Default Pro Tools compatibility with Windows 11

Hi Friends !

I am using latest version of pro tools (2021.10) on a windows-10 laptop and my windows laptop is compatible to run Windows 10. It has been one month since Windows 11 came out and I am struggling to find information on whether Protools is compatible with windows (unlike some other DAWs we have already confirmed their compatibility). Anyone running pro tools on Windows 11 and what is your experience. I will really like to upgrade to the latest Windows OS and want to ensure I do not have any hickups with pro tools.

Avid's requirements for "official" support/compatibility have always been far more stringent than most DAW developers so I wouldn't expect it for a few more months. I've always found Pro Tools to be just as reliable before it was "supported" as any other supposedly "supported" DAW on a new PC version. Plug-ins are typically where problems turn up for me.

There's a few early adopters of Win11 here on the DUC; do a search and you'll find several posts about W11. Seems like everything (Pro Tools, video engine, audio interface drivers, plugs) that worked in W10 is still working with W11. First take a boot drive image (Macrium Reflect Free or similar) of your working Win10 rig, & then try the upgrade to W11. Tell us how it works for you!

I know you are looking for personal experiences running Pro Tools on Windows 11, but just for future reference, here is a link to the Pro Tools Operating System Compatibility Chart

It seems normal here.
In fact, besides some UI changes, I find windows 11 to be identical to 10 in every way.. all the same audio apps and games work identically!
PT 2021 seems fine, other than the "not ideal" DPC latency of the Razer. The Lenovo has no such issues. I wonder if win 11 actually IS worse in latencymon, cause razers usually pass. Anyway, the app works.

I've been complaining about this for a long time as well, so anytime I see anyone post about it, I just need to show my support!

Same advice I give regarding any and every update: feel free to give it a go. Just have a backup plan if it goes sour

I am tracking an album for the next couple of weeks here and I spent last weekend setting up a new template in Win11 and PT 20.12. Not had one hiccup after about 10 hours of running the DAW, routing to 4 different hardware effects units and 3 different hardware compressors. The template is loaded with Omnisphere, and Keyscape for quick access to some layers of sound while tracking. The template also has a headphone feed built in. Using Fabfilter EQ, latest version, on most of the tracking channels when needed.

Smooth as butter. Using Lynx Aurora (n) 16 channels of conversion. I have 4 - 5 hours days ahead, if anything pops up, will let you know.
