Is anyone running their Switch server on windows 11? (VM) How is the experience, taking into account how unreliable windows 11 is right now.
We are considering this option, because the newer versions of illustrator no longer support windows server OS and were hoping maybe anyone from here is already using switch on windows 11.

Re: Switch on Windows 11
Find alternatives to Illustrator for your workflows. What are you doing in Illustrator that is not possible in other software?

Re: Switch on Windows 11
We are printing pdfs with postscript. All our workfiles are in illustrator and we use the Print function of illustrator to create them for printing. I am aware that printing pdfs is an "ancient" way to do it today, but all the new options (save and export) are not working properly for us. The reason for this is that our color profiles don't work in save and export and we are kind of stuck with them for the time being.magnussandstrom wrote: ↑Sat Dec 13, 2025 8:34 pm Find alternatives to Illustrator for your workflows.

One option would be to print the pdfs in a separate computer and then send them to switch, but that would be a step backwards from the workflow we have today.
