It still is.

I remember but that's unrealisable to keep the same os because hardware is also evolving fast. All the features of Windows 11 could be implemented in Windows 10, but then Miscosoft won't sell any more licences ...

I'd be using W7 aswell if I could. I dont think you can install it with AM4 cpus (5800x). I already dont like W10 not to mention W11. Bunch of telemetry and always pushing to move away from having local accounts.

You can install it on modern hardware but it's a long process. -Integrate USB drivers into the ISO -Enable CSM in BIOS -Sacrifice a USB to be a dedicated Win7 installer and uses MBR (can't use things like Ventoy etc.) Drivers are a hassle but all of them work outside of Killer LAN. You have to get around the .exe file not allowing you but that's easy, you extract the file and install via device manager. Obviously some newer applications / games will not work so keep that in mind.

I’ve used 11 for 6 months and hate it. Going to have to reinstall and go back to 10

yep on 12900k, and i can tell you for gaming, i've yet to have issues about p/e core situation, and windows 11 just have issues.

Windows 11 looks awesome, but it’s just not functional. It takes me 3 extra clicks to get to the same menus I could on windows 10 in 1 or 2 clicks.

@@taipeitaiwan10 Weird way of thinking and doing thing. You hate W11, but you waited 6months to go back to W10... lmao

@@taipeitaiwan10 why would you use it for six months if you hate it? makes no sense

Yeah, same

It's stupid to go with Windows 11 when your only going to get 3 years support on updates. Windows 10 iot Enterprise LTSC 2019 gets 10 year support. The same applies for the LTSC 2021 version as well. I don't understand why people don't think before they do. My point is the version of Windows 10 version I'm using will outlast Windows 11 when it comes to security updates. So I'm sticking with Windows 10 all the way. It makes no sense to switch to Windows 11 ever.

Your fears are well-founded and understood. 👌

@@JustSayNoToCommieKamala So why does Windows 10 Enterprise get 10 year support? I am actually using Windows 10 Education because I had an old Student ID that worked for signing up for a free W10 key, it seems like it's the same as Windows 10 Pro but I have no idea how many years of updates I will get if I stuck with W10, so upgrading to W11 has been more enticing as of late, especially with the improved gaming performance and fps increases.

You can turn off windows 11 updates and turn them back on when needed

CPU support has now been expanded to anything powerful enough to meet minimum spec

So with my new mini pc coming with Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU and will crank the RAM to 64GB should i neglect/ignore Win 11?

@@talibong9518 no it hasn’t, you will still need to have a supported cpu

No, it will not 😁It would have features that you would eventually disable or simple do not use. In real life, XP was stable enough to run without reinstalls, even Win 98 SE was not bad in this regard.

I mean, I still use Windows 7. Yes DX12 games don't work (some do with DVRK) but all my games work anyway so why not. I might skip Windows 10 entirely!

File explorer (and the tracking garbage) are the only things worse in my experience. there are ways on a router end to stop the telemetry.

Windows 10 is not good at installing required drivers ? I never had isues.

@@greg8909 Win 10 is really good at this, probably too good because when you do not want the latest drivers, because they are buggy ,you have no say.

@@greg8909 He didn't say it wasn't on windows 10. Just pointing out what's good on windows 11. Wasn't a comparison regarding the drivers. Only comparison was on the File explorer.

for me file explorer was just as bad if not worse in windows 10

Is gone far same as windows ME my laptop constantly bsod even though I fresh reinstall windows 11 and still gave me dsod no matter you have the latest driver honesty if windows 12 comes around the corner and actually fix windows 11 old issues rather just skip it

That too? One more reason for me to stay on W10. As far as I know they also removed the option to have window labels on the taskbar, which is completely ridiculous for desktop users.

@Thomas B You mean You're sticking with Windows 10 until they stop giving you updates. Unless you can still game on Windows 10 IOT, apparently that's getting 10 years of security updates all the way to 2029.

oh ok

That's not true when installing W11 and you are at the account spot use "shift+F10" then in the cmd type "oobe\bypassnro" the pc will restart and then the option for a local account is there again.

There is definitely ways around it. Autounattend.xml file on the install usb is a good way. Which also gives you the option to answer all setup questions and not have to click anything at all during setup too.

