I have had numerous reports (including from the local computer shop)
about problems with Win11. I would not advise anyone to go for Win11
unless they have absolutely no choice in the matter. Perhaps in a year
or so the bugs will be ironed out - Win10 was similar in its early
iterations.

Good. The more you put into Bible study the more you will get out.

I am sure you realise that the Hermeneutika Chain Reference Bible will
suffer from the same defect.
That is the main reason why the SDA Bible Commentary is the only one I
have. By and large it restricts itself to explaining the Greek or Hebrew
or providing historical and geographical background. Of course, even
there doctrinal bias creeps in, but it does attempt to provide tools
rather than telling you what to think or how the passage must be
interpreted.
Other commentaries I have seen are more along the lines of "This is what
the passage means", which is fine if you are busy and don't want to be
confused by a whole lot of "it could be this or it could be that".
