![]() ![]() It's like a crude amalgamate of Windows' CNS, Mac OS' torso, and the extremities of an obscure Linux distro, fused together into a revolting menace. They're dragging Windows into a direction it was never supposed to go. Their apparent goal of extreme UI simplification (corporatization) to make it appeal more to the sociopath corporate space destroyed the love I once had for Windows operating systems. Needless removal of features, needless introduction of even more in-OS advertising & telemetry (other than for MS to violate your privacy and the "mine-ness" of your experience even further), lacking even more transparency since 10, and more. Unless you can benefit from current-gen CPU tech, upgrading to 11 will only be at your expense. ![]() This is merely subjective experience and my opinion (albeit supported by many, as I've seen), so take this as you wish: Some people get very lost setting up secure boot, tpm & a gpt boot drive - mbr doesn't work with all hardware & secure boot standards. Windowsī) it may save you a free upgrade activation?Īlso, be certain your system is prepped for windows 11 if you jump in. So clean install time! Hey everything is working (even pre-release version at the time) until after a week or so came, "you need to buy an authentic windows license" (wth? I haven't pirated windows since that one time with Win98) called Microsoft again & was essentially told "you've already activated this license with windows 11 (buggy as hell "upgrade" from 10 & no hardware change) you must buy another license" I opened a handful of tickets pleading my case, however it seems MS changed some fine print and unless you buy full retail licenses from MS directly, you have a limited amount of "reactivations" or reinstalls, upgrades etc.Ī) an upgrade may not take properly because. Tickets with MS, dism, sfc all those usuals, nothing really helped. However once I upgraded to 11 I had some bugs that others didn't regarding menus & certain features that I thought just weren't available etc. Tl:dr No reason for W10 users, update please if you're on an earlier version of Windows, no reason to avoid W11 either.Ĭhiming in because I had some fun issues, my windows 10 install seemed to be running fine before the then "pre-release" version so, perhaps that's all it was. Still, once you fire up Chrome/Firefox/Office/Blender/any game/any program, you're probably gonna have the exact same experience whether on W10 or W11. Yes, it's definitely some once-off work if you like your right-click context menus back (and I do), and all the telemetry & hodge-podge menu design is still there. You definitely should get the latest version of OS for a new machine anyway, but most people thinking of upgrading probably aren't getting a new machine.Īnd if W10 works fine for you, there's honestly no real reason to update. If you're getting new hardware, there's some advantages to running W11 with certain current-gen Intel CPUs, but it's not on the level of say, upgrading from an HDD to SSD for example. Aesthetics are slightly refreshed, some minor under-the-hood tweaks etc. If you actually are on an earlier version of windows, unless there's some reason, like say, a grandmother who'll throw a positively ballistic fit if you take away her XP, then you should upgrade solely for the updates alone.įor the majority of people on W10, there's not really any major reason to update. I'm gonna assume you're on W10, and not something earlier like 7/Vista/XP/ME. That's.nice, but could be more constructive. The top comment is just saying how nice and bug-free W11 is for their past few days of usage.
