Why don't people use Windows 11?
In October 2021, Microsoft launched Windows 11, its latest version of the world’s most popular operating system. However, many users are still hesitant to upgrade, preferring to stick with older versions like Windows 10. In this video, we’ll discuss the reasons why users might avoid using Windows 11.
1. Strict System Requirements
One of the biggest hurdles users face when trying to upgrade to Windows 11 is the stringent system requirements. Windows 11 requires specific processors that support TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, two features that aren’t available on all devices, especially older ones. This makes many devices incompatible with the new system, forcing users to stick with Windows 10 or consider buying expensive new devices.
2. Stability and compatibility
When a new operating system is released, it is usually full of bugs and technical issues that may affect the stability of the system and the performance of applications. Although Microsoft has released multiple updates to improve the stability of Windows 11, there are concerns about compatibility with some old software or even some modern applications. Some users rely on specialized or old software that may not work efficiently or stop completely upon upgrade, which makes them hesitant to move.
3. User Interface Change
Windows 11 comes with a redesigned user interface that includes a new Start menu, centered icons, and other elements such as rounded corners, which are intended to improve the visual experience. However, some users may find this change uncomfortable or confusing. Many are accustomed to the traditional interface of Windows 10 or even Windows 7, and do not want to learn a new way to interact with the operating system. Changes in the user interface may take some time to adapt, which some do not want.
4. Not enough attractive features
Although Windows 11 comes with some new features like performance improvements and an improved gaming experience, many users don’t see these features as worth upgrading to. For many, Windows 10 does everything it needs to do, and there’s no compelling reason to give it up for Windows 11, especially if the new features don’t make a huge difference in their daily lives.
5. Fear of new experiences
Fear of change is a major psychological factor that influences the decision to upgrade. Windows 11 is still new to many users, and it is well known that moving to a new operating system can take time to adapt and understand new features. Users who rely on computers for work or study may be concerned about potential risks such as data loss or downtime in the event of unexpected problems.
6. Continuous updates and security issues
In recent years, there have been some issues regarding Windows updates and their impact on the stability of the system. Users may be afraid to upgrade to Windows 11 due to concerns about frequent updates that may contain bugs that affect the system’s operation. In addition, concerns about security and privacy may make some avoid using the new system until all security issues are resolved.
Conclusion
Ultimately, the decision to upgrade to Windows 11 comes down to personal preference and the unique needs of each user. While some see the upgrade to Windows 11 as a necessary step to take advantage of the latest technologies and features, others are satisfied with the performance of Windows 10 and see no need to change it. These issues will remain a source of debate until the dust settles and it becomes clear whether Windows 11 will become the primary operating system or remain a secondary option.
