Should you switch from Windows 10 to Windows 11

The questions everyone is asking... Now that Windows 11 has been out for a year, should you switch?

The right click is what kills win11 for me the most. I use the extra menu options more than i do most of the standard ones, so it's basically an extra click everytime. Also miss the right-click on the taskbar to bring up taskmanager as well.

If past experience has taught me anything, it’s that I shouldn’t be in a hurry to upgrade my Windows operating system. Windows 10 has been smooth ever since I switched to an SSD drive. And while I think Windows 11 looks great, it also feels like they took some design inspiration from Apple at the cost of user functionality. I think I’ll stick with Windows 10 for now.

The interface is inefficient in 11-Very clunky, more clicks needed, plus drag and drop of shortcuts is not there, bring back the W95-W7 GUI.

Awesome video. At Microsoft's recent prompt, I've test driven Windows 11 the past couple of days. I'm going back to Windows 10. The Windows File Explorer has been totally redesigned, making navigation of local (eg., C: drive) storage MUCH more difficult and frustrating. You almost have to convert to using the cloud most of the time.

I think the good thing about the windows snapping feature is when you have multiple monitors connected. The windows can be oriented anyway you want, even if the monitor is disconnected and reconnected, those windows should go back to how they were

Thanks for mentioning about that widgets sidebar thing that appears at the left sometimes. I saw that a few times and was a bit worried that I might have accidentally downloaded some Hijacking Add-In virus thing, lol!

Very informative and I appreciate your evaluation. I am very happy with win10 and win11 looks like a nightmare to me. I must admit, I get very upset when I am forced to "upgrade" my software. I do not like having to get accustomed to a whole new user experience. What I would appreciate the most from Microsoft is for them to leave my darn computer alone and let me get my work done without their (what feels like) constant harassments.

StartAllBack is a great tool to bring back some of the features and looks that were in Win10 and further back. Including moving the taskbar, which I was annoyed that I couldn't do when I moved to 11.

[ELREASON]

Yes, your toolbox is useful especially when creating a new install or quick housekeeping. When dealing with older machines, having a button to turn off the windows 11 security checks would be nice. Thanks CT!

Hopefully 11 will get enough updates to be worth switching over. The new buttons for copy/paste/delete on the context menu is nice but overall pretty lacking in actual options. Always prefer sys32 over UWP but hopefully they can pull more things together in the future to get back to what used to work so well.

Glad to hear they relaxed the TPM requirement. Though considering they targeting a 2024 launch of Windows12 I don't think it is worth to upgrade from W10 to W11, unless you're unhappy with how Windows10 works for you and like you said looks.

[VioletGiraffe]

Thank for this overview. Based on what I've seen, I won't upgrade to 11 until there's a way to make the complete context menu the default right-click menu. I also don't understand why they couldn't just render all the proper context actions in the new style UI, why it has to be either pretty and disfunctional, or functional but ugly.

I switched to W11 cause I bought an Intel 12th CPU and honestly it hasn't really changed my experience much. I'm not some power user or someone that required some specific features for work or a project so I just switched and I just use the PC normally with no problems. There's a "wait, that's kinda dumb" every once in a while but nothing horrible

[iknowyounot]

Good timing, I've rolled back earlier in the year and I've been looking into 11 recently to see how it's going.

[JanVaskoSG]

Man, you're rocks! Thank You for your course !!! I've learned so much!!!

[threeballedtomcat]

I was using Win 7 SP1 until last October. I saw NO reason to change to Win 8, or Win 8.1, and when 10 was announced the only thing that got my attention at all was DX 12 for gaming.
The PC I have now is the latest version of Win 10 and as near as I can tell there is no real catalyst to change to Win 11.
That's my take on it based on various sources, like you.
Thanks for the upload !

Thanks for the info, I found it most useful for my decision to stay with windows 10. I have no need to jump through new hoops and relearn how to navagate as my needs for computers has become just basic. i'll be watching for more of your videos. Well done.

[rjjeffreys]

Always exceptionally helpful and useful content here on your channel, Chris. Thank you!

[alanelston]

I only have the one win 11 machine, and I too found the look of the thing very nice. I like it.
Never the less, taking a lot of other things in account my general feeling and opinion was to stay for a few years with windows 10 for most of my machines, along with a good “Debloat optimise utility tool kit thing”. This video and some of the comments has reinforced that opinion of mine.
