“Don’t break compatibility.” Nothing better than installing Windows…and your expensive Microsoft Games don’t work anymore…
The mistake Microsoft keeps making in Windows is the end of support, which I hate.
she is scarry
Bridget never age
Yeah. When is Windows 12 beta coming out?
Dear Ms. Carey,
Today I upgraded one of my two computers to Windows 11. But to be honest, I have — spontaneously — really the impression that it is a rollback to Windows NT, Vista or 8 …
— my very best!
Not gonna buy new procesor that gonna last easily next 5year just because Windows haha. I bet I will still useing my processor when windows 15 drops 😂 not mentioning laptops…
I now have Windows 11 on my computer. I hope it won’t crash.
Beautiful blue eyes
Seems like they just repeated all those mistakes. Beautiful design but has tons more issues … Let’s just wait for windows 12
Looks like they learned nothing from win8 failure + they deleted some comfortable features I used to
windows xp & win7 still my favourite. hated the windows 8 coz the total overhaul GUI. then the 2nd update gives us back the start button. this time u need to right click it. takes years to get used to. windows 10 is more user friendlier than windows 8.
Honestly.. W11 is a really good OS, at least compared to 8 and 10.
But, i really would appreciate more customization all over the place.
Worst Windows experience was being forced switch from Windows 7 to Windows 10. With 7, I felt like Microsoft finally got it right!
She is so nice, I loved her cherishing enthusiasm 😄
You would have thought that over several iterations of messy and unsuccessful launches of new OS’s that they would have learned something regarding their user base. It appears the Microsoft have not learned anything at all. Companies, retailers and just the good old common user are all looking at FOSS operating systems and saying “Why not?”
Call me crazy, loved Vista hated the ugly virus infested hellscape that was XP.
The worst, the original Windows. Everyone who knew how to use computers had to rely on DOS to get any real work done. Of course Windows 8 will forever live in infamy
i have very powerful PC .but its not allow to WIN11 !!
Windows 11 is a planed upgrade, not errors or mistakes made by MS. MS gave away windows 10 because of the windows 8 fiasco. MS made available windows 10 upgrade free to everyone, even with a pirated copy of windows so every installation was legal. Why?, because they wanted the users to install it’s spying software on their machines. Now they can impose anything that want on you. Didn’t make much money out of it, because MS charges the PC manufacturers for the copy of windows that comes installed in your computer. So now to make money, MS, engineered windows 11 to required more resources and very specific resources may I add, in order to run windows. As a result, a lot of users will buy a new computer because they want, they need the latest version of windows to be up to date and protected. While windows 11 can run on older hardware, MS want’s you to buy a new computer so they can charge the PC manufacturers for the windows on your new PC.
It’s all money $$$$$
A unique touch of comedy for a product’s review 🙂
I enjoy Windows 11. There are some new features that make using windows 11 very user friendly. The menus for settings feels like I’m using an tablet with descriptive details for each setting. I do feel they tried to make it very user friendly.
I do feel that windows 11 is fast and smooth, animations, and organization is done very well. I can game with no problems.
Since I’ve used the beta on day 1 I have only a couple gripes. The beta of course needs work. Sadly the full release does too. Groove music cannot organize and get music information as good as kodi or plex can. It will still have unknown album for a majority of songs leaving me to have to manually add information even after song, artist, and album info are added to each file from the CD ripped using mp3 tag. Including album art.
The right click menu I do think can use some work. I really do enjoy the icons that available for options we use often, but the original menu is separate option at the far bottom of the that menu. It should be all 1 menu.
The start menu I think could use some tweaks. I feel they tried to copy chrome book. Using apps from an app drawer instead of they tile design. Once it’s full you have to scroll down to get more apps you saved. Or choose all apps. It takes longer, extra steps to find what you want.
