I didn’t even know it had released yet. And at my job they’re still using 10.

11 is almost just a reskin of 10

Except with a lot of features removed.

At my job there are many computers with Windows 7 still. I guess it doesn’t really matter as long as the software we need keeps working.

It really doesn’t to businesses. Many places I’ve worked didn’t upgrade the OS until they did a hardware refresh.

Are those computers connected to the internet? Security updates for windows 7 were stopped in 2020.

In fairness I’ve been a Mac user since 2007, but even with my occasional flirtations with Windows, I’ve not used anything higher than 10.

My wife’s machine is running 10. I heard her trying to install 11 via a VM the other day to see how she got on with it, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone swear at a computer quite so much in quite so short a period of time.

Her machine is still running 10.

I used it for about 6 months, and I just couldn’t take it. I wiped it and installed Windows 10.
