Our friend from down under Shane Miller (GPLama on YouTube) recently posted a video to help Windows-using Zwifters who may be considering upgrading to Windows 11. Shane says, “In this video I cover the upgrade process (fast-tracked), I perform a number of Zwift benchmarks, and show you how to move that start button back over to the LEFT!”

Benchmark Results
Shane’s average framerate didn’t change after upgrading to Windows 11 on both of his test machines.
He summarizes his findings thus: “I suspect if you have PC that the installation assistant passes all checks and tells you that you can go from Windows 10 to Windows 11, you’re unlikely to have any problems doing this upgrade.”
