But still using large icons as if we were in kindergarten, pushing MS products? Even though I eliminate the latter from the default W/10 start menu,
I much prefer the Open Shell menu with its compact setting:
I have a Dell 10th gen i3 laptop that I am typing on right now. I backed up the Win10 installation on it with AOMEI. Onto an external hard drive. I then clean installed Win 11.
I see no downside to Win 11. The upside is that it looks 50% better than Win 10. The Settings menus are much more logically arranged and look nicer. This will help MS compete with Apple.

Here is a commentary I agree with>>>>>
And there are changes under the hood, from expanded input support for pen, touch and voice, and optimizations in gaming and security, and even promises of improved battery life thanks to improved system efficiency. Some lesser-used Windows 10 features are getting cut too from Windows 11 too.
Let’s look at some of the biggest changes that have arrived Windows 11.
If there’s one thing that stands out about Windows 11, it’s the visuals. Microsoft has come a long way from boring boxes and wallpapers of grassy green hills. Included with that advancement is a new version of the Windows logo, the return of the startup sound which has been dropped since Windows 8, and a revamped collection of icons that enhances flat designs with colorful gradients and adds a touch of depth to the otherwise 2D images.
One of the biggest changes is a rounded look on pretty much everything. Windows, menu panels and notification boxes all have matching rounded corners that give everything a softer look.

When doing a win 10 installation I never ever sign into a Microsoft account. Windows 11 installation forces you too. IOW to install 11 you must be online and have an MS account such as a outlook.com mailbox
But I blundered my way past this by putting the wrong password in a few times for my outlook.com account. The installation procedure then moved me along and said to sign in later, which I will never do. Why should I be forced to sign in for their data collection purposes? Screw /em!
