    Issues faced when Migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11

    I have been using Windows 10 PC for developing various Access projects for past several years with satisfactory performance for the user.
    Version I am using now is "Microsoft® Access® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2503 Build 16.0.18623.20178) 64-bit".
    As Windows 10 support from Microsoft will cease from October this year, I am preparing to migrate all the projects to Windows 11 PCS from next month.



    Sometime 2 years back itself I tested out some projects with Windows 11 when it was fairly new in the market.
    I faced some issues then:
    1. Fonts in the forms and reports changed in some places (from Calibri to Apto mostly). This issue was subsequently found even within Windows 10 when trying to move a project to a newly created Blank.
    2. Some queries were giving error messages.
    3. Some forms / reports involving mathematical calculations were taking much more time than when using Windows 10.
    At that time, I simply went back to using Windows 10 wherever possible.
    Where Windows 11 had to be used (new PCs), somehow I overcame the issues by debugging, changing fonts, etc., but had to live with the response time problem.

    My question to all is whether someone has compiled all the issues expected with Windows 11 and countermeasures in one comprehensive guideline document?
    If such a document is available, it would help greatly in migrating the projects smoothly with precautionary steps in advance.

    Not noticed that when I moved to Win11 and Office 2019.

    Never seen any of these issues so, I guess, something else was going on, thus such a paper probably doesn't exist.

    Is it to do with your current installation of 64 Bit access and your previous installation was 32 Bit?

    Hi moke123
    I went through the link you suggested and found it very interesting.
    Perhaps I will register into that forum when I start migrating to the new PC with Win11 next month.
    In general, I feel that Windows and Office updates regularly should take care of most of the issues.
    In the current PC I have been doing this meticulously for Win10.
    Definitely this accessforums.net has been extremely useful to me in all these years of my development work and surely I hope to continue using it with the new PC as well.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
