Windows 10 verses Windows 11
Dec 29, 2023 18:29:57 #
In the early days of PCs we had an office full of TI desktops with full height 3&5MB hard drives. After a few months operation the hard drives would start to squeal and/or not start when the power was turned on. The tech remedy was to turn the units upside down to allow the oil to run back into the drive bearing; worked every time! A lot has changed since those early days...

Yes indeed - HDs have been using air bearing now for awhile.
I’ve seen some BIG mistakes in IT departments. An accidental Halon drop, a contractor who hit the EPO and took down a major National bank and hundreds of ATMs for a day, a contractor that destroyed 384TB of data with a keystroke, and best of all, a bucket on top of a rack to catch AC condensation that fell over and cost 150K$.

No, I'm serious.
Think about it, a round disk in a square package. the disk doesn't go to the corners.
Small area, but it exists...

Get Win11. Under the changed desktop, everything works the same. Just more advertising.

Windows 10 was touted as being the last version of windows, then came Windows 11 6 years after Win 10 was released. Get ready for Windows 12, which may be released in 2024 if the news is correct/true.

Well, the popular consensus is that Windows 11 is the way to go and after reading all the input here I now agree and wish to thank those that contributed here. I guess I could wait for Windows 12, but I've never been one that jumps onto the newest software and/or technology and since Windows 11 will be supported for a good while I think it will do just fine. On another note, my old Windows 7 machine will not be abandoned any time soon as there is software on it that I use frequently and until I move to newer software on the new machine, which could take a while, it will still be useful. I also currently use a Chromebook for all my internet activities and have had far fewer problems with it than I did using Windows anything! However, this new laptop will access the internet and that is particularly why I feel I'm ready for an upgrade. Good luck and Happy Holidays to all.

When I replace a computer it's because it NEEDS to be replaced, not waiting for a new version of anything.

I hate the fact that when going through your photos in Windows 11, there is no Thumbnail view.

[quote=Bison n Windows 10 verses Windows 11? Any insightful information and/or feedback on this subject would be greatly appreciated![/quote]
I "blundered" into Win 11 and strongly dislike it. Some so-called labor savings devices cause more trouble doing simple functions like copy and paste. I vote against Win 11 until an upgrade is forced upon a buyer.
