Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MilHouse-556: There's hardly any difference between 10 and 11 under the hood except for a few security things. You can make 11 look like 10 with a few taskbar adjustments. Windows 10 goes end of life Oct of 2025. You can still upgrade to Windows 11 from 10 for free. This is exactly it. People bitching about 11 have no damn clue wtf they are talking about as they are almost identical. People need to learn how to use their os. |

I'm pretty comfortable with IT, but I'll let you both in on a little secret. 87% of the problems that come up in threads like these have nothing to do with the OS. The problem is the mindset of the user. It is unspeakably rare for UI/UX changes to truly be nonsensical. 99% of the time the function you want exists unless you are intent on being a picky bottle-baby about the start button placement or some other graphical representation that has precisely zero impact on productivity for anyone with an above room temp IQ. |

If you don't like that, you can drag the Word icon to your taskbar and skip clicking on the Start menu. You could also right click and pin it to the taskbar. Although, in my Win11, Word is in the start menu, so no typing needed.  Attached File |

Now you have the same (or more) information presented to you without having to touch a mouse at all. If you are a frequent Word user then it is literally two keystrokes. If you follow the other suggestion and pin Word to the taskbar then it is literally one click of the right mouse button. You are upset because it is different, not because it is more difficult or less functional. You could even launch Word and pick your recent document from the list directly in your face if you were so inclined. All more efficient than the method you described. |

Nothing wrong with that, Mac laptops are top tier if you want the best laptop out there for power and battery life since the M chips came out. But just be honest about it. |

I loaded up W11 just so that I would be familiar with it even though day to day at work I only have to support W10 LTSC, and ran LTSC at home as well.
I ended up liking W11 more than W10. The UI feels like Microsoft finally did a decent job of unifying the settings panels, the separation between classic Win32 and newer applications isn't as apparent, and the OS itself does feel quicker and more responsive than W10 - Microsoft claims to have overhauled the memory management and scheduler in the NT kernel in W11. The only major tweaking I did to W11 was use some of the well known methods to disable analytics/telemetry, and disabled some services I was never going to use. I even eventually updated my old Inspiron i3 to W11 and despite being "unsupported" (no TPM 2.0) it runs great and also feels more responsive than W10 there. W11's handling of the touch screen when the laptop is folded is also less clunky than W10. The funny thing... When I'm using W11 the UI feels more similar to KDE on Linux than it does to Windows itself. I dual boot my main desktop and laptop with Kubuntu and sometimes I forget which I'm using at first glance. My wife has accidentally logged into Linux (same users on both, main browser is Brave on both) and not even noticed it until she went to try and use Word and it wasn't there. |

There is a big reason why. There are a lot of old Intel computer out there that can upgrade to Windows 10 for security reasons. A lot of people are discovering the fact their ancient computers running mega bucks industrial equipment on tons of old Windows system are vulnerable to hacking in today's climate and require the latest versions of vendor software. Upgrade now to make it all work to Windows 10 and latest vendor software. Windows 11 does not support that hardware so Windows 10 is the best people can do who support machinery and tools that run from Windows operating systems, all years past and present.
All hail the new Windows 10 Master Race of old supported hardware. Now do iOS |
