What do you like best about Windows 11?

Out of the encryption tools I've tried, Microsoft BitLocker is my favorite. Its user-friendly interface is the first reason, and its distinctive method of securing data by encrypting the entire disk stands out as the primary advantage, ensuring heightened security. The excellent customer support, ease of implementation, frequent use, and seamless integration make it incredibly helpful for me, earning my preference and making it my top choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

The only downside I find with Microsoft BitLocker is its lack of compatibility with my older Windows 7 Professional version. However, I am content with its other features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In the past, I experimented with various encryption tools to secure my files. Unfortunately, a colleague easily decrypted my previous encryption, eroding my trust in such tools. It was then that my friend recommended Microsoft BitLocker as a reliable solution. Now, with BitLocker, I feel secure and content, knowing my files are well-protected from threats.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

Windows 11 is a complete package. It has the compatibility like we loved in windows 7 and the futuristic themes that we loved to have in windows Vista and other cutomizable theme packs. It is also having superb process optimization, even with lower virtual memory it works super smoothly. We can use any third party and open source softwares in Windows 11 and will never face any compatibility issues with it. One can have their ease for professional as well as personal tasks using this OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

I don't find any such disliked thing in Windows 11, but there is always a chance of improvement for bug fixes, malware protection and anything related to securities. Although the windows defender has already doing a very good job in terms of security and Microsoft is improving it day by day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Windows 11 is useful for our day to day work. I use it for my personal as well my professional works. It never disappoints whether its about performance or compatibility with third party softwares.

It is having a modern interface that youth loves to work on. We have multiple customization options as well in windows 11. Microsoft is throwing multiple updates regularly to make it even much better. It gives various daily use features that I personally use in my day to day tasks like scrfeen recording in one touch, screenshots, multi tasking windows side by side and many more. As I use android studio there is no requirement now to have a emulator, windows will do it for you. Its the best part to have features like these. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

I haven't used a Windows OS by choice in over a decade. The only good thing I can say about Windows 11 is that it's similar enough to Windows 10 to make the switch relatively easily if you have to, as I was forced to at work. But it's still an enormous, buggy, dud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

Windows 11 supposedly has security upgrades, but vs Windows 10, what this amounts to is using the same log in, password, and then text authorization 6 times to get started instead of 2. If someone has bothered to hack into the system, having to put the exact same login and password 4 more times isn't much of a deterrent.

Moving the main menu from the left to the middle seems innocuous enough, but putting the "news" on the left, where we're accustomed to going, is just a lousy ploy to harvest more data and steer us to ads.

The update was unnecessary, and only slightly more annoying than pointless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For me, as an employee, none. If it was my business, I would be using Linux or Chrome. I'm slightly less productive because of the repetitive security measures and more frequent time outs. From an employer's perspective, it might provide erroneous data regarding employee dilligence because I spend more time restarting and logging on than I used to and less time doing my job.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

Microsoft is matching their levels to Apple OS head to head. Now they have launched windows 11 to their users.

As an IT admin, we have found few bugs in Windows 11 Beta version and could not deploy the OS to the entire production.

It is still in transition to a stable OS, although it is very handy to use, for beginners as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

A lot of bugs and issues found in the OS settings/services as of now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is integrated with the latest security patches and provides superiority to Windows 10 Operating system.

Although, I would still pick windows 10 as my default production OS to deploy, atleast for sometime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
