On June 24, 2021, Microsoft officially announced and revealed Windows 11, the next major edition of Windows. During the announcement, Microsoft revealed its new Windows interface and store. It also revealed that Windows 11 would be able to support Android applications from Amazon’s app store, meaning that (some) popular apps on your phone will become available on the computer. 


However, many people are annoyed with Microsoft for breaking their promise; in 2015, Microsoft had claimed that Windows 10 was “officially the last version of Windows,” meaning that people would no longer have to purchase new Windows versions. 


Thankfully, Microsoft assured everyone in their announcement that everyone who had previously purchased a Windows 10 license would be able to upgrade to Windows 11 with no fee. Unfortunately, there appear to be problems with the compatibility between Windows 11 and specific CPUs. If the chip does not appear on Windows’ Processor Requirements List, then the user will be unable to upgrade to Windows 11.


Other Windows users are unsatisfied with the design and changes of Windows 11; many claim that Windows 11 is “lazy” and “ugly”. A large concern is the lack of actual improvements; requests that people held for years (tabbed folders, system-wide dark mode, a consistent UI, for example) were ignored once again. Instead of addressing the changes that many had hoped for, Microsoft had instead emphasized its “rounder corners” and “softer feel,” features that many don’t care about. Many people online are already beginning to write off Windows 11 as a MacOS ripoff, especially after Microsoft displayed their new centered taskbar and rounded corners.


The general consensus is that Windows 11 isn’t a terrible upgrade, but it’s not important at all. It’s basically a visual touch up for Windows 10 that includes a few unimportant features. For people who like the aesthetic of MacOS but don’t like how MacOS functions, Windows 11 is the solution. It’s unfortunately more CPU-intensive than Windows 10 though, and people should read the Windows’ Processor Requirements List to ensure that they can actually transition to Windows 11.
