Just seems to be a marketing upgrade for Microsoft. For basic day to day there is no advantage. > > **Cons**: The cost and time to purchase and transfer information. By constantly sowing fear that windows 10 would put our computers at risk was nothing but a marketing ploy. > > My old computer worked fine other than it slowing down I think primarily because of all the garbage Microsoft loaded in with every "update" ----- ### "Windows 11." — 4.0/5 > **Aji** | *March 12, 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: That it a very decent software could be used for gaming > > **Cons**: That it's a bit slow after a while and cost money > > I think it Hosts most of my programs with ease ----- ### "Interaction with Windows 11" — 4.0/5 > **Mohamed** | *July 21, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface feels significantly more intuitive compared to previous versions; its design closely resembles that of a modern tablet, which greatly enhances the overall user experience by making navigation smoother, faster, and more visually accessible, even for those who are not particularly tech-savvy. > > **Cons**: It differs from the classic Windows layout in terms of icon arrangement; it takes a bit of time to get used to it. > > Since I started using Windows 11, I haven't had any major issues adapting to it, apart from the time it took to get used to the icons. Other than that, I find this version more intuitive and user-friendly. ----- ### "Windows 11 Review" — 5.0/5 > **Kyle** | *December 25, 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: In my job I have to work a lot within networks. Windows 11 makes changing my network settings extremely easy and allows me to do it within seconds, greatly saving me time on the job. > > **Cons**: Sometimes there are some scaling issues with some applications that have to be run with windows 7 compatibility. > > Windows 11 allows me to do my job efficiently and effectively. ----- ### "Windows 11: A Powerful Upgrade for Productivity and Security" — 5.0/5 > **Bruno** | *August 4, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I had the opportunity to test the Windows 11 system as an IT Marketing Intern for Traveledex. The overall impression from the usage of the system is positive, and I appreciate the Modern User Interface, Better Performance, Enhanced Security, Improved Multitasking Technology, and other utilities. > > **Cons**: To begin with, I would like to note that Windows 11 has High Hardware Requirements. You are to be advised that the system demands more RAM and CPU power than the previous versions of Windows. Secondly, there is a Steep Learning Curve associated with the operation of the system. What is more, the Taskbar Customisation is limited compared to the older versions. Furthermore, Windows 11 may prove to be incompatible with Some Older Printers and Scanners, and other peripheral devices. In addition, there are Too Many Background Utilities, which makes the program run slower on older computers. > > As for my personal opinion on this operating system, it cannot be called anything but great. It has certainly helped our team to work with increased productivity, effective collaboration tools, and advanced content creation options. Thus, the product is worth choosing if you have a modern PC, and it is better to avoid it if you have a computer with older hardware. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1029729/windows-11?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1029729/windows-11) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
