On my Win11 AMD 5600G machine, to create and delete 100K files:

By the way, I thought you were scared to try this on your poor,
fragile Dimdows machine, in case something broke?

How’s it holding up so far? Did you have to do a reinstall afterwards?

Win11 rocks.  It's EXTREMELY stable, and almost glitch-free.  The ONLY tiny issue I have is every week or so the mouse cursor will stick in place for about a second.

But it's incumbent on me to say: MS has had many years to get 'Windows Update' right and can't seem to.  Check for Updates is now speedy, which is good, but a recent update (the 60th+) has failed to install multiple times, and now I'm being prompted to 'Reinstall to repair system files and components'.  Everything continues to work fine, but the OS is saying it's in a state of disrepair.

MS is doomed.

 There is a way to get rid of those failed updates and force Windows Update to try it again: <https://www.minitool.com/data-recovery/fix-windows-11-10-updates-failed-error-in-windows-update.html> . I'd try that first.
 I'd try sfc /scannow second, and dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth last.

Thanks.  If it happens again I'll give those a shot.
Part of the reinstall was to get a clean Registry, but I looked at it right after installation and it's just a big mess no matter what.  I have a weird OCD thing where I can't concentrate my best with a disorderly computer.  Just knowing the Registry is so horrendously packed with unreadable nonsense, and C:\Windows and C:\Users\<usr>\AppData is full of odd folders and files, bothers me.  I try not to think about it.  My personal data drive is organized to a T.
Also: no MS account used during install.  Choose 'install for work or school' and you can bypass the acct requirement.  And OneDrive was installed, but nothing was copied to it by default.
MS aims at the lowest common denominator beginning user, so Windows tries to do a LOT of handholding by default.  I turned a ton of settings from On to Off.
