WINDOWS 10 OR WINDOWS 11?

Featured Replies

Respected simmers,
What is the best operating system for MSFS 2024, Windows 10 or windows 11? Waiting for suggestions. Thank you.

Windows 11 is the best OS regardless of usage. Imho. I really don't know why some people stick with W10.

I have no comparison but I suggest Win11. Using it since years. All fine. See no reason why not to Upgrade. I also update my car‘s software OTA once available and don‘t stick with the old software.

Window 11 24H2 here. No complaints. Although we use Stardock Start11 to make the interface look like Windows 7 instead of 11.

Hi,

Multiple test (3D Mark, Cinebench) on my setup as well as a friend of mine shows that Windows 10 out performs Windows 11.

Because the GUI is a PIA compared to W10, and that is why 2/3 of windows users are staying on W10.

Seems I have a different view than most on the W11 GUI as well as the MSFS2024 GUI...! Haha! I absolutely prefer the W11 GUI and the MSFS2024 GUI! Both are way better imho! 

It's good there are options and to each his own! 

Windows 10 support is being dropped next year. Your computer can be vulnerable to security loophloes once support is dropped for it.

No reason to go with W10 unless you're just a contrarian. If you want a different start menu, plenty of options for that as well, I personally use Start11.

Win 11 !

10 is end of life / support October 2025, it's ugly & fat  and farts bugs with drivers, windows updates and TCP IP stack 🙂

Never look back! FS 2020 gone for me, Win 11 and FS 2024 is the Future and the Present, until Win 12 knocks at my door...

I'm dual booting my PC with Linux LMDE 6 (Linux Mint Debian Edition) and Windows 11 24H2.

The Win11 install is heavily tweaked, 49 processes at bootup and everything running amazingly well. I use Windows mostly for gaming, and yes, simming of course.

I'm learning Linux and so far I'm pleased with how well it works as a desktop OS nowadays. I like how configurable everything is and it feels good knowing I'm not streaming a bunch

of personal data to MS, Google and alikes.

Or alternatively… because so many people with really good and powerful, perfectly serviceable PC’s can’t upgrade because of the Windows 11 TPM security demands.

i have a very decent custom built desktop PC that will eat most modern Win11 off-the-shelf PC’s for breakfast but it cannot run W11. I must toss it and replace it to get Win 11? IT is one of the most wasteful industries on the planet!

I have at least 8 desktops at my office that can’t upgrade to Win 11 for the same reason. I am loathe to buy entire new PC’s for admin staff just so we can have Win 11.

That is the REAL reason so many people have not upgraded yet.

Windows 11 overtook 10 on Steam in September. 24H2 will likely shift a lot more.
