I can make a mix of different ways of accessing the data and mounts into different subpartitions.
I do understand that non-techsavy people would prefer timeshift and that's ok :)

Video makes it seem so easy, glad to learn my 7th gen Intel CPU was the last gen before TPM 2.0 support.
This would've been better 2 days ago when I installed windows 11 out of hesitation. So far it's actually been pretty good
Mods, customizations to settings files, personal data, and non-cloud saved games. Backups are incredibly important, and this is just “in case something breaks”. Ransomware is just another reason to have backups. If you value your data-have at least two forms of backups in different locations, and make sure that the backups can’t get encrypted by ransomware. You’ll thank yourself later.
this is the only reason I like the new version of google drive:
the old one (backup and sync) was always active and continually updated the folder on the cloud so if you got a ransomeware you were out of luck.
The new one (google drive) dont start (for me at least) unless I launch the link and so the cloud files wont get updated unless I give the go.
is this a good program then? would you recommend anything else that is free?
no if a ransomware locks my pc i will get new pc lmao 😂.

Just so you know, the built in windows 10 rollback feature can be pushed out to 60 days, and probably should be for upgraders even if they did a backup image.
Jake doesn't settle.
Translation: he is one expensive employee.
Just want to throw Macrium Reflect in the ring. I've used this for years. It's free for personal use. And has a one-click button to backup all needed partitions of Windows to a single file backup.
+1, used it to keep my data when doing a fresh install of windows 10 to a new hardrive
I also use it... it has full and differential backups, but the incremential backups are a paid feature
try Active Disk Image free, it will have you questioning "where have you been all my life"
Also used this feature to clone my system drive from HDD to SSD. Works perfectly.
@@PITZ24701 I second this, I've used Macrium to mirror an HDD boot dive to an NVME SSD and it worked fine. Perhaps not the best option, a clean install is always best to avoid driver issues, but it will work! ^_^
You should do a non-sponsored video on Macrium Reflect Free. It basically has 99% of the features you'd want from Acronis for backups, but free.
Or maybe a full video on just backup options; windows shadow copy + 3rd party (free vs paid) etc.
I agree 100%! This video felt a little too much like a really long Ad.
Would be cool if they give a shout out to clonezilla, free and open source software. (No paid version)
Who's gonna sponsor that?
This was an ad.
I used macruim reflect to copy my sons hardrive when I built a desktop for him it was the only software that would copy the hardrive I tried acronis and clonezilla only macruim worked
But this is an ad. You don’t do ads for free software.
I like how hard he enjoys a good old tiling window manager feature.
Nothing crazy.

11:58 in case anyone didn't look closely, you can move the taskbar buttons from the center back to the regular left side if you don't like them centered.

