Test drive Windows 11 or Linux BEFORE upgrading, EASY & FREE

Windows 11 can be described as Windows Vista as they are the same rubbish.

So, really this is about testing out software or a new WINDOWS OS because Linux can be run from a USB disk without installing it. I personally don't run Linux this way, I imagine you can install software during that session and test but of course when you shut down and restart, you are back to the original ISO image running so anything you did is gone.

I do the simple thing of running both Linux and Windows as dual OS because when I run Linux most of the time, I don't need access to Windows. Windows is only for gaming and a rare Microsoft software package I need to run every now and then and since my motherboard is loaded for bear (3 NVMe ports) it's easy enough to where I don't want to run a VM just to go into Linux where I am most of the time and I don't want to do VM for a gaming machine so, dual boot.

There might be a "save state" function that will keep the settings for resolution etc before closing it out. Almost every Linux distro lets you run it live from a USB stick without installing, but if you want to try Linux and install apps I'd recommend using this method. I run both windows and Linux so am no stranger to both oses. In fact, my Linux box is a Ryzen 3 3200g because I love the built-in GPU and can't fault it.
Very good video, I may give this player a go but not for win11 because I saw it was still laggy on it too lol.

Thanks Scott, clear and concise!
