[dba-Tech] What is the purpose of the $WinREAgent directory?

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Arthur

I’ve upgraded nearly all machines that can, even my two old ThinkStations (using the method I’ve posted before).
What’s missing, are two 32-bit Lenovo pads (Windows 11 is 64-bit only) and our old Surface Pro, but that will be done during the weekend.

I always do a clean install (don’t save anything).
No issues so far.

Thanks, Stuart. And speaking of upgrades, when I booted this morning I got
a notice, before anything else happened, that MS recommends that I upgrade
to Windows 11. Maybe I re4eceived this because I'm a Windows Insider. I
don't recall specifically asking for it.

Any windows 11 users on this list having upgraded? Impressions? Did
anything within Windows or outside it cease to work right? Did anything
require a re-installation?
