It’s not that they love what they have, its the constant changes from Microsoft that make you have to relearn how to do things again and again and again...

And these discussions of the latest GUI changes leave out the fact that there’s (other than that) no significant changes to the operating system that you need to pay more money for.

Ignoring the user interface, what does Windows 11 do that Windows 10 did not do?

But to answer your question.

It makes performance improvements in memory management, also better larger monitor support, improved external monitor support, and improved multi-desktop. Also it has a better tablet mode for 2 in 1 devices. Oh you can install android apps right from the amazon appstore.

Plus Auto HDR feature and dynamic refresh rates.
A greatly improved focus assist on notifications.

There are widgets too. I don’t think it’s an improvement the way it’s implemented but some may.

Updated to Win11 on Weds after opening screen gave me an ultimatum - update now or stay with Win10...or so it seemed.

After updating (relatively painless and fast) and cleaning out some of the crap, I have noticed both the browser and apps are running noticeably faster.

My only gripe is uninstalling “Widgets” - truly a useless and very annoying addition. I have removed it from the taskbar but would like to completely uninstall that garbage without going into the registry.

Aesthetics are similar to Win10 - not much different.

Overall, considering the minuses, a slight improvement over Win10.
