"User-Friendly with Enhanced GUI"
4/5
What do you like best about Windows 11?

I use Windows 11 because it helps me work with most applications available on the internet. I find it very simple to operate, and the GUI of the interface is getting better and better with new updates compared to the old version of Windows. I've been using Windows for years, and I appreciate that I can still find most of the items, like Window Explorer and Control Panel, in familiar places. The new settings option GUI is also making it easy to manage the settings of Windows. Setting up Windows 11 is very easy nowadays; it seems like anyone can do it.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

I don't like Windows pushing OneDrive and signup with Windows account while onboarding a laptop. Most of us still want to use local account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Modern, Fast, and Productivity Focused os"
5/5
What do you like best about Windows 11?

What I like best about Windows 11 is its modern UI/UX, smooth performance, and strong Microsoft integrations. It offers good pricing/ROI for productivity, simple onboarding and support, and AI features like Copilot that enhance efficiency, multitasking, and overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

What I dislike about Windows 11 is its occasional UI/UX inconsistencies and system requirements that limit older devices. Some integrations feel tightly locked into Microsoft services, updates can disrupt workflow, and advanced features may require a learning curve despite overall good performance and AI support.

"Sleek UI and Seamless Integration Elevate Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Windows 11?

I use Windows 11 on every computer I own personally and at work. Compared to Windows 10, I think the UI has improved with a more sleek and easy look. I like the simplicity because I don't have to think too hard or do any workarounds to do what I need to do. It's super easy to set up, and as someone who previously used Windows 10, Windows 11 just made some quality of life improvements, and the update to it was super quick. It works well with all the software I use. Things like shared drive and Office 365 work seamlessly. The share drive feature allows us to put necessary documents inside and all have access from wherever we may be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

I think the optimization could slightly improve. My laptop isn't super powerful and most of the RAM is used just by having it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, High-Performing OS with Microsoft Support"
4/5
What do you like best about Windows 11?

Windows 11 is the latest iteration of the Windows OS for PC from Microsoft. Best thing about it is that it has been around and regardless of the changes from version to version its UI is still pretty intuitive to use and performs well. It is the central point of integration for all applications inside the windows environment and while decently priced when bough separately, it typically comes bundled with a new PC and has decent ROI combined with the lifetime of a PC. The latest version has new AI features and it comes backed by the support of Microsoft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

Things to dislike from Windows 11 is that in its current itteration Micrsofot has blotted it with a loot of upselling and phone home technology that gives Microsoft a lot of information it should just take from users. Privacy on the OS has been eroded and its hidden costs in the form of software subscriptions for applications from the manufacturer are upsetting users and driving some away.

"A Robust and Productive OS for Modern Full-Stack Developers"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Windows 11?

As a web developer, the Snap Layouts feature is incredibly helpful for multitasking between VS Code, my terminal, and the browser. I also really appreciate the improved WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) performance, which makes running Docker and Python scripts much smoother than in previous versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

The system requirements are quite strict, which might be a barrier for some users. I also find the new context menu (right-click) a bit redundant because it often requires an extra click to 'Show more options' to find common developer tools. Sometimes, finding deep system settings is still confusing as they are split between the Settings app and the old Control Panel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Aesthetic Design and Software Compatibility Shine, Despite Minor Glitches"
4/5
What do you like best about Windows 11?

I like Windows 11's UI and simplistic features. The navbar at the bottom and the good-looking icons are aesthetically pleasing. The smooth animations are pleasing to the mind, making navigation more enjoyable. Moreover, Windows 11's compatibility with every software out there is something I appreciate the most. I use a lot of different software from various authors, and under Windows, they pass permissions easily, which is very helpful compared to MacOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

It hangs sometimes when searching for something in file explorer, which could be a RAM issue, but I've heard Linux is better in this regard. Maybe a lot of bloatware that comes pre-installed could be deleted, which can help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Windows 11: Easy Setup, Seamless App Integration, and a Wholesome Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Windows 11?

I’m using an Acer Aspire 3 and my operating system is Windows 11. I received it as a gift for purchasing the device. Windows is full of options. From MS office which I use on a daily basis to customization. It was very easy to upgrade to and then install and set up on my laptop. It’s also easy to integrate with other apps and even with my iOS device (iPhone) through link to Windows. To sum up, Windows is a conclusive, wholesome experience.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

Been using it for 4 years and I can’t say I found anything that is a “killer” disadvantage. Nice work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth Multitasking, Minor Update Hurdles"
4/5
What do you like best about Windows 11?

I use Windows 11 mostly for office work, web browsing, coding, and everyday tasks. It works well for multitasking, running development tools, attending meetings, and managing files without much hassle. Windows 11 makes my daily work easier by keeping everything organized and running smoothly in one system. It helps me handle multiple apps at the same time, improves productivity, and supports most of the software I use without compatibility issues. What I like most about Windows 11 is its clean design and smooth performance during daily use. The multitasking features, better window management, and faster overall experience make work feel more comfortable and less distracting. The initial setup was pretty easy and straightforward for our team, with most drivers and apps working without much manual setup, and the interface felt familiar, allowing us to start working quickly without needing much training. It works well with most software, and handles daily work smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

One thing that could be better in Windows 11 is the update process because some updates take longer than expected and occasionally slow the system for a while. I also feel some settings are harder to find compared to older versions of Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust Security and Seamless Multitasking with Windows 11"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Windows 11?

I love using Windows 11's ability to hover over the maximize button and snap windows into precise grids, which is a game changer for my workflow. The Snap groups feature remembers my layouts, making it easy to switch from IT administration tasks to music production without having to re-snap each window. The stability and driver support of Windows 11 are essential for running resource-heavy applications like FL Studio and Ableton Live, providing the processing efficiency needed for complex audio layering and MIDI mapping without system lag. Moreover, as a cybersecurity student, I appreciate the more robust security framework with features like TPM 2.0, secure boot, Virtualisation-based security, and hypervisor-protected code integrity, ensuring protection against unauthorized boot software and malicious code execution. Also, the setup process offers a clean, simplified interface that guides you through connectivity, account linking, and privacy settings, making it straightforward.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

A major complaint remains the inability to move the taskbar to the top or side of the screen, which was a core feature in previous versions. Instead of just a bottom/center toggle, Windows should restore the Taskbar location on screen, drop-down (Left, Top, Right, Bottom) that existed in Windows 10.

"Secure and User-Friendly, But AI Can Be Pushy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Windows 11?

I like that Windows 11 is easy to use and access, making it suitable for users who are new to the Information Technology field. The security is robust and is built on a zero trust framework where both the software and hardware work together to isolate sensitive data. I appreciate the AI-driven app features that ease manual efforts. The taskbar and menu bar are more refined compared to older versions. Setting up a new PC and using Windows Backup is much easier and faster. The initial setup is straightforward and convenient, following a plug & play design with step-by-step guidance and companion apps. It automatically detects new hardware and provides seamless WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 11?

I don't like Windows 11's aggressive AI and marketing because it always suggests making Microsoft Edge the default browser and keeps pushing for the use of Microsoft Copilot and other Microsoft features. Its fragmented user experience due to mixed design elements is bothersome. Also, the requirement for an internet connection and a Microsoft account for setup hinders offline setup.
