The system was getting a lot of lag at some point for virtually no reason (new mid range system with nvme SSD, that is flying). All in all it feels like a big beta testing OS, I had to format back to W10 till they fix Windows 11. I will check back in the end of 2024 the state of them, although MS still spam me with ads to move (although I have disabled TPM and as of that the system is not shown as eligible). ----- ### "Good, but not as expected" — 4.0/5 > **Evelyn** | *July 7, 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The new user interface is beautiful. The system runs fast, and it does keep an edge over Mac alternatives in managing apps, and most of the software existing out there. > > **Cons**: There are several shortcuts working far from expected and represented a step backward in comparison with Windows 10. Things in the task bar need a right click instead of the traditional one. Looking for a network demands to open the network software instead of deploying the visible ones as it used to happen straightaway. It is not supported by many desktops, even more powerful than some newest alternatives. There is no Android apps support as suggested when first launched. > > The experience has been good. But there are some shortcuts that take away some productivity when the user is trying to access to simple functions. ----- ### "It's a more secure OS with some nice productivity enhancements." — 4.0/5 > **Martin** | *May 31, 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The added security features and strong integration with the users' Microsoft account. > > **Cons**: The lack of tabbed browsing in file Explorer. > > Overall, my experience with Windows 11 is a very positive one. I've been primarily a Windows user since the early or mid-1990s and have always looked forward to the added features of the latest Windows version - except Windows ME, which was a pointless disaster in my humble opinion. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2057188/windows-11?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2057188/windows-11) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
