"Mostly pleasent upgrade, could be kinder to older pcs"
What do you like best about Windows 11?

I like the look, rounded corners, centered taskbar, nicer animations. It just feels a bit fresher and calmer when you use it all day. Widgets are cute too even if i don't use them every day.

Snap layouts actually save me time, dragging windows into place is easier and the virtual desktops work well for separating tasks. Touch and pen support seems improved on my tablet, and security defaults (TPM stuff) are better for peace of mind. Overall it makes day-to-day multitasking smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

Some features feel pushed, MS account everywhere, TPM requirements that brick older machines, and the Start menu is less customizable than before. Settings are sometimes buried and updates still choose the worst moment to restart. Support answers can be slow and the app store still feels half-baked. Little annoyances pile up.

"A Cleaner, Smarter, and More Productive Windows Experience"
What do you like best about Windows 11?

What I appreciate most about Windows 11 is its sleek, modern interface paired with consistently smooth performance. The updated Start menu and taskbar appear more streamlined and organized, making navigation simpler. Multitasking has become more convenient thanks to Snap Layouts, and overall, the system delivers a more refined and responsive user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

What bothers me about Windows 11 is that it often feels restrictive and tends to use a lot of system resources. I also find that some settings I was used to are now more difficult to locate, and there are fewer customization options than there were in Windows 10. Additionally, the need for newer hardware means that it isn’t compatible with many older devices, which I find limiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Modern, Efficient, and Seamless Multitasking Experience"
What do you like best about Windows 11?

Windows 11 has a cleaner and more modern look and feel, making it easier to work with. Multitasking is made smoother through features like Snap Layouts, making it convenient to work with multiple windows simultaneously. The system is made more stable and efficient for running multiple tasks and switching from one application to another. There is a smooth connection to all Microsoft services.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

"Some system requirements appear to be too restrictive, particularly for hardware that is a little bit older." "Some familiar options are a little harder to locate as a result of changes to control panel screens." "Forced updates might interfere with your work at an inconvenient time." "Options for customization have diminished from earlier versions." "Some graphical animations have made things look a little better, but then again, this might make things a little slower."

"Modern Design and Productivity Boosts Make Windows 11 Shine"
What do you like best about Windows 11?

Windows 11 stands out for its modern, streamlined design and productivity-focused features such as Snap Layouts, enhanced virtual desktops, and integrated Microsoft Teams. These improvements make multitasking more efficient and collaboration more seamless, while the refreshed interface feels polished and user-friendly. The centered Start Menu and taskbar offer a cleaner, more contemporary look with quick access to apps and files. Rounded corners and Fluent Design elements add to the aesthetic appeal, and dark mode enhancements provide greater consistency across the system. Snap Layouts and Snap Groups simplify window organization for multitasking, and virtual desktops let users create dedicated spaces for work, personal use, or projects. Enhanced touch, pen, and voice input support make Windows 11 especially suitable for hybrid devices and accessibility needs. Microsoft Teams integration allows for easy chat and video calls from the taskbar, and improved Bluetooth and Wi-Fi management lead to faster, smoother connections. Performance and gaming are boosted with DirectStorage for quicker load times, Auto HDR for better visuals, and seamless Xbox Game Pass integration. Security is also stronger, thanks to the TPM 2.0 requirement, Windows Hello improvements for faster biometric login, and more efficient, streamlined updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

Windows 11 offers a sleek and modern appearance, but it also brings certain frustrations. Its strict hardware requirements prevent many older PCs from upgrading, and even devices that meet the criteria can experience issues like update failures, Wi-Fi disconnections, or unexpected glitches. The centered taskbar and redesigned menus seem less intuitive, and there are fewer customization options compared to previous versions. Although the performance and gaming features show promise, the overall experience can be inconsistent, often leaving users hoping for greater stability and flexibility.

"Modern, Polished, and Exceptionally Productive Experience"
What do you like best about Windows 11?

