Davids Windows 11 review
Overall windows 11 is easy to use and one of the globes leading operating system and as so makes my workflow easy.
PROSWindows 11 is compatible with most if not all hardware on the market ranging from smart phones to printers, Keyboards, Mice and many more, and as a gamer no other operating system can be used as an alternative.
CONSWindows is ram intensive compared to mac and Linux, it also is a paid operating system whist the others are free.
Reasons for switching to Windows 11
Windows is compatible with almost all hardware and in an office environment it was the better option from Linux due to the need of using printers that were not supported on Linux.

Good, but not as expected
The experience has been good. But there are some shortcuts that take away some productivity when the user is trying to access to simple functions.
PROSThe new user interface is beautiful. The system runs fast, and it does keep an edge over Mac alternatives in managing apps, and most of the software existing out there.
CONSThere are several shortcuts working far from expected and represented a step backward in comparison with Windows 10. Things in the task bar need a right click instead of the traditional one. Looking for a network demands to open the network software instead of deploying the visible ones as it used to happen straightaway. It is not supported by many desktops, even more powerful than some newest alternatives. There is no Android apps support as suggested when first launched.
Reason for choosing Windows 11
It did represent a newer version of my favorite operating system. And it was suggested there will be Android Apps support.
Reasons for switching to Windows 11
I always found windows to be the best desktop alternative out there by many reasons. Even giving format to a flash drive is difficult to achieve by using a mac. In another hand, many required software programs are not available in Linux.

Poor support from Windows
My laptop and mobile phone both us the same modem - like many people. The phone is an Android, and my laptop uses Windows. Laptop Windows crashes from time to time, with a message that the wifi adapter is disabled. Android phone is unaffected. Yet Windows support refuses to accept that the problem is with their product. Support gave up replying to my emails. Disappointing if they want to be the standard.
PROSWindows has become a standard product, used by many organisations and individuals.
CONSIt is clunky, slow and frustrating. Support doesn't really help.

An overhaul from windows 10 that's worth a shot
Not the biggest update so far, but good start, the start menu and smart app control are the only thing notable in the upgrade, a few tweaks here and there, and the only thing that you do love is there isn't any constant updates or pop ups that force you to update the OS. 8/10 recommend if you want a change.
PROSI love the the start menu overhaul and the snap assist feature where you can have multiple windows where you can multitask at ease, i also like the updated security measures, especially smart app control.
CONSThere are a few bugs but one of them i noticed was that if you were using sticky notes or any other typing apps, or even what's app web, the text you're writing just disappears, you keep writing but you can't see it unless you hit send or restart your pc.
Reasons for switching to Windows 11
I wanted a change of pace, and a feeling of change, so i only installed it on my personal PC to try it out, and i might upgrade my work laptops to windows 11 soon.

It's a more secure OS with some nice productivity enhancements.
Overall, my experience with Windows 11 is a very positive one. I've been primarily a Windows user since the early or mid-1990s and have always looked forward to the added features of the latest Windows version - except Windows ME, which was a pointless disaster in my humble opinion.
PROSThe added security features and strong integration with the users' Microsoft account.
CONSThe lack of tabbed browsing in file Explorer.
Reason for choosing Windows 11
There's too little control over the macOS and the Apple ecosystem is far too expensive for what you actually get. Linux Mint is an attractive possibility, but Linux needs someone with experience to work with it effectively. There's too many rabbit holes to disappear into when trying to get things to work. I've been using Windows since the early 1990s so I'm used to the way it works.

Switched from Windows 10 and not returning
My overall experience is a surprisingly good one, being able to perform my day to day work tasks, and also use it for gaming in my free time.
PROSI was a bit reticent before I updated to Windows 11 from Windows 10, being unsure about its stability, but after around 4 months of daily usage (both personal and work computers) I can say that Windows 11 is pretty stable, without encountering any crashes, blue screens, or such things. I like it more because of the new UI, which is eye catchier than Windows 10.
CONSI have no cons for the moment, the operating system does the job.
Reasons for switching to Windows 11
I was curious what will be the new stuff added into the Windows 11 and wanted to enjoy the new UI.