You can use it just fine without a microsoft account. Just enter a made up email and password when it asks for one during installation, it will show an error then allow you to create a local account.

I am not logged in at all and haven't noticed being locked out of features

Maybe things have changed since, but when I did try it on a VM and installed it without a Microsoft account linked, most of features were not available, I will maybe try it again just to see with the methods shared by you guys but win 10 still going strong and since I'm still on Intel 10th gen, I have no real reasons to upgrade for the task scheduler for hybrid cpu either

you work in IT and yet you dont understand how windows OS licenses work? According to MS: "A software license gives a person (or an institution) the right to use a software product in a particular way. The terms of the license agreement describe the permitted uses of the software. Copyright law also limits how a person may use the software...." just because you paid for the OS, doesn't mean you can have direct control over everything.

Thanks for this information, I was planning on upgrading to 11. Will hold up until it matures properly.

You mean Microsucks! I worked for Microsoft and talk about an epic shit show!

I am still having this issue, the only fix I know is to disable e cores on your 12th and 13th gen CPU. Kinda dumb when the main thing about these CPUs is the e cores

@@sp-xx8ty I've ditched my Windows 11 install and i've done a fresh install of Windows 10 22H2. The problems are gone. I'll wait for Windows 11 23H2 before I try again. Hopefully they will have ironed out the bugs by then.

Copy pate comment of one i made earlier. Thats why you don't download windows 11. Give it another 3-4 years. It breaks everything. Old man worked in networking, big help as to not have a beautiful rig fucked all because of an update. Thats what i've learnt, you dont download shit when it's experimental or have fun having your hand forced in regards to fixing shit. And with limited knowledge even decent knowledge, good luck.

I think Google Chrome browser pop-up is faster on Win11 too.

I so can't identify with this video - _at all._ I've installed win11 on 2 of my 4 machines, and I REALLY regret it. * It's still far more buggy - just lots and lots of lack of polish bugs, but they really get on my nerves after a while. For example, last week's discovery was that search will find various settings buttons, but not check for updates when you search for "updates." It finds all kinds of stuff, but not that. Instead, it finds "Uninstall updates" - a feature I've literally never used. WTF. * It's not faster in my experience; if anything I think it's slower. * File Explorer sometimes suddenly freezes for seconds when opening it on one of the machines - the fastest one, of course, with only a PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive and 0 excuse for any hitches. * The TPM requirement is annoying, and I don't trust it won't be abused for user tracking. I hate being forced into a microsoft account like this. * Every few updates Microsoft tries to scam you into defaulting to the Edge browser and their own suite of apps. They call this finishing setting up my machine or something, which is naturally something that needs to happen every few months on a fully set-up machine. * They're even abusing the security notification area to upsell to OneDrive - argument being, "what about ransomware?" Doesn't matter that I both have backups and google drive, yet more spam it is. * It comes with all kinds of bloatware I don't want. No, I don't want Office. Nor onedrive. Nor billions of weird apps and whatnot you've preinstalled. * You cannot uninstall this bloatware via any normal route; the add/remove programs section merely removes the icon - but other user accounts still have all those apps. * It starts Edge behind the scenes on login to make sure you waste resources and made edge look faster. * Even if you disable widgets, it's still running the widgets, just hiding them, and this has a measurable impact on benchmarks at least on my machine. * They've enabled various security features - that are real, granted - that have perf overhead, even when those features are really, really marginal at best, to the point I'm skeptical this is very relevant for a home user. Maybe they don't do this if they detect the system is too slow; who knows. At the very least, I'd like an open and clear description of realistic attacks that end-users are likely to care about that these features supposedly prevent *with* diligent technical citations for everything (I'm a programmer and have worked both for and with pentest firms and wouldn't mind some technical jargon where necessary - I've looked and docs on these are pretty terrible, both for novice and expert readers. Perhaps if you're willing to spend days reading the implementation details and try to distill the essence yourself? No thanks.). * The notification area on the start bar can't be completely unfolded, even on a 4k screen. You need to drag each icon individually. If a program occasionally changes or auto-updates, it's back to being hidden by default. * I can't use a vertical taskbar, even on a wide screen, so totally pointless taskbar width it is. * They've basically abolished the start menu - I've seen dozens of people use what used to be called the start menu; but literally nobody bothers to actually use it as a menu any more. And that's almost impossible to do in win11, because all the useful features are hidden away, and it's essentially a big box for ad placement now, and a way to get you to accidentally search with bing using edge. Why even have a start menu like this? * Search uses bing and edge, even if you told windows not to. * The start menu has yet more bloatware, but these icons aren't all installed, they're merely product placement that installs if you're unwise enough to actually click on anything. * The start menu won't scale to content, it's just ugly and huge all the time, even if it's empty. * The context menu looks sorta nice, but they've placed all kinds of actually useful commands behind a second click, so everything just takes longer to do now. * The context menu icons are less distinctive, so it takes more hunting for the right icon. This battle is lost; at some point we'll need to upgrade, because MS just doesn't care and you are the product, even if you paid for windows. But no need to accelerate the transition here. You can hack around some of the deficiencies, (which I'm doing because I doubt we'll get the option to stay on win10 for long), but why oh why is that even necessary.

