@@dreaper2087 My dude, are you aware of how many people don't care about our issues with windows? It's evident by the sheer amount of pc users that run 10 and 11. No amount of proof will ever convince people to switch. And yes, it does work out of the box for casual users, you can't deny that. Your problem is that you assume people care. They don't, that's why always online requirments, excessive drms, whatever crap nvidia is pulling, steam being just a drm store where you don't even own the things you pay for, and many, many things are still happening. Most people don't care, that's a fact. Also, did you read what i wrote? I didn't say old systems were horrible, i just said that people have been saying "windows is dying" for 2 decades now.

[@Zyxlian]

The KZbin channel AdamantIT recently did a fresh install of Ghost Spectre and a fresh default Windows 10 install (in their weekly podcast), and there was no performance difference between them. The only real benefit from these alternate installs of Windows is less storage usage. Windows does a pretty good job with managing background processes by default. If you are below the minimum specs for Windows 10, the OS will run badly on any of these alternate versions - same as a default install would.

[@Ro7ard]

Everyone hating on 11 has kind of surprised me. I have used 97/98, XP, 7, Vista, 8 and 10 in my life time and would say that 11 has been the best since the good old days of 7. 10 had way too much bloat and buried/removed features that had been present for years.

[@TheSpotify95]

Yeah. just like RGinHD's system which is a 12th gen i5 and 3060, there won't be a whole lot of difference because the load at idle will be negligible. And I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you want to play CS at 1080p lowest then you absolutely don't need this hardware, just get a Dell or HP junkbox with a Core 2 Quad in it and throw in a low profile 710 or 1030. Problem solved, and it frees up good hardware for those that actually want to make their games look better than a PS2 title.

Thats usually the case anyway. A fresh install of any software is generally better than upgrading over top an existing version where some older files that are not overwritten can get let behind and can sometimes cause issues ranging from incompatibility issues to performance issues. Thankfully MS provides Win 10 and Win 11 for free via Media installation tools that you put onto a bootable USB etc and then install from there.

Windows 11 feels to me like ME/Vista and 8.1. It's most likely another stop gap OS until 12 releases, which I'm also not looking forward too. Even 10 gets more annoying to configure with each bigger patch, some configurations I can find online that you can do pretty quick and easy with group policies no longer work, the options are just gone. I'ts not only the amount of data that gets sold to advertisers, for me it's mostly the bad usability that annoys me more and more about Windows. I don't use the MS "app store", Edge, Cortana or all that other garbage but disabling them is unnecessarily complicated.

[@jorgealain5126]

I thought it was age getting on my person and that I was getting rispy, but now I know why I was having difficulty changing many Windows 10 settings. It wasn't just on me I am sad on the one hand, but happy to know that it was not something invented by my mind. Windows 10 has really gotten worse over the past 3 years. everything is hard to find and modify. all absurdly complicated and hidden. The old tutorials just don't work anymore and some configuration options were bombed forever from the map

[@jjnet123]

Windows 11 is far more stable than either of those.

I experienced the same results of yours, having built a new system, i ran a few bench marks and while the difference at times was small, Windows 10 continually beat Windows 11, so Windows 10 was my choice to install, as Window 12 looms in the future, when the time comes for Windows 10 to expire it's OS life, Windows 12 might be ready, to give it a try.

Don't get your hopes up, Windows 12 might even be way more cpu demanding unless Microsoft miraculously realizes that lower latency is the way to go for gaming and releases a specific version for gaming without useless services. They will probably never do it sadly

ive done clean and upgrade method for windows 11 and my benchmark scores were lower than 10 with the same hardware. Windows 11 really serves no purpose other than letting you search processes in the task manager, dark mode skin for task manager and File explorer has tabs. Great features but i find the new w11 quick menu inferior to the action center in 10. I find the performance and stability inferior and at the time of me using 11 the basic feature of having uncombined taskbar labels wasnt even available.

[@wakingfromslumber9555]

I think the most concerning point is that more system resources are being used in Windows 11 to get the same job done.

@@SweatyFeetGirl It was initially very buggy, and it’s not customizable. “Streamlining” Windows made it look like it’s an ugly knock off of what macOS tries to do. Also people want a modern XP like 7 and what 10 became. 11 almost feels more akin to 8.1.

It is worth remembering 12400f doesn't have efficiency cores, so this might not translate 1:1 to higher end configurations or even just newer ones as 13400f has them. Anyway I have actually switched from 7 to 11, wanted to poke at people who annoyed me for years whenever I mentioned 7 and game support. Well, to be honest I never really liked 10, and would probably use 98SE if I could :P so I thought I can just jump to 11. The major issue is inability to turn off icon grouping in taskbar, this kills workflow and makes 11 impossible for professional use for me (I used to work with text, often switching opened windows between document types and pictures, and I need every single file on a one click). Other than that the Windows Update is just as scary as in 10, the same default view in Control Panel, maybe its a bit trickier to quickly find controller proprietaries and... well I want the clock face back when I click on calendar :P I'm a retro gamer, but so far things like UT still run on 11 out of the box (or out of the iso :P), so does Winamp 2.92 from an installation folder I kept from either 98SE or XP :P, and I still have my old PC with 7 around.

I've heard that Windows 11 is able to make better use of stuff like DirectStorage compared to Windows 10. Something that Xbox has had for awhile now and it might start making its way into PC gaming. This is the main motivating factor for me. It wouldn't surprise me if games that are starting to require an SSD (such as Starfield) will be able to make sure of DirectStorage for smoother FPS and faster loading times.

I switched to W11 last week. Debloated it as well, and got rid of any services I don't need, all via my own script.

Older games suffered slightly, with Doom Eternal losing about 10fps. 1440p, Ryzen 5800x, 32GB 3000MHz, 2070S +500/+800 over stock

why? You think you'll be more secure on Windows 11? This isn't a sarcastic question, I'm actually asking because I know nothing about what OS security even is. I personally think (from the non knowledge I have) that upgrading to Windows 11 for security would actually be a downgrade because of the forced amounts of data collected and shared. I personally use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC that lets me disable any slight telemetry, I have checked that there is nothing sent to microsoft. I don't know about Windows 10 Home and Pro, but I know about Windows 11 and it is horrible in telemetry. I also personally wouldn't upgrade to 11 because it's heavier and a lot more bloated, thought it's a personal need because my hardware isn't the best and I need maximum usage of it.

​@@leothehuman_9476it's because when exploits are released for windows 10 by hackers it will no longer be patched.

performance is crippled in w10 above 20h2. They did it probably so w11 doesn't look that bad. It is just an assumption tho. Lemme just point out that there is occuring scheme, whenever microsoft brings update that makes performance worse, they talk about meltdown, or spectre. sometimes it brings different names, but it's always these two where windows "reacts quickly", depraving you from your fps in the name of "safety".