The new UI is much better and easier to use than the last few versions of Windows has been. It is sleek and smooth. Everything is easy to find in the settings and very easily customized to suit the needs of the teams or individuals using the OS.
CONSAt this point the only con I can think of is that the updates are very large and for some of our machines that has been an issue but we have been able to mitigate this.

Of course our choice is Windows 11
All adaptation and transition processes were at a minimum level. We got a maximum conversion with minimum resources. You can understand a faster, more visual structure and performance difference. Simple but useful menus, easy filing and directory structure provided quick access and adaptation. Maybe it is the product that we provide the fastest adaptation among all MS Windows versions.
PROSMicrosoft did not break tradition. We were thinking what can be put on more technology, it offered us more. After all the updates we made on our system on the day Windows 11 was released, we started to use all values such as performance, image, quality, functionality, speed, resource at the maximum level. It offered an integrated structure thanks to increased speed, performance, minimum resource consumption, more functional menus and components, as well as increased security levels. All upgrade processes were completed simply and easily. It provided ease of use by getting full marks for all of our users. Streamlined interface structure, fixes in drag-and-drop technology, file explorers, more accessible management structure, and using its technology as a GPU in cases where performance is required are great benefits.
CONSActually this is not a problem. As MS users, we cannot abandon tradition. Problem with merging windows in taskbar requested by my users. It would be great to be able to show the windows as separate groups.
Reason for choosing Windows 11
Thanks to the secure and integrated core operating system provided by MS, a lot of resources are not needed. In this way, all MS Windows provide you with them in one place. Security, performance, speed, a strong structure, less resources, much more efficiency, a simple and easy interface, a more manageable and adaptable structure.

Update stole my files
So right now I can do email because I use a cloud based browser, Chrome, which i had to download. I am missing Filemaker, which means I cannot do any database business. I am missing Wordpefect, which means I cannot do any word processing. I am missing the Block tax program. None of there are free programs. Even if I were to buy and install them, I would sti be missing my fonts. So I w il be basically off today until after the Geek tech comes over and takes a look. for $125/hour. I hope he can restore the damage. Otherwise we will have to spend a bundle to buy the missing programs and then configure them.
PROSNothing, See below. Right at the moment there is nothing to like.
CONSHere is what has happened with my computer:Sometime Friday night or Saturday morning (January 27-28, 2023), my computer downloaded a Windows 11 update. When I started work Saturday morning it said I had to restart the computer, so I did. When it was finished updating I had Windows with an unfamiliar desktop wallpaper. My Chrome browser was missing, so I had to download it again, then I noticed other changes: All of my files were gone, all of my programs (like Filemaker, Wordperfect, H&R Block, Scribus) were gone. There was no memory before January 28, no restore dates. I troubleshot as best as I could. It took all morning. I had a conversation with a BestBuy tech who said he could not find my files and it looked like my hard drive was wiped and replaced.Later on Saturday I found some, maybe all, of my files in a directory that was created on January 27 on the E drive. My pictures were there and some of my documents. I found Wordperfect in the driver file, but it was a setup program. When I tried to install it, my license was rejected as already used. So I aborted the setup. I did download and setup Scribus (a free program). It could not find any 'recent' scribus files to open, but I did on the E drive directory and moved one to the C drive. Scribus did open it, but it was a mess: myfonts are all gone so Arial was substituted for all of them missing fonts. None of the graphics were there--probably because they were moved by the update.

