Serious question: why is Windows 11 recommended?

[DmonHiro]

The game seems to work on both 10 and 11? So why is 11 recommended? What can 11 do better for this game that 10 cannot?

[Soulcrusher842]

Everyone should be on Windows 11 at this point. Windows 10 will eventually stop getting support,

So for developers every game should be recommending Windows 11 at this point to cover their part. Which means they won't have to support any Windows 10 issues

No reason to upgrade to Windows 11.

'Cause 11 runs stuff so much better than 10.

support ending this year is a pretty good reason

So... about all those articles and people complaining that 11 broke a multitude of games?

Nothing Windows 11 can do that Windows 10 can't except spy on you better.

Windows 11 also has slightly less gaming performance.

Do you not know how this works? Microsoft releases and then forces people to get their new operating systems so they can make more money. Duh.

[Elodain]

Because Micro$oft wants you to install Windows 11 so they can spy on you harder.

Because windows 10 is no longer getting support so as time goes on they will not update the game to fit perimeters of older versions of windows.

Same.

Windows 10 apparently also works, but it is not a good idea to use that OS anymore, because you will run into problems as a gamer. Gamers really need to update to Windows 11.

[tpowl1400]

Recommended lost its meaning because clearly Microsoft is stopping all of its services on Windows 10 come October. Personally I am going to stick with Windows 10 to the bitter end lol

Because of the following:

Features modern games are and will be using are supported by specific Windows 10 builds and Windows 11. That is why the recommendation, also Win11 has specific optimizations for DX12 games.

For Windows 10 Version 1909, the revision number should exceed or be equal to .1350
For Windows 10 Version 2004 and 20H2, the revision number should exceed or be equal to .789

You will need at the very minimum the above Windows 10 builds if you want to keep playing most of the modern and new games that come out / will come out.

Windows is like hardware, tech advances, they get features for gaming and improvements.
And also on a separate note, Win11 is actually much better than Win10 the only thing that deters users is the requirements and the default bloat it comes with (which can all be removed)
