Oops... That's my phone's spelling checker being a dick again.
Don't be worried, even before watching this video I wasn't expecting Windows 11 to be worse than Windows 10, but these tests confirm no changes to note on the hardware they tested, but note this is an early, leak of Windows 11, it's possible that there is a stack more work to be done on it.I'm just worried about incompatibility issues with games...
The same way it can take a word like 'almost' and correct it to 'amongst'.How could yer phone mistake 'due' for 'sure'???
Oh, it must be an iPhone.. heh
To be fair, I agree with you. When I upgraded from Windows 7 to 8, it was smooth except a few errors, and bit of issues here and there. The upgrade from Windows 8 to 10 was much smoother with only a few small errors, and minor issues. So, I don't have anything to be worried about. Most of the code underneath Windows 11 is "Windows 10X," so this is basically an updated version of Windows 10. Some are calling it "Windows 10.1," but there is new features, new locations, new menus, new options, new spots for old options, new icons, and more.Don't be worried, even before watching this video I wasn't expecting Windows 11 to be worse than Windows 10, but these tests confirm no changes to note on the hardware they tested, but note this is an early, leak of Windows 11, it's possible that there is a stack more work to be done on it.
Much like Apple's new philosophy of designing their chip(s) around the OS. The latest iOS laptops has the "M1" chip to be 100% compatible and taken advantage of. Kinda like a console philosophy.My take on the Windows 11 OS is that we are starting to see new processors being developed, there are ARM based CPUs, CPUs with combinations of higher performance and light workload-oriented cores that allow for switching between power efficiency and performance workloads and then finally there will be some new hardware changes such as DDR 5 coming which might require a different approach to managing the hardware. Windows 11 might be how Microsoft deal with all of this. What is clear to me, is that there is more to this than what we can see on the surface.
I'll come back here if I have more thoughts.Check out this video for some performance related info on Windows 10 and gaming.

As I recall, Windows 8 was the first OS that allowed a direct upgrade from 8 to 8.1 and then to 10 without having to do a full fresh install. For most people the few errors were part of the transitional learning curve, but yeah, it wasn't 100% smooth sailing when I did the same thing, there was some turbulence.To be fair, I agree with you.

Back in the day when Microsoft were a consulting company, they were working under NDA for 2 competing companies. Microsoft worked with IBM on MS-DOS and Apple on their new OS that would be driven by mouse and a GUI. It is funny how Microsoft get accused of copying designs and ideas that they developed, but in the book When Computing got Personal by Matt Nicholson you can find out what really happened at the time.I noticed that the UI looks similar to Apple's iOS UI. A little bit, but the icons are centered. I think that the design was done to help "lazy" people be focused to one area for the Start menu.
Yes, and I am expecting to see a wider range of more affordable Surface products that will use ARM and other non X86 based CPUs coming through soon after or even alongside the official launch of Windows 11, which will hopefully see an end to Windows 10S.Much like Apple's new philosophy of designing their chip(s) around the OS.

I don't trust leaked versions of unreleased operating systems, first you get no support and secondly you don't know if the people that are leaking it have left the installer intact or added any malware. I wouldn't want to risk losing data just to be the first to get it.I plan on installing Win11 on my home/game machine this weekend..
Will advise how it goes as it pertains to COD...
OMG. That list makes me feel old, I started using Windows at Windows 95, then moved to Windows 98SE, which is missing from your list!Microsoft has the "Every Other" curse...
Every other OS of theirs has been garbage..
Windows 3.11 was cutting edge and new..
Windows 95 was horrible...
Windows 98 was great...
Windows ME bit the big one..
Windows XP was the industry standard...
Windows Vista blew chunks...
Windows 7 was awesome...
Windows 8 was the bottom of the barrel...
Windows 10 was great...
Time will tell if Windows 11 breaks the curse...
It seems like the bad OS are all beta tests for the good ones..

There are some issues reported already, so just keep that in mind. For example, WinGet was recently released to collect information...I plan on installing Win11 on my home/game machine this weekend..

I am also the early adopter of Windows, too. Windows 95 was... rough. My father got a bunch of programs... including a rough... version of Mortal Kombat. Almost arcade perfect, but rough. I thought it was not ready for market. You'd have to wait for minutes before it completely loads.Microsoft has the "Every Other" curse...

That's because Microsoft planned to have this "Live Service" business model (a.k.a SaaS). I think Microsoft is gearing for a total SaaS change. Because they want the Windows 11's store to function similarly to Xbox Live, to compete and overthrow Steam. That's what he meant by "economic prosperity for developers."As I recall, Windows 8 was the first OS that allowed a direct upgrade from 8 to 8.1 and then to 10 without having to do a full fresh install.

I used to use the start button as shutdown, Windows 8 changed that convention. Microsoft backpeddled because of people like your brother and I.I liked the changes that came with Windows 8, my brother on the other hand, hated it, what he hated most was having to press the power button to shut down his PC instead of using the Start menu to do it PC. I asked him to show me how he turns his PC on, he pressed the button at the top of his case, so I asked him why he didn't use the start menu and the penny dropped! lol
I was a teenager who did not understand business or tech or whatever. I was living my life at the time. God. I love the 80's and 90's.Back in the day when Microsoft were a consulting company, they were working under NDA for 2 competing companies.

I expect this philosophy to spread into [their future] tablets, and phones. ARM was designed for phones, tablets and similar devices in the first place, sooo... yeah.Yes, and I am expecting to see a wider range of more affordable Surface products that will use ARM and other non X86 based CPUs coming through soon after or even alongside the official launch of Windows 11, which will hopefully see an end to Windows 10S.
That's why I never do it. Though, I would suggest getting it from the original source than these websites offering it. If you discover it or find them on Search Engines, it was targeted to reach you. That's SEO.I don't trust leaked versions of unreleased operating systems, first you get no support and secondly you don't know if the people that are leaking it have left the installer intact or added any malware.

Same here. Heh.OMG. That list makes me feel old, I started using Windows at Windows 95, then moved to Windows 98SE, which is missing from your list!
It's about a 4% drop in performance from 10 to 11,but 3% is usually considered within margin of error, so not really a big difference, though I was hoping to see 11 come out on top.Another few matches and still no issues with Windows 11 and COD..
I did a benchmark on a random HP laptop.. The results were, if I am reading them right, surprising..

I can't remember if it was Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10 that also had app focus issues at the start, I would expect that to be resolved when the full product launch goes live.OK Found a down side..
I have other screens open when I am playing.. Chrome, email, etc etc..
Sometimes when something "happens" on another screen, I'll remain in the game screen but my cursor will be active in the other screen.. So all of the sudden, I'll just STOP and it appears I am froze up.. Not a good thing in the middle of a firefight..
I have to click Left Button to "activate" the current game screen...
Annoying...