Windows 11 is the next step for Microsoft to upgrade to a new modern responsive UI.
Easy to use nice modern UI although it didn't fully complete the transition to the modern UI, still stock between the old UI and new modern responsive UI. Alot of privacy concerns specially the requirement to use an online account to be able to login, which makes me consider switching to Linux.
PROSWindows 11 has made huge leaps in Microsoft path to build a modern Operating system with a responsive modern UI that supports all kinds of screens while still preserves the compatibility with the software and device drivers built for old versions of Windows. Windows 11 brings alot options to control privacy, although the app permissions i not yet fully integrated for old software, it only works for Windows Modern apps.
CONSUnlike Linux or Android which are open source Operating Systems built by the community for the community, Microsoft Windows 11 is an operating system built by a large corporation as a product with alot of limitation for software developers or users to access the source code to audit how it works or what it does in the background. Windows can be packed by any kind of backdoors which no one can know about but the Microsoft employees who have access to the source code. Also the greatest thing about Linux kernel is that it comes packed with all drivers for most of the devices so there isn't a need to install any drivers, unlike Windows which requires you to always get more propriety pieces of software from the devices makers to be able to use those devices, which also comes with big security risks since most of the devices in the market today are from certain countries which are not very trust worthy when it comes to privacy. Microsoft requires drivers to be signed but there are so many loop holes in the signing process which makes it not as transparent as the open source drivers included with the Linux kernel. Microsoft also requires using a Microsoft online account to be able to login to Windows, which is a big security risk and has alot potential for breaching the users privacy and tracking their activity.
Reason for choosing Windows 11
The only reason we are stock with Windows 11 is that many of the traditional software we use are built for Windows.
Reasons for switching to Windows 11
Windows 10 has alot of issues and it didn't fully integrate the modern windows responsive UI that much as Windows 11.

Windows 11 Review
Overall, my experience with Windows 11 was positive. I appreciated the new interface and features, which made using the operating system more enjoyable and efficient. While the initial setup process was a bit of a hassle, once I had the operating system up and running, I didn't encounter any significant issues or problems. Overall, I would recommend Windows 11 as a solid and modern operating system that offers many useful features and a great user experience.
PROSI really liked the new interface of Windows 11. The Start menu and taskbar were redesigned, and the overall look and feel of the operating system felt modern and polished. Additionally, the new features such as the snap layouts and snap groups made multitasking much easier and more efficient.
CONSOne thing that I didn't like about Windows 11 was the initial setup process. The process was quite lengthy and required a lot of manual configuration, which was time-consuming and frustrating. Additionally, some users reported compatibility issues with certain hardware and software.

Windows 11 is a worthwhile upgrade, highly recommended
Overall windows 11 is a very great system. A much needed upgrade/update to windows 10. Luckily they kept most of the details the same as windows 10 so its not too much of a learning curve to learn how to use/assist co-workers & staff. highly recommend upgrading from the dated windows 10 OS.
PROSWindows 11 has very minimal changes, but overall feels much faster. Most of the bugs have been fixed since launch with their monthly updates. As far as for commercial use/work use I would believe its ready to be deployed and start testing your software with it. For end-users there isnt much of a difference other than the start menu & the taskbar aswell as the context menu. Its very quick, looks modern & has plenty of new features for IT Admin security.
CONSThe least favorite thing about windows 11 is the context menu. I dont understand why they got rid of all of the options and now I have to click "show more options" every single time i need to do something. There should be an easy setting to revert back to the regular context menu. I've found some software like winaerotweaker that's able to change it back to the default aswell as some other fixes.
Reason for choosing Windows 11
Ease of use, company use, easy setup for connection to active directory.
Reasons for switching to Windows 11
Newer system, New features, New better security & overall performance upgrade. Stick with the new or be left with the old.

Operating Systems Can’t Get Better Than This - Windows 11 is a Champion
Over the past few years Microsoft has constantly worked on their operating systems and Windows 11 is their best one yet. The user interface is modern and stylish. You get mac inspired taskbar in the middle along with the latest news area on the bottom left. Most of the modern applications work flawlessly and there aren’t any issues in regular use! Overall it’s safe to say that Windows 11 is Microsoft’s best OS yet and it only keeps getting better.
CONSWhile there are no major cons Windows 11 can definitely get better with a few more theme customisation options and bringing back Windows Vista style widgets! Would love to see hit happen someday!

Nice Version of Windows
I always tend to upgrade the Windows software on my device to the latest release, even when the reviews are sometimes bad. I haven't faced too many major issues with Windows 11 and definitely recommend it.
PROSThe best advantage of Windows 11 over the previous releases is definitely the improved User-Interface. What is also nice, is that the software (at least the basic one) is free when upgrading from Windows 10. The continuous support and regular updates are also a great way to improve the product performance and remove the bugs.
CONSThere are couple of points I don't really like with this release. First, and the most annoying for me so far, is the need to click on show more option whenever I right click on an item. Also, the shutdown option doesn't really shut down the computer (at least with the default settings) like before. Instead a full restart is needed.
