Whats your opinion on Windows 10 vs. Windows 11?

[Dwolfin]

Support for Windows 10 will end October 14th, 2025. This has caused outrage and concerns. This action is Microsoft mass forcing users to move to Windows 11 by this date.

Many opinions of 11 is that its nearly worse in every imaginable way. Its much more simplistic, and has removed a lot of features. Privacy settings have been reduced further as well.

Hmmm... Been thinking about upgrading to 11 but I am not sure if free version is the way to go.
Linux could do it but then what about most of my library?

[Devsman]

I think what will happen in the future, say by 2040 or so, is the dominant architecture for desktop PCs will be ARM instead of x86, and Microsoft won't even bother porting Windows to it.

They showed their hand big time by making 7 to 10 a free upgrade. They're spending more money on legacy versions than they're making from upgrades. At a point they just won't even bother, since they have other cash cows these days.

Hmm... it's almost like you don't own your PC anymore.

Weird, huh?

Windows 11 is just Windows 10, hands down, but with a more pleasing UI.
And the task bar icons are centered, so of course it's better.
Everyone saying that having centered icons is worse is a liar.

Thanks ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but im sticking with my win7/win10 machines.

7 is unsafe to use anymore, and soon 10 will be too. I am seriously thinking about becoming a Linux user. Microsoft has fallen to the Apple level now.

Lol. You can still brute force windows 7 into receiving security updates. Windows defender is also mid, I'd suggest using Kaspersky.

As for linux? I've been a linux user for like 2 years and I don't think it'll win me over any time soon, not until I see better parity with some of the software I use currently.

windows 10 might become another windows XP where a lot's of peoples will refuse to upgrade from it since 11 officially require a tpm and a relatively modern cpu to be installed without the use of workaround.

Does it have to be on DVD/Blu-ray or is it ok if I can stream it?

Actually, there might have been a VHS release too.

I'm running Win 10. No need for more.

my computer was recent enough to come with windows 8.1 , it din't have a TPM and doesn't have a socket to install one.

Even a 10 years old pc it can do everything a modern PC does.

why the ♥♥♥♥ should everyone buy a new PC every 3 or 4 years to just do the same exact thing then before ? for me it's insanely ridiculous.

and you know , VHS been on the market for about 20 years ... you could have brought a vhs player in the 80's and still be using it to watch movies in the early 2000's.

I've had the same tpm since like 2004.

You don't need a Microsoft account for Windows 11 with a Pro version which has always been the one you should use anyway...

How deep of a whole will it leave in one's bank account? Deep or deep?

Who told you this? Because they're wrong.

Windows 11 was suppose to be a Windows 10 update, but they added all the Secure Boot features that limited the number of machines it can actually run on (without working around the SB) so they made it a point release.

But it's Windows 10. Plus.
