Has anyone had any issues with Ez cad 2 or RD works software after upgrading to windows 11? I haven't upgraded my machines yet but I'm getting the nag screens to upgrade and not sure if it's a good thing to do.

Thanks

I'm no help, my only Win10 computer is so breathtakingly S L O W to do ANYTHING that I won't even consider 11. My machines are all run by XP's and 7's, nothing newer.

I just rebuilt 2 computers in the past 6 weeks, a used Dell Optiplex 790 I installed Win7 Ultimate on, and my old Win8.1 HP Pavillion 500PC that lost its hard drive a few years ago... The 7 is as breathtakingly FAST as the 10 is slow, and the fresh 8.1 Pro reinstall on the HP might be all of 2 shades faster than the 10, really disappointing.

The ONLY reason for the 8.1 build is for online use-- because MS is screwing up any Win7's that are online, I'm rebuilding all my 7's and keeping them offline so they'll actually work decent.

Anyway, rant aside, because EzCad is a "no-install" program I doubt win11 will have any adverse affect on it, but no clue about RD works...

I've seen several reports that say no issue with 11. Only my newest PC will upgrade and it's not on a laser. I just replaced the 'home' pc my wife and I use last year and I'm looking at refurbing the old pc that has the HD dying. It was win 7 originally and if I can find old software, might reinstall.....