Quick tip for Linus: you can just click on restart while holding Shift to go advanced startup
Which most people had forgotten about that. Although that is the same key to clear the RAM'S cache on Windows 7.
And also you can just hold the key to the BIOS.
What I don't like about that is that there's no feedback that you did it correctly. I've work with some slow machines (and sometimes over TeamViewer) and sometimes it doesn't work and I didn't know it didn't work a minute later and I have to wait for the whole boot cycle again. I just use the options because it always works
Not always work.
@@ErimlRGG completely agree with you.
Linus, can I update to W11 from 21H1 with just TPM 2.0 enabled and leave off Secure Boot in a W10 W7 dual boot system ?
I did this bypassing the TPM check on the setup I got from the iso. Other than missing quite some features that I was used to in windows 10, everything else is more or less similar.
"it's nothing crazy"
mentioning GPU that costs more than my PC
Linus: Windows has its own backup system but....
Me: ...but they aren't paying you to sponsor this video we get it.
Nope, its that windows back up can be sketcky AF. Sometimes it lives out the most important things like keys or critical files. Shadow copy is hit or miss. If a needed file is running, it often wont copy that meaning your back up is missing the most basic files to even boot. And it takes forever. And youre just not sure.
I often find myself taking out the drive and backing it up on my Ubuntu pc. But window occassionally has a known glitch when you do that. I stopped after i lost 10gb of unbacked anime rips. I had moved and no longer had the discs. So that was probably $10000 loss. There was a way to recover it, but learning curve was to steep. $50 bucks to acronis prevents all of that. Some HDDs have a free full copy. I think pny ssds have a limited copy.
Why are you angry? You want Linus to provide you a service for free? No such thing as a free lunch, who is going to fund it? The government? You some sort of commie?
@@amihart9269 the government does indeed fund free lunch programs
The last time Windows Backup was updated, Windows 8 wasn't released yet.
I did the Win11 upgrade 10 days ago and am absolutely in love with the new window management thing.
It's the best feature for me in Win11.
Better late than never
Yeah w11 is very snappy and fast compared to w10 since better optimization. I love it
ive been debating upgrading my laptop to W11 but my question is does all your apps and programs work correctly? Have you had any major issues? Just trying to get insight before making the jump..
@@Arqul_ how badly? I usually keep mine plugged in but I'm just curious
For the record, Windows 11 also has a "Go back" option in the recovery section after updating, which worked fine to downgrade my Windows install back to Win10 after I found out you can't resize the Taskbar.
"It went straight to the corner!"
Yeah, great. 10 years after KDE added that Windows finally get it...
I think win 10 has had it for a year or two but they are so bad at advertising new *actually* useful features.
@@Yobleck Yep its also on Windows 10
You know what, I'm not gonna lie. I think the new Window management is literally the ONLY good thing they did with Windows 11. LOL That's fucking sad.
@@arnox4554 Except there is no new window management in Windows 11, it's all in either Windows 10 natively or in Mocrosoft's own Power Toys application. All Windows 11 did was slim down the Power Toys tool and bake it right into the OS.
Strange, again my comment has been deleted?
Note: Windows 11 has a built in rollback feature to go back to Windows 10 within 10 days of installing the update. You don’t need Acronis for that.
But then it wouldn't be a sponsor.
Windows 11 also has a unique code to track you better than any browsing cookie... Its a code that enables global surveillance of your system via the TPM's unique code, which can lead to your entire PC being banned by e.g. Steam or tracked by a government (any government)... Windows 11 isn't great if you're in any way concerned about privacy... And you'll need a lot more than Acronis to keep your TPM code secure!
I think Acronis was more in case something happened that required a clean install
Hmm..you can't depend on it..I couldn't get the feature to fully work when I upgraded to Windows 10, 6 years ago..and I am not the only one
@@pauldavis221 Oh do you remember the unique code Intel Pentium chips had that people got all bent out of shape about so Intel had it disabled by default?
i still have a question: If you back up your windows 10 files and stuff on a hard drive then do a clean fresh install of windows 11 (maybe even on a different computer), can you still just plug in the backup drive and install your backed up files?
Some software will work if you just copy it from a backup location to where it was installed yet for majority of apps it probably won't.
I've been doing this since like forever. I always thought this was the usual and expected way to do things. A quick backup (I use Acronis True Image), test it, and if it sux or borx my rig just restore the whole thing as it was. I actually had to do this when I tried a straight updated from Win10 to Win11, it didn't go well, so I restored everything, waited a few weeks for Microsoft to iron some things out and then decided to do a fresh install instead of an upgrade (my Win10 was getting reeeeealy old anyway so a fresh start didn't hurt).

You can also hold shift when you press restart to bring up the advance menu to boot into bios.

You can thank Dr. Ian Cutress from Anandtech for that.
So you need to install Backup software or can it be started directly from the backup drive? What is od the OS is bricked?
As someone who has been daily driving Windows 11 for more a month, I say its the 2nd best version of Windows I've used
Is it better then windows 10?
I'll ask the question we're all thinking... what's the 3rd best?
@@Eitan470 I say that it is. The default icons look far better than 10's default icons. I also actually like the centred taskbar. The start menu by default is also not as cluttered as Windows 10 by default. Still cluttered, but not as much.
For this purpose. A full system image using something like 'dd' is easily the most reliable and still potentially the fastest method. You have a perfect clone of your OS, and there's no complex backup software inbetween you and your data.
Too often these backup programs wig out and without being able to tamper with the software, your data is kind of in limbo.
Takes absolute ages though and can potentially even be very expensive if you have something like a 1 TB drive. I still think booting from a small drive and storing files on an a secondary large drive is still the ideal PC setup specifically for the fact it makes imaging the drive and recovering it incredibly easy, but most people don't use that setup anymore.
@@amihart9269 You have to set block size parameter for it to be faster. Also dd will allow to copy encrypted drive. +1 for smaller system drive and larger data have exact setup, if something goes wrong I can wipe system drive without worrying about documents
He only used Acronis because he was sponsored to do so.
dd copies empty space which is very useless and space wasting.
dd makes it all too easy to shoot a leg or two off in the process. What if you mess up which drive is the source and which is the destination before managing to make even a single backup? Accidentally overwriting the source is easily my biggest fear there, and I'm not buying the whole "this has never happened to me" argument - it is only true until it happens. As much as once.
Very recently, I had a relatively trivial task of cloning one external drive with not entirely irrecoverable data but the kind of thing setting you back a month or two if you lose it to another one of the same make and model. I've ended up opting to go through hoops and transfer it via another drive of a different size, also actually using Acronis stuff instead of piping the dd output into gzip.
If you are actually anxious about the data you don't use something with virtually no protection built-in and which can lead to a total data loss with just 1 letter typo (seriously, was the source /dev/sdc or /dev/sdd? Are you sure? Are you *really, really* sure?)
"What can go wrong?!"
I don't know, Linus. Maybe you YEET the test system off the table...
I love how windows 11 taskbar has the option to move the fancy center start menu to the left!
so if we do a recovery, does we need to install back all the driver or it has been installed?

