Is Windows 11 needed, or strongly suggested, for gaming on an i5 12600K and ARC A770? I have all of my components to build my system with Windows 10, but have seen it suggested that Windows 11 is needed. I didn't get Windows 11 because I'm not that informed on Windows 11, yet. I think I can upgrade to Windows 11 from 10 now, correct?

Hello MarkP2,
Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.
As recommended by fellow community members, you can upgrade to Windows 11 to get a better overall performance based on your processor, even though it is totally compatible with Windows 10.
Here are some article that could help you with this:
Find Windows 11 specs, features, and computer requirements: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications?r=1

Please let me know if you have any additional concerns.

I'm running my Arc A770 on Manjaro with Linux 6.0 kernel and Mesa 22.2, it's great. 😉
But yes Win11 is likely preferred over Win10 for full DX12 Ultimate support and upcoming features like DirectStorage etc.

I really didn't want to upgrade to Windows 11, so a jump to Linux would be a stretch. Hahahaha
Thanks though,
Mark

There's also that. I kind of figured that I'd need to go to Windows 11; so build it, boot it, and upgrade it. Probably some swearing along the way, too. 😁
