I've been testing Windows 11 Insider Preview for a couple of months and here's my take. Stability can vary depending on the build and your specific hardware, but overall, the recent ones have been relatively stable for a preview. The updated Start Menu and Taskbar look great and enhance multitasking with features like Snap Layouts. Widgets and virtual desktops also add a nice touch.
However, there are some quirks. Some users have reported network connectivity issues and performance drops, particularly on older hardware, and occasional glitchy animations. If your workflow depends on certain apps or peripherals, compatibility can be a gamble in these early builds.
For critical projects or tasks, I’d recommend keeping it on a secondary device. This way, you can test new features without risking system stability. If you're willing to tinker and troubleshoot, though, it's a fun experience that offers a glimpse into future updates. Have you had any specific features in mind that you're eager to test?
