Why No One Wants Windows 11

Why is Windows 11 struggling to win users over? Despite being released in 2021, it has only managed about 30% market share. Compare this to Windows 10's rapid rise to popularity, and it’s clear there’s hesitation. The issue? Strict system requirements exclude many capable PCs, and new features aren’t enticing enough. Performance issues on some devices and a perception of being a minor update rather than a major leap forward also play a role. With Windows 10 support ending in 2025, a shift might be inevitable.

What would make you consider upgrading to Windows 11, if you haven’t already?🧐

[D.von.N]

My Win 10 stays Win10 until the end. After that Linux will take residence in that PC. And maybe even sooner, hearing news how MS failed to fix dangerous flaw in their updates for 6 months. My Win11 laptop is already Linux, having Win11 running only on a usb, for nothing significant. My ex-vista laptop is also Linux now. Microsoft acts like pigeons in my garden: tearing out leaves off the trees, hardly eating any, leaving carnage on the ground. Where Windows fails, Linux picks up the trophy. At least in my household.

Switching from Windows 11 to Windows 10 while watching this video

I'm holding onto windows 10 until it's so old that it gets the same reaction as a business running windows xp in 2024 does

Windows 10 rose faster because Windows 8 was garbage.

Switched all my family and friend's PCs to Mint Cinnamon. No problems here!

I would still be on 7 if I could. To me, every version since 7 has looked like they're trying to make your laptop look like a cellphone. I just read an article where they said that Microsoft is trying to make their system look more like Apple. If that's the case, then why buy Microsoft? If they are trying to copy Apple, they must think Apple is the better product.

I use windows 11 for years now.. loving it.

Instead of fixing Windows 11 system elements, introduces AI and shoves it down our throats, no one asked me to integrate it with the system. Unfortunately, history likes to repeat itself as it did with Windows 8/8.1, Vista, ME, that every second M$ system is "successful"

Why is Microwave stupid? Why upgrade to Window's 11, when this upgrade has had HORRIABLE review. I am going to try to avoid Window 11 as much as I can or at least wait for Microsoft on an update that does not make me a bullet to my head.

I've used Win11 ever since the prerelease insider builds that came after the initial leak. I've never had a problem with it, and I've always preferred it over Windows 10. Would I use previous versions of Windows 11? Hell no. But even so I still prefer it. I'm currently on the insider canary channel and everything is great. People seriously have got to stop procrastinating about it just because of some screw-ups at the start. They did listen and changed what wasn't liked, didn't they?

For those who don't know what TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) is:
A hardware-based security feature that provides cryptographic functions and secure storage for sensitive data, enhancing system integrity and protection against unauthorized access.

And on everyone's understanding:
Is like a super secure box inside your computer. It's there to keep important things safe, like passwords and keys. Windows 11 needs this box to make sure your computer is really secure. This helps protect your computer from hackers and makes sure only trusted software can run on it.

The main reason for centering of icons is for people who used large ultrawide monitors with 2-3 windows open at once, if you are working on a window in right corner of monitor and you want to click an icon on task bar, you will have to drag your mouse all the way to the bottom left corner which was a pain. By centering, you are closer to icons, no matter if you are working on left or right side of monitor. But its great they had given an option to move all the icons to left if you prefer traditional OS.

My office forcefully and automatically updated to Win 11. It is shit. I detest it everytime i have to use it

[TheLonelyMoon]

upgraded my windows 11 to arch linux (btw). been a windows user for near 20 years, ms recall gave me the final push

[rothn]

The only thing that would make me switch from Linux to Windows (perhaps just for nostalgia) would be if MS put back the old Aero theme-- it looked so nice!

This is admittedly terrible of me, but when I first glimpsed at the the thumbnail I mistakenly saw "9/11 Sucks" at first.

[muhammadhanzla]

lol it's not that ppl are migrating to windows 11 bcs windows 10 update support is ending.

Its bcs Microsoft is literally trying to shove it down the throat of windows 10 users.

2 of my pc gave a full screen page with a button telling me to upgrade to windows 11 at startup with no cancel button or anything, just a reschedule button which enables you to get into windows 10 but only to be bombarded by it at a later date. Bravooo Microsoft, Way to go !!!!

[johnpatrickadem]

i'm still rocking windows 8.1 even though i have windows 11 installed

don't care about windows 11 updates, some people even say that it "spies" on you _(i find that claim overexaggerated though)_
