### Most mentioned pros

- It eliminates that annoying manual "window shuffling" I used to do. Plus, since the system remembers those groups, I can dock or undock my laptop without my entire layout exploding—it just snaps right back to how I had it.
- However, as the OS has matured—especially with the recent 2026 updates—it has transformed into a remarkably stable and intelligent workspace.
- It feels like a mature, polished platform that focuses on keeping you in your flow rather than getting in your way with constant interruptions.

### Most mentioned cons

- The least helpful part of the OS is the aggressive push for integrated services and "badges" that are essentially just ads. Whether it’s pop-ups suggesting I switch to Edge, or "reminders" to subscribe to Microsoft 365, it can feel like the operating system is constantly trying to sell me something rather than just letting me work.
- This "split personality" between the modern Settings app and the old Control Panel makes navigation feel disjointed. Plus, the recent trend of buggy updates in 2026—where some patches have caused issues with cloud storage or even app crashes—makes me more hesitant to hit the "Update" button than I used to be.
- For example, the taskbar is now locked to the bottom of the screen, which is a massive headache if you’ve spent years working with it on the side or top.

Now days, either off the shelf for home or co figured for business with on-prem server or Intune, Windows is still the easiest system to deploy, and for gaming it's still typically a must for the best compatibility with the most games.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Easy to deploy, up to touchless with new Intune configuration. It's still a big industry standard for work as well and with the latest versions of OneDrive, you can sync your employee's important work files so if they have to work at another station or their computer dies, their work isn't gone.

#### Cons

There's time when you really need a Mac or if you don't want to pay for a license you could also go with a flavor of Linux. I haven't experienced something like a bad patch in so long though I can't speak poorly of that.

Quite possibly the worst version of Windows I ever used, and I've used Windows 8 before.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5

#### Pros

Continued security updates for supported hardware Folders can have icons on them now

#### Cons

- TPM Requirements: this means that unless I wish to employ unofficial workarounds, I have to replace all of my hardware to use this - adware bloat: over time I'm seeing more ads being integrated into the os - worst start menu: so much of the customizability is torn away and quickly finding software via this menu is less intuitive

#### Reasons for choosing Windows 11

Because I wanted to have support for some of my required software for work.

the jump from windows 10 to 11 was a real upgrade in ways that it surely was done to make it better, the simplified steps that makes it a great OS are mostly here

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

The polished way it looks and works, to my opinion, it's still the operating system to go, others are great too, not to talk smack about them, and I would say that in sometimes in a very specific way better, but Windows is to me the best and widely accepted.

#### Cons

The native support for Android apps that was promised at first, yes, there are ways to make it possible, but not quite, in some cases and it's understandable that needs to be done on a somewhat decent computer (good ram, cpu, gpu etc)

Overall Windows 11 is great operating system, hard to go wrong with it and if you require to use for some compatibility, it is not a pain to use like previous Windows versions, but there are many areas which can be improved substantially. The ARM version is also a great addition.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Windows 11 is good product and a definite upgrade from Windows 10, it was buggy when released but in 2025 it definitely seems like a polished modern operating system. Compared to the competition, mainly macOs and popular Linux distros, I like the look and feel of windows 11 better. The settings app rework from windows 10 was much needed, the rework of the look and feel as well as the animations was also much needed which got it on par with phones Os's as well as on par with macOs. Compatibility with applications is great and unmatched, as well as unparalleled support for games.

#### Cons

The overhead of windows 11 is huge, which eats into the performance of application or games. In terms with compatibility for hardware windows 11 is not bad, not as bad as MacOs of course, but not as good as windows 10 or Linux. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 which renders older PC's unable to upgrade, and since Microsoft is pulling support for Windows 10, it will turn these machines into e-waste. In 2025, there still exists legacy menus in the interface, which are unnecessary and a hassle to use. Sleep wake and power settings are still a collosal mess, sometimes you put a laptop to sleep and after a while find the battery drained, which can be frustrating if you're expecting the opposite. Sleep and wake has been figured out by all other portable devices operating systems in 2025 except Microsoft.

Since I started using Windows 11, I haven't had any major issues adapting to it, apart from the time it took to get used to the icons. Other than that, I find this version more intuitive and user-friendly.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The interface feels significantly more intuitive compared to previous versions; its design closely resembles that of a modern tablet, which greatly enhances the overall user experience by making navigation smoother, faster, and more visually accessible, even for those who are not particularly tech-savvy.

#### Cons

It differs from the classic Windows layout in terms of icon arrangement; it takes a bit of time to get used to it.

The interface could have been updated a little more to feel more modern. It is still classic Windows. Personally, I think a slightly different look would be refreshing.

While not as good as Windows 10, Windows 11 is perfectly fine, despite it's lack of compatibility with older machines.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Windows has the most compatibility and is the most widely used. While there are still many on Windows 10, Windows 11 is very similar and all of our programs still work.

#### Cons

I wish that computers that were a little bit older were eligible for the upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. We have a few computers that are 7th generation Intel Core, but the oldest generation for Intel core processors are 8th generation. 7th generation is still perfectly capable in my opinion and many of those machines are still in use for us.

#### Reasons for switching to Windows 11

Windows 10 is going out of support soon so it was best to upgrade before there were compatibility and security issues.

#### Reasons for switching to Windows 11

To continue to get security and software updates for the future; better design and easier to navigate.

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Microsoft 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.

#### Cons

Actually 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.

#### Reasons 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.

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The 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.

#### Cons

There 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.