Lastly I miss and want ( and will find a way to do it.) the search bar on the task bar at all times. Sure I can click start and it’s right there, but I prefer to have search available without a step in the way. I’m used to the convenience of just typing in the Taskbar and bam no worries.
I’m sure there will be some changes in the future. I look forward to seeing what Microsoft comes up with.
The confusion continues. My PC has a skylake chip so no automatic upgrade from windows 10. But stick it on an ISO and clean install — no problem ! That makes no sense at all, especially as it doesn’t run slower on Windows 11, and my chip has TPM2 and secure boot.
So far I like 11 but the over strict hardware requirements is horrible. They should have gotten strict about it in 2024–25. This is to early for being that strict. Many people with 2 year old computers can’t install 11 in a legit way. That’s unacceptable
she got the right energy
People will learn to get over the changes , but if it runs like junk & isn’t compatible with a lot of stuff that will obviously kill it. 2024 Windows 12 drops .…..
That was a great video Bridget. Very funny in parts too. Can’t even get Windows 11 in Australia yet, so maybe by the time it arrives in Australia the problems people may have been having may be addressed. Here’s hoping anyway. Great job Bridget. Also I know it’s personal preference, but I quite like the redesign of the UI and with the taskbar being in the centre. Oh well, different strokes for different folks I guess.
‘I’m just looking for a bit of stability in my life right now, because I’m fragile. Like a fragile.….….….….….….….….….……thing’. LMAO!!!!!!
Oh my God I remember Apple commercial very well
Microsoft will never change I hope it dies
Why kill a perfectly good flower for your stupid video?
Welcome to vista mark 2. My PC can’t run it. Already jumped ship from laptop to Chromebook. Looking at Linux for the PC.
God, we’re still waiting for Windows 9… :-I
i´m still stuck on 7 lol my graphics card doesn´t work on Windows 10 ever since 10 bricked my Hard Drive, something else must have happened to the graphics card making it unable to run on 10 anymore when it died
AMD need I say more
doesn’t matter how hard U try to manipulate it, c|net.…
it DID also failed miserably
… windows11.… yawn…ZZzzzzz.….
Windows has terrible launch:
Windows 95 and XP: Are we joke to you?!
Windows 11 suck because it won’t work on a laptop with a Blu-ray drive for no reason! I now on Ubuntu
From what I’ve read, Windows 11 won’t even let yo use your computer unless it’s hooked up to the internet. Big NOPE. But they’re not letting me keep my alternative because Windows 10 support stops in 4 years. What stinkers.
Well guest what? They are repeating history
You will find Carey’s connection quality is higher than Lexy’s.
you sound like my Boss…
anyway I am using dell g3 and I am gonna give try to window 11 on my laptop window 11 work nicely after update
and anyway I am planning to buy Alienware or Asus ROG or Acer Predator in 2023 depend on future models sooo 1 more year with this Dell g3 laptop
thought lets give try to window 11 at least in 1 year whatever experience i will get that will help me to make decision whether i should go with this OS in future Laptops or not.
Windows 11 is just Vista 2, it has aggressive hardware requirements, major UI changes that most people don’t like (major icon changes, taskbar in the middle, etc), and many more issues.
My laptop is unsupported because the processor type was not supported. The original version of the CPU (intel i5 5/6gen) is supported but the version that’s identical, but with an extra dye for VPro is not supported. It has 2 cores, a high enough clock speed, etc but it still won’t work.
Staying on Windows 10 until 12 comes out
Windows 11 is a huge flop!! It was so bad I had to put Windows 10 back on as 11 kept popping up with errors and the gaming performance was shocking I hope Microsoft will make Windows 12 better
But windows 8 is way better than 10, the 10 is so heavy compared to 8, windows 10 is sluggish and not usable with mechanical hard drive that most low end laptop come with
Windows 7 was beautifull, but the other releases can learn one or two rhings from GNU Linux distros and Microsoft Os X.
Windows Vista was a great operating system it was amazing because of the aero theme and the transparency.
