12 Major Reasons to Upgrade to Window 11 Now!

[@BrettInTech]

Or you could just switch to Linux 😭. I would bet that most of the same people that hated Windows 11 when it was first released are the same ones who also hated Windows 10, 8, 7, XP, etc… And now refer to those older operating systems as the good old days. Thanks for watching!

[@florindo.]

Factos, one of them is me. But I can't upgrade to 11 cause can't run 32bits program legacy.

[@AndrewAHayes]

I dont like Windows full stop, I have used Unix, Amiga OS and Linux in my home computers that use an operating system, I was forced to use Microsft Network at work though. During my Amiga days 3.1 was known as Windoze as it was so so slow!

There is this one very simple feature which I know wasn't in Windows 10 and am really sure wasn't in early versions of Windows 11 which I find priceless. That feature is to reorder your pinned taskbar programs with the keyboard. I for many years have found it so annoying when I change one of my pinned programs and want to move it to a certain position. I have to remove the programs in front of that position and then add them later. So if I want my email client to be in position 2 then I have to get rid of the programs which were in position 3 and beyond. Then if I change my email client but have gotten into the habit of pressing Windows + 2 for my email client I have to go through the whole process again. I don't know when they changed this but using "Alt + Shift + Arrows" let's you move your pinned programs where you want. It's simple but such a relief of a change.

[@master_f]

Most of your "reasons to upgrade" are my reasons NOT to upgrade :) Like the forced AI integration, the need to install 3rd party apps to get the task menu back.. and a lot of options just gonne missing. Win11, in my opinion, is like having a Win10 pre-configured for stupid people, but you can't change it back - should be called "you can't do this anymore" windows xD

[@AndrewAHayes]

I only have Win10 on the laptop in my workshop, I use ArchLinux and Linux Mint on my laptop and desktop, I tried Win11 when it came out and hated it, I turned back to Win10 and will continue to use it until the updates run out, I will then install Linux Mint, this is very much like Win10 in its layout and is the best distro for people changing from Windows, best of all it doesn't spy on you or sell your data!

[@master_f]

@@AndrewAHayes Almost same, but I dual boot with Win10. I use manjaro for desktop and mint on my old laptop. Windows is basically a Steam box for me, but I still really need it

Wich animation? Everything is fluid and snappy in Windows 11.

[@TheFluffyArmadillo]

Strange, if Windows 11 is so good why has the uptake been roughly 35%, but 60% still hanging on Windows 10 and the 5% hanging on tooth and nail to Windows 7?

[@louf7178]

Beside the required hardware, just plain stubbornness.

[@Mario583a]

Market Share data of anything on any site will either be a fluctuating hit or miss. For instance: Steam hardware survey of November 2024 is that 48.80% of Windows 11; 47.46% of Windows 10; 0.28% of Windows 7 users agreed to the optional survey as there might be more Win11 users out there. Market Share, while nice to look at, only shows one piece of a larger puzzle.

[@thomziq]

I really like using Windows 11, but with recent infomation about mandatory Recall I'm thinking about moving to some Linux i do not know which yet. Maybe NixOS or newest Debian.....

[@florindo.]

U miss understand, u can't get rid of it, but can disable it via settings/cmd command/ group policy.

[@thomziq]

@@florindo. Yes I understand. Thanks... but the policy that it is 'opt out' not 'opt in' just rubs me the wrong way. "It will be stored locally...." yeah sure it will....

[@arghya_333]

Any Debian based distribution should be great. Avoid Arch till you are a bit more experienced. Fedora is also great but majority of linux guides keep Debain in mind. You can go for the staples Ubuntu or Mint or PopOS. Or you can directly do Debian which is what I would recommend. Just that you need to setup the non-free repositories which is a one time thing post installation.

[@thomziq]

@@arghya_333 Thank you:) that is the plan:) I'm also interested in NixOS - I know it is unusual but looks "fun" and has the biggest package repository :)

[@jean-francoisbouchard3382]

Don't believe in false information. Recall is not mandatory and cannot even run on non-copilot+ PCs.

[@Hellfire666]

There's really only one major reason to upgrade to Win11 and that will occur when they stop supporting Win10...

Direct storage, specifically in ratchet and clank (mainly because it’s one of the few) actually decreases fps

[@kencreten7308]

I don't bet that at all Brett. Microsoft has handled this release in a fundamentally different way than their old OSs. Windows 10 is a better operating system. It has more, and better features. It doesn't have "AI at every level of the OS," as stated as an MS goal. Too bad I guess. And in windows 10 you can chose your default apps - easily. You can also move the taskbar. And, it's still possible to avoid edge forced integration in Windows 10. I've been an avid windows user since Window 3.1. Windows 11 is fundamentally different from a different and worse kind of company.

[@michaelrussell220]

Upgrading to Windows 11 for me involves buying a new PC & buying Windows. That's too expensive. The apps are more important that the OS and that's the mistake MS make.

[@alphatonic1481]

Meh i wait until October next year to upgrade or switch to Linux. Let's wait and see what happens with Linux. I saw a bunch of cool distros that support all the software and games i like.

[@woodturner1954]

You can get used to anything, doesn't make it better. Tool bar left or centered doesn't matter. AI is going to ruin every app in the long run. People will no longer use their minds to create. They'll just be robots using Microsoft AI to do the creation. Kids should not be using AI because they don't have to think for themselves, we're going to lose potential genius's and artists to AI. I have 3 none compatible PC that run just fine with Windows 10. Bill Gates and pc manufacturers just found a way to force people to improve manufacturers profit margin. There no game changing improvement in W11.

Most likely your BIOS needs to be updated, make sure EUFI booting with Secure Boot capabilities is setup, the fTPM enabled, and the disk needs to be GPT partitioned for Windows 11.

None of the features you mentioned are of interest me. I had enough trouble learning Windows 10. Personally, I think that Windows XP was the best version that they created. Plus the search worked! EDIT: I started with Windows 3.1 I've been with Microsoft for a while. I might look into some of the operating systems that are mentioned in the comments.

[@bobjohnson5934]

I just gave Windows 11 another try last month, after 2 weeks, I reverted back to Windows 10. Windows 11 has gotten better since the last time I gave it a try, I was able to customize it to look like Windows 10 but in the end, I just got tired of all the extra steps required to get things done. In my opinion, Windows 11 is not a productive nor an efficient Operating System. Its Boring and Lifeless. I'm going to keep using Windows 10 till the day it laid to rest. Hope Microsoft has Windows 12 by then.

Ditto. For arbitrary and ridiculous reasons Windows 11 refuses to run on perfectly adequate hardware. I'm not going to reinvent the wheel just to run an arbitrary operating system.

[@Mario583a]

@@RockinRobbins13 It may have something to do with fact that hardware for that era cannot procure technologies that more modern hardware has and takes advantage of to its fullest extent as required by Windows 11. Microsoft wants the end-user to have an optimal experience, not a sub-optimal one.

[@RockinRobbins13]

@@Mario583a No, it's strictly an arbitrary decision on Microsoft's part to try to obsolete perfectly good machines, that can, with some hacks, run Windows 11 just fine. Keeping me from installing Linux isn't security. Blackmailing hardware manufacturers to include weird hardware only required by Windows and not the more secure operating system, Linux, is just thuggery. Windows 11 has been run on Pentium IIs! No, Windows 11 is no technological marvel.

[@supergoofy123]

For now, avoid 24H2. Maybe when it is more stable/bugfree in a few months, it would be safe to update. I would have bought a Win11 Enterprise LTSC license if it was available to normal customers and a good price. I want a solid rock system.
