@Chuen L-Great Video. I just purchased a Surface Pro 7 for a nice price. I want to upgrade the storage and go to Windows 11. Question: Windows 11 comes in a few different versions. Home and Pro are the two I am considering. Can I install Windows Pro or stick with the home version? I want the Pro version or Pro Workstations, but I do not want to bottleneck the performance in any way. I really appreciate any help you can provide.
@@ChuenL did you try affinity designer or illustrator and how smooth are the designing apps. Can the i5 take the heat from basic programming like R, or is it too much for the system.
Hey, I haven't tried either illustrator or designer apps. I have tried icons8.com/lunacy and it seems to be fine. I think basic R programming should be fine as well. Just be careful when you have other things in the background such as docker or if your'e screen sharing via a video call. That seems to kick the fans off a bit
"You do hear the fan kick off" .... fan.. Surface Pro 7. mine doesn't have one, perhaps the i7 does? I guess your apps would run fanless (i have the i5 and it multitasks fine).. try messing with the cpu throttling, you should be able to retain fast performance without the fans. cool vid btw.. love the tone, ideal! feature request: full screen / width screen capture for software :)
Hey! Yes, you should be able to. You will have to be prepared to do a complete clean install. You can try either of these methods: support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d or www.how2shout.com/how-to/balenaetcher-how-to-create-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive-using-etcher.html Hope that helps.
The video is very good! I have installed the Win11 on my Surface Pro7. But I lost the facial sign-in function. it works facial sign-in on your Surface pro 7 with new Win11 ?
If you do an upgrade rather than clean install, you shouldn't lose anything. But keep a backup just in case. All apps will still be there. But I'd check any apps if they are incompatible with Windows 11 by going to their website.
@@ChuenL Pls forgive my delay in thanking you! Yes, according to my update, it's ust that an upgrade! I'm not a gamer but rather someone who uses SP7 for creating art for my women humor greeting card line... I'm dying to try so I may upgrade today! Teeth still chattering and yes, will of course check if the particular app that I use is compatible! Will let you know!
PS... This is my second Surface Pro....Luuuuuuve the product & only wish from 5 to 7 the battery life was better but by keeping battery saver on and few apps open, I can get 6 - hours and longer if I'm of course not on it the entire time!
Great overview of Win 11. Thanks for the summary and clear review!
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback and hope it was helpful 👍

Yeah, I think only the i7 ones do have a fan. Interesting. Didn't know that. Thanks for the support and checking out the vid 👍
Hi @chuen, anyway I can downgrade my Surface Pro 7 back to Win10? I got my SPro7 from 2nd market and it came with Win11. Thanks a lot!

I keep postponing installing on my Surface Pro 7... will I lose any of my apps and in particular drawing apps?
