All Windows 10 users with a compatible device will receive an option to upgrade to Windows 11 for free. In October of last year, Windows 11 was made available. The new Windows includes several upgrades, but some of its features are lower than those of its predecessor. Windows 11 features a straightforward, simple design and great quality-of-life features. It also has demanding system requirements and a difficult-to-adapt design, though. The fact that it required a modern CPU to work and even the most potent CPUs before 8th gen Intel were incompatible with the operating system was a significant problem for those wishing to upgrade. Although it is an excellent technique to make people upgrade their computers, it is unjust to those who do not because of a specific piece of hardware. Fortunately, the updated operating system is not seen as an important upgrade for gaming.
1. Windows 11 Currently Has Bugs
For five years; Windows 10 has been available. It has nearly no bugs and is a polished, highly functional OS. Windows 11 is a new operating system, so it still has bugs. Even after almost a year since its release, it still has many issues. Although these bugs will be resolved, they make working with the system complex. The best course of action is to hold off until Windows 11 becomes a better streamlined operating system and these bugs are fixed.
2. Windows 11 No Longer Has The Action Center
Windows 11 splits its functions into a fragmented, somewhat illogical structure in place of the organized all-in-one Action Center for alerts and quick settings, somewhat matching the disorganized scatter of notice boxes you find in macOS (though not quite that bad). In Windows 10, you may change the Wi-Fi network by pressing the Wi-Fi button, and you can check your battery life by tapping the battery symbol. These features are assembled with Windows 11, so tapping the sound icon displays the battery and Wi-Fi options, which you do not need to worry about. Here, Windows 11 is less efficient.
3. It Is Not A Significant Upgrade To Windows 10
Do not rush to, upgrade to Windows 10 if you use your PC mainly for gaming and already have the operating system installed; it does not perform better than your current Windows version. It might be not easy to upgrade the operating system, and installation is not always straightforward. Directly upgrading from the Windows installer can lead to several issues, most of which can be avoided by doing a factory reset while installing Windows 11. A factory reset makes the update process more accessible and helps the system avoid driver issues, but the new operating system is not worth having to reinstall all your games and programs.
4. You Would Miss The Timeline And Other Windows 11 Deprecated Features
Like other significant OS updates, some features are added, and some are removed. The Timeline, Live Tiles, and Internet Explorer are the three more significant features to disappear from Windows in version 11. You can still use Internet Explorer in the Microsoft Edge browser if you use an outdated business program that needs IE. But the Timeline is now lost in the mists of the past.
5. Windows 10 Has Better Gaming Performance
Most of the time, Windows 10’s FPS games perform better than Windows 11’s (with both installed on computers with the exact specifications). Virtualization-Based Security (VBS), a feature added to Windows 10 that is automatically enabled in new PCs running Windows 11, is mostly to blame for this. The computer’s security is improved using hardware and software virtualization, which consumes resources in the background and lowers frame rates while gaming.
6. You Want Every Option In File Explorer Context Menus On Windows 10
Context menu in File Explorer Between Windows 10 and Windows 11 Since I disliked the endlessly deep right-click context menus any app in earlier Windows versions might extend File Explorer’s right-click context menu. By selecting the Show More Options menu option, you can still access them. You have one more little excuse not to upgrade if that irritates you (as it does some people, according to web forums and comment sections like ours).
7. Internet Required
Even if a user purchases the Pro version of Windows 11, they must sign in to their Microsoft account to utilize the software. If you do not have an internet connection, you will not be able to log in and eventually will not be able to use Windows. It is best to remain with Windows 10 If you want to participate in gaming on an utterly offline device.
8. Higher System Requirements
It is typically useless to upgrade your hardware if the operating system requires it. Even with powerful hardware that can run the most recent games at their highest settings, the OS may not be compatible with some parts. TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module), which is required of the system software for security-related reasons, is the most onerous requirement. Even if you have other, more recent parts, the new operating system is unavailable for you if your motherboard does not physically support TPM 2.0.
9. For Windows 11, You Might Need To Buy A New Computer
When Windows 11 first came out, the most considerable fuss was made about its new hardware specifications. I believe the demand for a more recent CPU was the more common barrier to upgrading, but the need for a TPM security chip received a lot of digital print. All three or four PCs I tested had TPM chips, but their CPUs were not enough to support the upgrade. Additionally, you cannot install the OS if your computer still has a 32-bit processor; it only supports 64-bit Intel/AMD and Arm processors.
10. There Is No Always-Available Search Box In Windows 11
In Windows 11, the search box can be displayed by pressing a Taskbar icon or by pressing Windows Key-S, but there is nothing quite like having a search box waiting for you there constantly, in the same spot. That is available in Windows 10 right next to the Start button. Microsoft has also started embellishing the right side of the box with attractive topical illustrations, which is great confirmation that Windows 10 is still improving.