Unless they were nudged by a certain CPU manufacturer with CPUs that supposedly work better on windows 11 to put out more info immediately on how to update so people will be more apt to buy their CPUs.

LTT aren't the only ones who benchmark Windows 11, check out Hardware Unboxed and Gamer's Nexus.
There is slightly less FPS but overall performance is the same.
I agree
@@muizzsiddique yea but they use intel cpus rather than amd
It's with the new Intel chips, but this checks windows 10 v 11
ruclips.net/video/XBFTSej-yIs/видео.html
Basically there's no difference except windows 11 is more buggy
This video feels more like an ad for that software.
If you wanna try out Windows 11 safely, just install it on a VM.
Its stated right at the start it is a sponsored video so yes its an ad for the software.
Or make a bootable USB using WinToUSB, which is even better way to test it than a VM since you get to actually make sure it's compatible with your hardware.
I wonder if every combination of processor and whatnot is checked for issues before the upgrade is offered through Windows Update.
I have an ASUS Z170-AR motherboard with an Intel i7 6700 processor. If I get the TPM adapter for the motherboard, could I install Windows 11?
My laptop meets every requirement - including TPM2.0 - except the CPU. It’s an A10. Runs Windows 11 just as well as it ran Windows 10. It’s not the fastest machine, but it’s very usable.
@AZ Entertainment get a virus? What do you mean? TPM bypass is simple but even if you don't update from 10 to 11, how can someone get a virus? 10 will receive security patches till 2025.
So I've been road testing Windows 11 on my Ryzen 5 3600 16GB DDR4 + RTX 2060 for about a month now. Because of the concerns about Windows 11 being buggy and unstable, I cloned my Windows 10 SSD to another SSD. I then updated the cloned Windows 10 to 11 in case I needed to switch back to 10 quickly. So far so good! Plus I am able to switch between OS's in case of any compatibility issues.
lol i have same exact specs
i have ryzen 5 3600
rtx 2060
and 16 gb ram
but thats just a coincidence
may i ask you what cooler do you use and what are your idle and load temps of r5 3600?
Do you recommend 11 over 10? Is it as pretty as they say?
.
@@JohnnyZenith yes! You may experience bugs from time to time, but they’re far from common. And plus, a lot has improved, like the search bar
I have same setup except for the gpu its a 3070 but I didn't upgrade because I thought it might be broken and I'm doing fine on Windows 10 but I upgraded my gaming laptop with Ryzen 7 5800H 32GB RAM RTX 3070 and it worked almost perfect! There are some minor bugs and problems but I'm considering installing it on my main PC!
Maybe a tech quickie idea of what specific manufacturers call TPM on their motherboards would be a good idea. As far as I'm aware they can be called different things
I got the notification on my dell xps 15 a couple of days ago that it's ready to upgrade to Windows 11 and it's tempting but I think I'm gonna wait a bit more for more bugs to surface and get fixed.
Plus, both of my ssds are full, with like less than 16gb free space on each one so I can't really upgrade until I make some space anyway xD
When I finally move to Windows 11, It's going to be a full on fresh install.... Damn the torpedoes!
Don't try without protection, son
Once again, Linus shows stuff that i will never have in my life.
I'd like to see a video showing how to push a Windows 11 update to all the PCs on your network. This may or may not be possible, but it's always interested me how network-wide updates are pushed by sysadmins. I have 5 Windows PCs on my home network plus a Linux file server, so it would be fun to use the Linux server to push updates to all the Windows PCs automatically.
I've been on Windows 11 since the initial "leak" and haven't had any major issues.
Ryzen 7 5800X
1080 Ti
32 Gb of ram and it has felt the same as windows 10.
no 30% slow down ?
@@Puppyjans me too I have no issue
"Haven't had any major issues"
*"Windows 10"*
Yup, been using Windows 11 for almost 5 months, also stayed on the leak, then went to the Beta channel and now I'm in stable. Not a single problem whatsoever.
All these scare articles about Windows 11 actually make me laugh, and I'm here with a Ryzen 5 4650G (almost like an R5 3600 but with a Vega iGPU (there are slight differences in the CPU portion of the chip though)), and still get 70fps on Warzone 720p lowest settings, just like Windows 10.
@@Puppyjans Yeah man I tried it on my 8th gen core i5 and there is no slow down. Windows 11 is ok in terms of optimization. Even while gaming it was just fine no drop in frame rates.
Gotta say, I upgraded to Windows 11 in-place right at the start and had no issues. I did get a TPM 1.2 module for my boards though.
I'm pretty sure you can do "snap to corner" with arrow keys in Win 10.
