Besides the hardware incompatibility, its not question of being happy or not. 10 works thats all and this is what I ask from  a computer.  11 looks good but doesn't bring me anything substantial that I see. Nothing "religious" about it. A touch of pragmatic conservatism maybe 😉

We have a half dozen PCs at work, about 1/3 of them are on W11, the rest W10. Everyone prefers the W 10 PCs, much easier to use W10  are the most frequent  comments. https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/people-share-what-they-hate-most-about-windows-11

We have about 800 laptops at work, all of them Windows 11. Everybody prefers them to Windows 10. 90% of the staff are under 60. Not sure if that is relevant.

Seems most people still not getting windows 11....

 

What percentage of Windows users use Windows 11?
 
 
Just 15.44 percent of PCs across the globe have installed Windows 11, meaning it gained 1.83 percentage points in a month. This compares to the 71.29 percent running Windows 10, which fell marginally from 71.88 percent in September.Nov 2, 2022

 

 

 

I have no idea where this whole "windows 10 is easier to use" is coming from. Took me less than half an hour to familiarize myself with Windows 11. 

In this context, "happy" does not mean a state of ecstasy, only satisfaction. :smile:

The reality -- as has been said many times -- is that there appears to be no clear advantage to Windows 11 over Windows 10. The argument that "Win 11 is the latest thing, therefore we should upgrade to it" is unconvincing. Win 11 is clearly a product for which there was no obvious demand, or need, and the fact that we are constantly pressured to convert to it -- and many are resisting that pressure -- is telling.

Then don't upgrade. End of discussion.

No, it’s not.  It’s an open forum. He can give his opinion.

That all ended about the middle of the first page, and even that is a stretch. Comments about MSFS performance were mostly in jest about even putting the video together in the first place.

I made a slight adjustment to the title so it reflects how both systems work with MSFS 2020.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

With my current PC, I went from Windows 7 to Windows 11.  I was pleasantly surprised at just how painless it was, and how quickly I got used to W11. Never looked back.

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

I work in IT and I'm sticking with Win10 for now. Nothing against Win11 (though I hate the new explorer context menu - but I know you can turn that off) it's just that Win10 works fine for me and will be fully supported for another couple of years. I'd upgrade if there was a Win11 feature that I really wanted, but for now all is working really well in Win10.