Windows 11 offers a clean, modern user interface with improved usability and visual consistency. Features like Snap Layouts and Snap Groups significantly enhance multitasking and productivity, especially when working with multiple applications simultaneously. Performance feels smooth and responsive, and the tighter integration with Microsoft services (OneDrive, Teams, Microsoft 365) makes it convenient for both personal and professional workflows. Overall, it provides a more polished and efficient user experience compared to previous versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

The hardware requirements are restrictive, which limits upgrades on otherwise capable older systems. Some UI changes, such as reduced taskbar customization and hidden context menu options, can initially slow down workflows for experienced users. Additionally, certain settings are more deeply nested than before, making advanced configuration slightly less intuitive. Compatibility issues with a few legacy applications may also require workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, User-Friendly, with Impressive Multitasking"
What do you like best about Windows 11?

I use Windows 11 for my regular computer work like browsing, attending classes, and typing documents. It's good to use and user-friendly, helping me work smoothly with multiple tasks at once. I like its clean and modern design, and the multitasking features such as snap layouts make it easy to work. Additionally, I appreciate its fast performance, better security, and its ability to solve problems like slow performance and poor multitasking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

The new start menu feels a bit limited because it has fewer customization options compared to old devices. It would be better if it allowed more customization, such as resizing it and removing the recommended section. Also, during setup, checking hardware compatibility and signing into the Microsoft account took extra time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Works Well for Professional and Everyday Business Use"
What do you like best about Windows 11?

I like best about Windows 11 is how well it supports my day to day work without creating complications. I work as a Dietician & Nutritionist, manage a homeopathy clinic and medical store, and also create educational content for social media. For all these roles, Windows 11 feels stable, smooth, and easy to handle. The system is simple to use, so I don’t waste time figuring things out and can focus directly on my work.

I use it daily for clinic documentation, managing patient records, billing software, diet charts, and inventory related work. Along with that, I create and edit educational videos, scripts, and other content using different editing tools, and Windows 11 handles all of this smoothly. Multitasking works well, I can keep multiple applications open at the same time without slowdown, which is important during busy work hours.

Setting up Windows 11 was easy, and most of the software I already use integrated without any issues. Devices like printers, scanners, and external storage connect easily, which helps in clinic and store operations. Overall, it offers the right number of features for professional use, works reliably every day, and feels well suited for real business and content-focused work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

What I dislike about Windows 11 is that some parts of the system can be confusing and slow down my work at times. After updates, a few settings sometimes change automatically, and I need to fix them again before I can continue clinic management or content editing. Some menus and system settings are not easy to find, and it takes extra clicks to get to things I use often, which can interrupt my workflow.

Windows 11 also requires relatively newer hardware for best performance, so on older computers it can feel a bit heavy or slower than I would like.

These small issues don’t stop me from using it, but for daily professional work like patient records, billing, and video editing they can be a bit frustrating sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Multitasking Maven with a Slick Design"
What do you like best about Windows 11?

I use Windows 11 on my PC every day as my main OS and do all my everyday computing on it. I find it excellent at multitasking and file management for all kinds of work like browsing, file storage, multimedia consumption, work, and gaming. I really like the clean design, Snap layout, smooth performance, and excellent software support. I absolutely love the additional virtual desktops feature because it's so convenient for switching between work and gaming or personal setup. The initial setup was super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

The start menu feels like a downgrade from Windows 10; it's more minimal and less flexible. I also absolutely hate that Windows 11 aggressively pushes OneDrive to automatically sync Desktop, Pictures, and Documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best for Beginners"
What do you like best about Windows 11?

For the people who don't know anything about what an OS is and how a laptop/PC works, Windows is the go-to option because the interface is user-friendly and easy to use. Every step is guided in the beginning with some good preinstalled software, which makes the usage wonderful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

It's true that Windows provides a good experience with the preinstalled software and everything, but after sometime the preinstalled software becomes more like a bloatware or useless things that keep using your useful resources like RAM,CPU & GPU which is not great for a low- to mid-range laptop/PC, and also there is no specific option to remove or stop this software from running.
