    Alot of companies use teams now for work so I suspect this is really more for companies than for regular users. We use teams quite extensively for work( chat , file management etc) so I’m exited about that since it will be easier to use but could care less for my own personal computer

      A lot of schools (like mine) are also using Microsoft Teams.

    I feel like so many apps/games just wouldn’t be compatible with win11 yet so it’s probably best to wait but idk

      Backwards compatibility is part of Microsoft’s philosophy. Apps will work – just won’t be optimized.

    So you refer to apple to reference widgets and then you basically said teams is useless… android has had widgets since forever and they do it better than apple and alot of work places use teams

    Windows 8.1 was Windows 9. They won’t use 9 because they consider it a bad number, neither Apple or Samsung will use it.

      How do you explain the Samsung Galaxy S9 then

      @Dante Sami The S is like a 5, so it’s 59

    I have a question, after I downloaded the new Pc health check app and got all the green dots with the message saying that my pc meets the system requirements and that windows 11 is free my question is how it’s going to happen? Is it like the monthly cumulative update or is it through the Microsoft store?

    • Alex Oreeawon

      October 4, 2021 at 11:05 pm

      It will roll out gradually to everyone within the next few weeks, don’t worry

    Iโ€™ve been using windows 11 preview version with no issues whaat so ever.

    It definitely feels different and the wallpapers are really nice. Also the scaling is much better something windows always struggled with.

    You might as well just download it.

    After bypassing TPM requirement to get RTM Win11 to install over Win10 on Bootcamp then took a chance on a former Hackintosh with 2 core i7 and immediately impressed. So since needing to also run macOS did install Monterey under a VM. Sorta reverse from the Hackintosh but from a usability standpoint have to give this round to Microsoft.
    Thankfully I still had one license key from Windows 8 that let me activate Win10 before installing Win11. From formatting the flash drive to running Win11 desktop took 1 hour since needed a short Win10 layover.
    I think Iโ€™ll keep this machine (Dell Latitude E7440) running Win11 as main OS. All I can say is wow.

    On a Mac, you donโ€™t need an icon for the multiple desktop (aka Mission Control) in the dock (task bar) as you have a dedicated key on the keyboard to access it directly. Playing catch-up, as usualโ€ฆ

    Most OS improvements PC/Mac over the past 20 years have been superficial. Moving an icon on the side to the middle is a joke.
    OS updateโ€™s are hardly worth the hype given Thanks

    It is cool new OS but guys I think you should wait for sometime. It’s still not optimised well and you should wait really

    As an OS review this video sucks, but it gives great advice and historical context. Thanks!

    First 10 minutes gave me Vista in-place upgrade vibes … had to spend some time digging up new Intel integrated graphics drivers for UHD620 that support Windows 11 since Explorer was crashing when dragging windows between monitors, widgets would not open, and the new teams app would crash after login. The driver install failed using the install app so I had to do the manual “pick a driver from disk” method to get it to update, but it did fix the issues I was having.

    Docker desktop fails to start my local docker instance I use for development.
    Bitwarden Windows Hello integration is broken.

    Dear orthodox priest you’ll be shocked to know that Android has widgets too. And lots of them. Amen.

    I downloaded it. My 50 cents is that it feels a bit snappier (likely due to higher ram requirements), and it takes up a bit less storage. Aside from that, imo, itโ€™s all visual fluff. The real reason I downloaded it is for the eventual implementation of direct storage for video games. Direct storage is also coming to windows 10, but MS said itโ€™d be a bit faster on windows 11. That was the only real reason I upgraded.

    But you can’t ungroup icons, you can’t have icon labels, I’ve never used snap windows or multiple desktops. Yes I would consider myself a “power user”. My laptop get a 50-50 split of work and gaming. Only thing that’s stopping me now is Lightroom being very difficult to get working on Linux. The rest, Steam with Proton, Discord, Davinci Resolve, web browsers ect all have Linux versions.

    Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows.

    Until Windows 11.

    I just figured out why the tall prerequisite standards for installing win 11 … Microsoft wants to sell you a new PC … so naturally your old one just won’t do … must have a shinny new one …oh and check out these beauties in the Microsoft store …!

    I have a 6 core dell, cost $2000.00 it will nor run 11. That will make 6 perfectly fine computers that wonโ€™t work because Microsoft, turns off you software after they stop updating it. The last update, killed 5 computers and all their software. My next computer will be apple.
    Microsoft cost me, thousands with the last win version.
    Are they colluding with processors manufacturers to sell new machines.
    You will be forced to buy new computer and software oct. 2025. 4 years.

    QUESTION: Does downloading this new OS windows 11 make my computer slower or faster

  46. Jason Messinger

    Microsoft skipped Windows 9 because it conflicted with certain compatibility code that was looking for Windows 9[x] I.e. windows 95 and Windows 98

    Dont you dare comparing multiple desktops on windows and mac. Mac has proper flawless gestures to navigate between desktops, while here you have to rely on still, crappy feeling gestures on laptops or click on that icon. And dont start with the widgets, they’re terrible on windows 11, they’re terrible on android, always were. Funny enough, iOS widget styles and quality is far beyond anything other platforms has to offer. For now, windows 11 is rubbish. I think i will turn back to Windows 10.
