What do you like best about Windows 11?

I love that it works better compared to Windows 10 on computers that are not that powerful, and I love the way that this version of Windows looks, it has a much more modern look to it than any other version.

I also love the way you can change the settings for the taskbar and make it disappear or pop up whenever you hover above it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

2: One more thing is the better and good utilization of the settings menu and I can find things better in the settings.

3: After the update, Copilot came and things got better and easy to use.

4: Windows 11 is very easy to use and is more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

If you're looking for an operating system that is both aesthetically pleasing and efficient, then look no further than Windows 11. With a modern and sleek interface, Windows 11 is designed to provide you with a positive user experience. Moreover, the file system has been improved, making it faster and more efficient than ever before. Overall, Windows 11 is a solid choice for those who want a reliable and modern operating system that will enhance productivity and enjoyment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

Windows 11 has a higher system requirement compared to its predecessor, Windows 10, which means that some older computers may not be able to run it efficiently. Additionally, some older software may also not be compatible with Windows 11, which could be a problem for those who rely on such software.

Another reason could be the potential for bugs and glitches. As with any new operating system, there could be some issues that need to be ironed out over time. Windows 11 is still relatively new, so there could be some bugs that need to be fixed before it becomes widely recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Windows 11 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Windows 11 is solving several problems that users experienced with the previous versions of Windows. One of the main issues that it addresses is the lack of consistency in the user interface across different devices. With Windows 11, Microsoft has introduced a new design language called "Fluent Design," which provides a consistent and modern look and feel across all devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and even phones.

Another problem that Windows 11 is solving is the need for better security features. The new operating system comes with built-in security measures such as Windows Hello, which enables users to log in using facial recognition or fingerprint recognition, and Microsoft Defender, which provides real-time protection against viruses and malware.

Windows 11 also aims to improve productivity by introducing new features such as Snap Layouts, Snap Groups, and Virtual Desktops. These features allow users to organize their workspaces more efficiently, switch between tasks quickly, and customize their desktops to suit their needs.

Overall, Windows 11 is expected to benefit users by providing a more consistent, secure, and productive computing experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

Windows 11 brings a fresh new look and some nifty upgrades to the Windows experience. The clean, modern aesthetic with rounded corners and centered taskbar is easy on the eyes. But it's more than just a visual overhaul.

Multitasking gets a bump with the new Snap Layouts for organizing windows and Snap Groups for restoring your precise window layouts from last time. Little things like the revamped right-click menus just feel more intuitive too.

The redesigned Microsoft Store is a huge improvement - way cleaner and loaded with way more apps, games, movies and other content. PC gamers can look forward to features like Auto HDR for better visuals and DirectStorage for faster load times on higher-end rigs.

There's tighter Xbox integration baked in as well for cloud gaming and playing your Game Pass library. Speaking of gaming, the Xbox app experience is pretty seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

For an OS that's supposed to be the hot new thing, parts of it feel oddly outdated and stuck in the past.

Take the context menus for example. Sure, some got redesigned to look cleaner, but it's this bizarre mix of old and new menu styles across the system. It's like the left hand didn't talk to the right hand during development. Totally inconsistent and jarring at times.

Speaking of old, why are there still remnants of antiquated stuff like Windows 8-era apps and legacy desktop holdovers? This was supposed to be the big fresh start for Windows, but it feels like they kept way too much bloat around.

And don't get me started on how unfinished and barebones some of the new features feel. The updated Widgets panel? Basically useless right now. Teams integration? More hassle than it's worth for me personally.

Then there are head-scratchers like can't moving the taskbar to different locations, limited customization options for the start menu, and strange chipset requirements that limit performance on older hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Windows 11 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solid system that is dependable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