probably not. you can't even use the taskbar on the side of a monitor. you know, the side with MORE free real estate. you HAVE to decrease your already relatively narrow vertical space. makes extra sense in ultrawide monitors, since there's so little horizontal space, right?

@@GraveUypo Yeah these are the 2 main reasons I won't be upgrading, I love having my task bar on the left with one column for open applications and another quick launch column to open my frequently used stuff.

Everyone loved XP, even the military. I think the military still mostly uses Windows XP to this day, unless Microsoft has finally screwed the pooch

The only nice thing I got from going from win 7 to win 10, was windows 10 remembering the file explorer windows I had open. Windows 11 is pretty much just worse on all fronts for day to day userbility.

It's useless but you can fix it with a registry tweak. I banished the new context menu so I just get the 'more options' menu as soon as I right click.

@@talibong9518 Do you know anything about Start menu apps recent files with right click? In Windows 11, I can put apps on taskbar and see recent opened files or pinned by me, but not in start menu, what's up with that? It is very useful feature, Windows 10 has it, why they turned it off in W11?

Exactly, everyone who does anything productive on their PC is angry about this.

No taskbar labels as well, what were they thinking

Same here, I’ve got a 38” Alienware and the middle start menu I didn’t like, now I love it

as a windows 10 and 11 user, win 11 been on my personal rig and 10 on my work laptop in my opinion win 11 is the way to go, when going back to win 11 i notice how much nicer the UI and animations are, it feels smoother to use and more polished compared to 10, but 11 is always getting updates which can be annoying but if you just need an old version windows that does the job and your just a casual user 10 will be better for you as there is a learning curve with 11 that you might struggle with.

@@TC-tn9tb you didn't list a single reason to update. in fact you listed reasons not to, because i hate the windows 11 UI

@An Equal Better tone mapping, also auto HDR for apps and games that dont natively support it (this can be turned off if it doesnt look good for your specific use case though). Automatic Brightness Limiting isnt as severe as W10, but this is also very monitor dependent. Overall, I love the switch from 10 to 11, because Im using the Alienware QD OLED monitor. If you're only using a mid range to lower end monitor though (basically any monitor without full array backlights or OLED display) I dont think its worth it for the HDR experience. There are quite a few other reasons Im enjoying W11 after the switch, but that'll vary from person to person and your general workflow.

I bought my mini pc maybe last month, it came with Win11, since then i didn't touch my gaming laptop of Win10 much, and yesterday i decided to transfer that laptop to retirement because another second mini pc much powerful will come and will use Win11, the issues i saw in Win11 are like better than issues i saw in win 7 and 10, and by the time maybe until next year i swear that i will even forget that there was Win10 once before.

I used to just look on my second monitor's Taskbar for the time. Now with 11, I cannot. I had to get a clock to hang on the wall. Thanks Microsoft

Because, just like game companies, they figured out people would buy it anyway and so Microsoft would both get paid for the software while decreasing costs by basically making their customers unpaid beta testers.

Many will be "forced" to go win 11 in the coming years because new pc releases and laptops will only have win 11 for free/discount

I wont go into detail about any GUI changes etc. those are subjective. i am upset about core mechanics of fucking windows, for example one update messed up ability to create new folders, and none of the future updates ever fixed it for me, for past 6 months to create new folder i have to open cmd and make it trough it. this is how pathetic is windows 11. and no ITS NOT acceptable to demand you reinstall clean OS every update.
