I've been testing Windows 11 vs 10 21H2. I've come to the conclusion that even though Win11 is unpolished I actually do notice a ever so slight speed/performance/zippiness increase of the OS.
Win10 21H2 is still very very good and the normal computer user probably wouldn't be able to tell the...
Good news guys! There actually IS versions of Windows 10 that supports Alder Lake(s) CPU scheduling, We are not stuck to Win11 after all!!
Turns out version 21H2 is the supported version for Alder Lake and the new CPU scheduler, There's a few versions of 21H2. Windows 11 and Windows 10 19044.x
I changed mine to 1T a few days ago. I even installed Win11 again. Seems fine. My previous X570 Aorus Master set it's XMP at 1T but this board defaults to 2T.
Use Win11 since it's optimized for Alder Lake
I feel the NVIDIA Windows default driver it pulls in is better than the newer ones so i left it alone. 456.71. The other drivers i used MSI drivers. No problems with them.
Interesting I just bult my mother a similar setup. $495

MSI B560 Tomahawk WIFI
SKHynix Gold P31 NVME SSD 500GB
G.Skill Ripjaws V series 2x 8GB 3200mhz
Corsair 4000D case
I'd like to chime in and say the MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 is working great over here. Memory command rate stuck at 2T rather than 1T but that's due to a pre-mature BIOS.
