Windows 10 or 11?

Post by Dr.Sol »

Does anybody have any experience of the differences between Windows version 10 and 11?

I have a free upgrade if I want, but I really don't know if it is worth it, if v11 is slower, harder to use, collects more informations about me, and so on, I'm doubtful. Do you know?

I stuck with Windows 10, because well, it works. None of the changes appealed to me.

If your PC has less RAM and CPU power, then Windows 11 will definitely offer better performance as it focuses on the foreground apps and has fewer background ...

That really depends on Version you install, on my PC Win 11 was 5x times slower than Win 10, also GPU strain was ~45W higher than on Win 10 Desktop mode. You can see my setup in signature, only thing I changed from it is that now I have 128GB of RAM.

I cautiously stuck with 10 for quite a while, but have switched to Windows 11 and I have no regrets or negatives to report.
Can't afford a signature.

Hey,

I was in the same spot recently and decided to upgrade to Windows 11. It looks great, especially with the new taskbar and window management features, but I did notice it feels a bit slower at times compared to Windows 10.

As for privacy, Windows 11 does collect data like 10, but you can adjust the settings to limit it, though it’s not perfect. I didn't find it harder to use, but there are a few changes that take a bit of getting used to.

If your current setup is working well, there’s no rush to upgrade. But if you’re after a fresh look and don't mind tweaking some settings, it might be worth it.

Hope that helps!

Not a big fan of the Windows 11 GUI or how they changed the desktop context menu. Downloaded a registry hack to change it back.
