There is a boost in performance with Windows 11, especially on computers with less CPU power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

I've been using Windows OS for my main work computers since the XP. The best iterations of windows for me over the years are XP, Win7 and Win10 -- having said that, I was delighted that I can get the Windows11 update free of charge, as an update to Windows 10, that I love!

Windows 11 feels and operates very similar the the previous version, allowing me to continue my everyday work routine flawlessy after I upgraded. I am in love with the better visuals and transitions that this OS offers. Microsoft did a good job in bringing us an OS that not only works reliably on traditional computers but also is suprisingly easy to use on tablet computers due to it's flexibility in UI and UX ! A very well thought out product to say the least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

Nothing really bad about Windows 11 as an OS, but I admit I am a bit disappointed that it no longer supports a lot of hardware that Im sure are still quite capable to run Windows 11, performance wise.. Windows 11 update doesn't roll out to computers that use processors that are lacking a security chip they require (TPM 2.0). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Windows 11 allows me to work, day in and day out! As with all my other windows computers before, windows 11 supports almost all computer apps out there! It doesnt feel limiting unlike the other popular OS used by Apple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

I enjoy how customizable Windows 11 is, and it has a lot more features than other operating systems, which has improved my productivity at work. All things considered, this operating system is the easiest to use and best on the market. My work with Active Directory users and computer duties that supported numerous capabilities in the most recent Win version were made easier by this operating system. I adore the updated themes and appearance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

Although there are a few issues, such the inability to change the default app and the fairly specific system requirements, this program is generally the best on the market. To the best of my knowledge, though, this OS is the finest in terms of general performance and updates. Even for small issues, customer assistance is becoming slower. Compared to Windows 10, Windows 11 has a negative in that I occasionally noticed slowdown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The updated design of Windows 11 is really helpful. I find Window 11 to be more comfortable with them than with other window systems. They gave me a straightforward method to use Snap Layouts to complete several things at once, which helped me organize my projects more efficiently. It's like having a tidy desk! Plus, it looks better, which adds to the pleasure of using my desktop computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

As a banker, my days are often a whirlwind of client calls, market analyses, and navigating the ever-changing financial landscape. Time is money, and efficiency is gold. I recently made the leap to Windows 11, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer.

Gone are the days of desktop chaos. Snap Layouts have become my digital savior, keeping client reports, presentations, and market data neatly organized in tiled windows. Switching between tasks is effortless, freeing me from the frantic alt-tabbing dance. My workflow feels like a well-oiled machine, ready to tackle any presentation or high-stakes meeting.

But Windows 11 isn't just about organization; it's about focus. Virtual desktops are my new secret weapon. These designated spaces let me compartmentalize my tasks, creating separate worlds for managing portfolios, crafting proposals, and tracking the market's heartbeat. It's like having multiple screens in one, boosting my focus and ensuring no task gets lost in the digital clutter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

the new Snap Layouts keep my reports and presentations waltzing in perfect harmony. But sometimes, the Start menu waltzes off with my focus, hiding the tools I need like a shy penguin at a banker's ball. And those fancy widgets? More like glitchy distractions, flashing like disco lights when I need market charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Gone are the days of juggling emails and phone calls for client updates. Teams integration is a game-changer. I brainstorm strategies with colleagues across India in real-time, share documents instantly, and hop on video calls without leaving my workflow. It's like having a virtual meeting room on my desktop, saving time and keeping everyone aligned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

I had two streams for Windows 11, One for

personal users and the second is Windows for enterprise (many PCs).

As an IT expert having 20 years of professional experience I have been using Windows since 1998...

in the past installation was painful for Windows 95, and 98 since then Microsoft has improved a lot.

User/Corporate experience is below:

a. Individual easy installation for non-IT personnel

b. Work well, no error during the installation and post installation

c. Support encryption for HDD > but slow down your PC

d. Support Un-attended installation / network support

e. No need for driver installation - many drivers are built in

f. Strong firewall

g. Full support to DC

h. No RAM hunger

l. Easy licensing for enterprise

k. Fully supportive for Microsoft SC, data governance and tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

1. Download from the internet or make a bootable USB for standalone installation

2. weaker antivirus protection - you may need to install 3rd party antivirus

3. Less recreational activity games

4. Microsoft Edge needs as optional - or upgrade it

5. DOlby sound not incorporated

6. No many updates give you a long list of installed updates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

I like how Windows 11 looks and feels. The Start Menu in the middle makes it easy to find things, and it's nice that you can do multiple things at once with the new Snap feature. The design is sleek, and everything just looks and works great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

What I'm too fond of in Windows 11 is that it runs smoother on newer computers. If your computer is a bit older, it might not work with Windows 11, and that could be a hassle if you don't want to get a new one. Another thing I'm not too fond of is the learning curve, The changes in design and layout might take some time to get used to, and it could be a bit challenging for those who prefer familiarity in their computing experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Windows 11 made my work much easier. The way you can organize windows with the Snap feature is a game-changer, helping me do many things at once without getting confused. The new design also makes using my computer more engaging Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

I'm utilizing Windows 11 the best thing is the generally UI configuration is worked on a great deal in the event that I contrast it and Windows 10. The gadgets and applications feel all the more genuine to life. And furthermore android application support is astonishing which the clients were feeling the loss of a ton. By and large it is smooth and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

Windows 11 doesn't uphold a few designs like old processors. TPM 2.0 should be upheld as well as different designs. Likewise, I felt that for gaming Windows 11 is somewhat delayed when contrasted with Windows 11. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My perspective is Windows 11 is giving more application support similitude like Android applications this will help clients an incredible arrangement. Since in the Microsoft store applications were limited. Similarly, Windows 11 managed livelinesss a ton way better than Windows 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
