Windows 11 vs Windows 10: A Comprehensive Comparison of Features and Performance
This doesn't look like a unbiased comparison. E.g. it says:
| Start Menu | New Start Menu design with pinned and recommended apps | Classic Start Menu with limited features |
A 'Classic Start menu' is one of Windows 7 or Windows XP. Somewhere during the W10 lifecycle the W10 menu became very usable with a full free definable layout of groups, icons in several sizes, etc. So what this should have been is W11 - W10:
| Start Menu | New Start Menu design with limited features, impossible to arrange content or resize menu plus a recommended apps section which can not be turned off, wasting space if a user keeps it empty. | Windows 10 extensive menu which can be fully customized |
Together with other imposed limitations compared to W10, like the impossibility to move the taskbar to the right of the screen (a logical place with wide screens) I won't install W11, even if W10 support stops. Does Microsoft really wonder why the market share of W11 is so low and so slowly growing? Here's an answer. With deliberately taking away useful W10 options (Why? Most users would work with whatever defaults Microsoft sets anyway) Microsoft will keep (especially power) users on W10.
