I just received a Dell computer with Windows 11 pre-installed.  I purchased it because I 
didn't own 1 computer capable of the Windows 11 O/S.  I got a great deal on it so I 
didn't mind buying it so I could try it out.

What a chore for me to install all of the programs that I normally use on a daily basis!   
Since I do web design, I need my HTML editing program, and then I had to enter each 
website along with its log in and password so I can easily reach the site when needed.  
That only took me about an hour since I have quite a few that I own or manage :(

I had to install RoboForm so I can easily retrieve all of my passwords.  I had to install 
Malwarebytes as well.  I know there has been some negative feedback about the 
program, but it is a necessity for me because most of my domains are online Directory 
sites where anyone can submit their site to.  I do not add any that come back as 
potential malware sites.

I had to set up my Remote Desktop so I can reach my main hobbylinebbs.com server 
when needed.

I am sure there are more programs that I will need to add in the future.

Anyway, I still think it is money well spent as Windows 10 support will end next year and 
I want to be ready.
