Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Windows 11 garners mixed reviews. Some users appreciate its faster performance and improved aesthetics compared to Windows 10. However, many express frustration about hardware requirements like TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, incompatibility issues, and forced changes, such as the Microsoft account requirement and interface redesign. Criticisms include removal of features, a sense of rushed development, and lack of viable alternative options for gaming or specific applications. Concerns about privacy and bloatware are also prevalent.

Requires TPM 2.0. A lot of older machines won't be supported.

That can be circumnavigated. But honestly with the bloating on Win11 any older machine will just die simply by running out of RAM.

What is Windows 11?

Windows 11 is the latest major release of Microsoft's Windows operating system. It succeeded Windows 10, and is available for free for any Windows 10 devices that meet the new Windows 11 system requirements.

Windows 11 features major changes to the Windows shell influenced by the canceled Windows 10X, including a redesigned Start menu, the replacement of its "live tiles" with a separate "Widgets" panel on the taskbar, the ability to create tiled sets of windows that can be minimized and restored from the taskbar as a group, and new gaming technologies inherited from Xbox Series X and Series S such as Auto HDR and DirectStorage on compatible hardware.

Internet Explorer has been replaced by the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge as the default web browser, like its predecessor, Windows 10, and Microsoft Teams is integrated into the Windows shell.

Citing security considerations, the system requirements for Windows 11 were increased over Windows 10; Microsoft only officially supports the operating system on devices using an eighth-generation Intel Core CPU or newer (with some minor exceptions), a second-generation AMD Ryzen CPU or newer, or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 ARM system-on-chip or newer, with UEFI and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 supported and enabled.
