Windows 11 was already controversial, by this absurdity of needing a physical TPM 2.0 chip on the PC, something that, although there were measures to avoid it, has been updated everyone. Then came the problem of needing an online Microsoft account yes or yes, so that you can no longer install Windows 11 on a PC that does not have the Internet and, moreover, they force you to go through the Hoop of their trap for confidentiality. And if it was not enough, honestly, the latest version is less and less friendlyAnd the uglier, everything is said.
Install Windows 11 is an odyssey
As most of you know, on this website, we completely analyze equipment, and this includes laptops and complete equipment. This means that, whenever we analyze equipment, we need to install Windows or at least configure it from scratch in laptops in which it is already pre-installed. The most normal and the most better for us is to use a local administrator account, without restrictions, but in the last versions of Windows 11, it is no longer possible in the manner (they have “forced” you for some time , but there there were several methods to skip the requirements … now it is not possible and if you do not have the internet and a Microsoft account, you can no longer configure the equipment).
And what about? Well, a normal user can be a bit like, but not. And it is no longer just the fact that you cannot buy a laptop to play the solitary at your home in the country, monitor everything we do, to settle bloatware This slows the operation of the PC, and that in general, everything works worse.
Come guy, if in the installation assistant themselves, they are already trying to sell you Desk and the Pass Without any modesty …
My reasons to return to Windows 10 in the middle of 2025
Windows 10 was initially launched in July 2015 and was replaced by Windows 11 in October 2021. Thus, why return to an operating system which is almost 10 years old and which, in fact, will cease to have support in October 2025 ? For pure conviviality … and that it is recorded that it is my personal opinions and I do not want to urge anyone to do as well as me.
Leaving aside the theme of the installation and “go through the Microsoft ring”, I will start talking about aesthetics and conviviality. The starting bar. Microsoft wanted to look like Apple with the Windows 11 start -up bar, and what they did is more ugly and less friendly when using. From aesthetics or its position, things that can be fixed with some adjustments to icons and windows, everything is worse.
Let's not talk about the start menu. In Windows 10, you don't need or icons on the desktop, because you can have a perfectly organized start -up menu with everything you need.
And let's not talk about the fact that in Windows 11, it is very expensive to deactivate notifications … Notifications which, as negligence, include advertisement.
This is part of what I told you some time ago, that of “going through the hoop” understands that you must swallow advertising on your own PC and without having an open program or website … Well , yes, we consider that Windows 11 is finally and after a program, but in short, the fact is that this in Windows 10 did not happen.
But for me, personally, I try dozens of teams each year and that I have to walk by measuring their performance to tell you how it works in the criticisms we publish, Windows 11 is another “trap”. The new Microsoft operating system is not only that it contains a dozen background services that swept the performance of the equipment, is in terms of compatibility, it also poses problems.
And I did the test. The same team (personal mine) freshly formatted, only with Windows than by default, gives better performance in Windows 10 than in Windows 11. Neither a barbarism, but it is something that, in the long term, is seen. I will not bother you with empirical data and with screenshots, you can try it for yourself, but the fact is that for example in the reference of the RAM memory of Aida64 That we always use, I noticed performance losses of up to 5% with Windows 11.
In summary and, finally, for the opinions and try new equipment, I will have to continue using Windows 11 because that is what he touches, but for my personal PC, the one I use day after day to work and Playing, I will come back to Windows 10 and the subject of support will give me the same thing, and the main reasons are:
- I can have a local administrator account, they do not offer me to use an online Microsoft account.
- The Start menu is much simpler and clear to use.
- The same with the taskbar, all lighter and visible.
- I have fewer limits and better compatibility.
- I do not receive advertising.
- Performance is not thus weighed.
I repeat that I do not try to urge anyone to do the same as me, because in fact, it is not recommended by the subject of support. But what does everyone do what they think practical, right?
