Comparing Windows 10 and Windows 11 in a fresh installation.
Comparing Windows 10 and Windows 11 in a fresh installation.
Hello everyone!
I’m planning to assemble a new PC next week and have a few questions:
Which operating system should I choose? I mainly use it for gaming and video editing.
If you have any suggestions or improvements, I’d really value your input!
The graphics card will be upgraded soon—likely to a 7900 GRE—and I’m just using the current one now because it was in my previous setup.
Thank you all for your feedback!
For longer use, choose Win 11. Win 10 won't receive updates by October 2025.
I believe Windows 10 will stop receiving support late next year. Would that matter a lot to you? Or would it just be a minor inconvenience?
Would you get annoyed by the changes between version 10 and 11...especially since some controls are moved around? You'd have to adapt to that new layout. Maybe you'd think it's not a big deal?
I'm currently using version 10. If I were starting fresh tomorrow, I'd probably pick 11...but I anticipate facing some difficulties and frustration along the way.
I'm not sure, but I could imagine living happily on 10 forever. My reasons for wanting 11 are unclear. You might think you'd be missing out if you stayed on 10.
Currently, I'm using both Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems. It took me around a day to get accustomed to the differences in the user interface after switching to the first Windows 11 system. The changes are quite similar across other Windows versions throughout the history of Windows. The transition from Windows 7 to 8 was significant, as was moving from Windows 3.11 to Windows 95. Switching from Windows 10 to Windows 11 was smooth—almost no noticeable difference.
Quoted for truth.
They're essentially the same OS, with variations in the UI. There are settings to adjust the Start Menu and Taskbar to give it a more modern feel.
Windows 11 performs better with Intel 13th and 14th generation CPUs. It might work with 12th, but I'm not certain.
Other than that, it's just a small upgrade, and most changes go unnoticed by users.
I don't see any need for Windows 10, though that's just my opinion.
I believe Windows hasn't undergone significant changes since Vista. Most developments after that have focused on improving the user interface and experience.
It might be reasonable to attribute some of the improvements in Windows 10 to the security features introduced around the middle of its life and standardized in version 11. However, overall, Windows has remained relatively stable.
For this discussion, Windows 11 seems more suitable. Windows 10 still offers about a year and a half of support, but after that the risk of security problems increases, especially since hardware manufacturers often stop providing updates for it. You could upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 later if you prefer, though it might be challenging.
On the surface it seems W10 and 11 are identical, but they aren't. Don't focus only on the user interface, some elements originate from W95/98 at a higher resolution with different fonts. The functionality is quite distinct. The main variations lie in security and hardware management, while the GUI and desktop features are only slight differences. A few were ported back to W10, but it remains outdated compared to W11, and it hasn't been properly updated for several years. W10 is much closer to W8/8.1 than to W11. In short, the new hardware deserves a new operating system.
