TL;dr - If you are on Win 10, no rush to upgrade. Microsoft will provide support until 2025. There's nothing that's a must-have in Win 11 you need right now. I use Win 10 (work) and Win 11 (home) not too much of a difference from either day-to-day tasks. Gaming sees a slight improvement, but won't be noticeable for most. If you have an HDR monitor, Win 11's auto HDR feature and general HDR tweaks makes games look better. If you don't game, or you game and don't are about those features, there's no real difference. What was going to be Win 11-only gaming enhancements are now coming to Win 10 (direct storage, HDR and other gaming-related tweaks). These features are in the current Win 10 Insider's Program. Running Android apps on Win 11 is okay, but if you don't use Android you most likely won't care. Win 11 does have some UI inconsistencies and a few hiccups, so user beware.

Every single time I read Titan The Navy Captain... I bust out laughing. Like, did he introduce himself that way? "Well, hello there. Titan The Navy Captain at your service."

I will definitely look into that. I don't mind being reimbursed since I do expense reports monthly as it is.

Good point. I would have to do some research on that since I wouldn't be working for a company based in Thailand. I also am a private person for the most part and not one to talk much about what I do. Also, I would be working strictly from home as not draw any unneeded attention. Fingers crossed on this one.

Thanks for this. I figured my insurance would be worthless outside the country and was going to pick up insurance through AXA or something along those lines. But it didn't dawn on me just pick up travel insurance since I would be going back and forth.

That part I was clear on. I assumed that clock would continue to run thought the reporting clock would stop when exiting.

That's awesome to hear! Looks like that will be the route I take. Thanks for responding.

Hey all! While my wife and I are looking to move to Thailand this year in November, my employer presented me with an interesting offer for me to consider. He would be willing agree to my living abroad 6 months out of the year and 6 months onsite in the States. Of course this all hinges on either a) is there a 6-month visa available, or b) is it possible to have a 1-year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national (but only staying 6 months in country each year). If possible, I would love to take advantage of the offer as my primary duties (maintaining org social media accounts, website, building small applications to use in-house, along with gathering data for our annual fiscal reports) allow me to work remotely. With Thailand's great internet and use of the company VPN, I don't see a problem with working from my home in Thailand for the 6 months I'm there. Any info would be helpful.