For those who don't want to pay for Acronis, Macrium Reflect might be up your alley.
@@Napert first snap to the side. Then snap up or down. So Win + Left followed by Win + Up will put it in the corner in Windows 10.
Yeah, that's how I did it but it's almost as fast; we're talking milliseconds difference.
fun tip, hold shift while clicking the restart button, gets you into the same recovery menue without having to dig through stuff.
Thanks, I always had to go through settings app > System > recovery
I upgraded my W10 Home to W11 Home day one, literally had 0 issues except a couple of visual bugs. All my peripherals and everything works normally. I like W11 so far.
I've had to reinstall windows 10 at least 5 times on my pc due to updates making my drive non-bootable. At this point, I've got all of my programs, sensitive files, and music on separate drives, a pre-made iso with all of the programs that I use loaded on to it, and Linux just in case. I have windows, but I can't really wine, so it is what it is.
I've ran Windows 10 since the first week of release. I've never had an update cause me problems like that. Did you buy or build your PC?
@@kaldo_kaldo either way, something is pretty wrong with it
sounds like ugot some shit ssd or hdd bruh
Sounds like you need to troubleshoot the issue instead of letting Microsoft duck you over
I've had many clients who either brought their computers in with an OS corruption after an update or it would become corrupt after I updated it.
Sometimes it affects one system but not the next. Even though stress testing the RAM and CPU as well as confirming that the storage device is at a 100% integrity.
Although my personal pc which is a 4th gen has never had an issue 🤣
"it will blow your data cap".
Laughs in Dutchman. No data caps on home internet connections 👀👌🏻
Not anywhere in Europe that I know of, having caps on a home connection really sounds like a dystopia
@@SherftWTF Same thing for me in the US. I’m sure there is some crappy ISP somewhere here that probably has a data cap but all the major ones that I’ve ever used havent had one for home connections.
@@SherftWTF mine is 1TB but I rarely finish it. And theres like 5 of us using it too
The only major US company that I know with data caps is AT&T U-verse, which is some of the worst internet anyway
Here in Canada (and where LTT is) residential internet is basically always unlimited data cap (except for realllly low end speed tiers, or if you are using fixed wireless or something in rurual areas).
Linus: What could go wrong?
PC: *LET ME SHOW YOU*
Does coming back to windows 10 after the update of windows 11 work if you just use an image of your drive that you created before hand with Macrium Reflect 7 Free?
Been using Windows 11 for nearly a month now, doing development work and gaming and haven't experienced any bugs or problems.
Thanks, Linus. I installed it on my rig as I bypassed the unsupported CPU mess with a USB flash drive.
Great video! Just what I needed
I wish they would include "storage spaces" in this kind of upgrade information.
"If you don't have anything nice to say, better say nothing at all" Thanks Linus
I always fresh install as well. Most of the time I will fresh install after a major feature update just to make sure nothing breaks down the line.
LTT turned me onto Bitdefender, last year and I have a 15 machine family license installed on multiple PCs and Macs. I also have a 3 PC license for Acronis True Image (used them for years). So, what if I don't want to upgrade my True Image to the new protect version, and want to keep using Bitdefender with included VPN for protection? Will they play nice together, Like Bitdefender and Malwarebuytes does? (MB only installed on Macs).
Is there a video testing rig performance on 10 vs 11 like same pc and games different OS?
I did a fresh install of Windows 11 on a new build this week. It looks great and is working well except for a minor problem with waking up after sleeping. The desktop is more visually appealing and has some nice features. However, I was pleased with Windows 10 and never had a problem or crash with it. I hope 11 proves to be as solid.
I noticed my computer's issue with waking from sleep mode seems to have been resolved in a couple of recent updates to Windows 11.
Install / update your motherboard/chipset drivers first, then the GPU ones, those sleep issues are usually driver related/driver power management.
Soon as linus says what could go wrong I kinda expect him to drop some hardware
Lmao
My laptop has tpm2 but my cpu is not listed in windows11s specsheet, and their utility also says that my cpu isnt in their specsheet. Can I manually install 11 or am I simply outta luck here ?
hey Linus Tech Tips and friends I am still on windows 10 I wanted to know after windows 11 updates is it the time to upgrade to windows 11 or its still buggy and we should wait
