Windows 10 vs 11 | Features & Changes

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that this guy gave us 15 minutes of solid information, and how much work he must have put into this video (e.g. the self-made clips)?

2:02 Not being able to drag and drop files into programs on the task bar is completely absurd...

As a person with severe hearing loss and having to use headphones to interact with Windows, I have to thank you for presenting the differences in the Windows 11 sounds between light and dark mode, as well as comparing them to Windows 10. Most people would probably hear a negligible difference, but for someone like me, the dark mode sounds are virtually impossible to distinguish. I love using dark mode in Windows 10, and in fact the Windows 10 sounds in your comparison test were the most clear of all three to me. However, it looks like I will be having to stick with light mode when I upgrade to Windows 11 just to hear the stupid sounds! It sort of sucks that Microsoft doesn't accommodate people with hearing difficulties by simply keeping all volumes equal. Quite a bizarre feature, actually. Having said that, you really need to speak a bit slower and clearer. I had to slow the video down to 75% just to understand you. I needed the CC captions too. Other people have commented on this too, so just a heads up 🙂 You must have been excited to spread the news 😆 Thanks again anyway 🙏

Just stopping by to say the time and work you put into this video is incredible. Great work man.

Feels like they designed this for their Surface Pro in mind instead of the PC market.

Upgrading to Windows 11 feels more like changing the theme than upgrading the OS.

I spent years using windows 8.1. Windows 10 felt like a game changer. That Start Menu was the best one Windows had. It's the best suited for productivity so far. I hated the tiles of v8.1 but to combine them in the start menu is genius. Had to buy a new laptop which came with Windows 11. It's aesthetically nicer (although they really need to get rid of yellow folders and give an option to change folder colours once and for all to any colour of the spectrum we choose). The big problem is this start menu. I almost don't need to have one. Why did they downgrade the v10 start menu????

I got my first pre built pc and have been trying to slowly teach myself about the parts and programs im using. It is very rare to find someone who teaches in a simple format so thank you!

there's absolutely no reason why they would remove the detailed clock with seconds so why did they do that

So basically they removed countless features and smartphone-ized the UI… Got it.

In my opinion, just not being able to drag a file to an app or folder in the taskbar that is lower than W10 and also the impossibility of moving the taskbar to the top. You've done the work of presenting the operating system as Microsoft should. Thanks. W11 is best for me.

As someone who had a big, old, rather-budget laptop carry me through school and run Windows 10 for a good portion of it, getting a small, sleeker laptop with Windows 11 running natively was a welcome experience in my case. Sure, minor inconveniences such as having use the "show more options" button when right clicking in file explorer and the more limited customization of the task bar could be considered drawbacks, but the streamlined experience provided by 11's commitment to thematic congruency and more elegant control scheme make general use so much more pleasant. Windows 10 really felt clunky for me, which made day-to-day use that much less appealing by comparison, and its inconsistent look was pretty headache-inducing looking back. I have to give it to 11: I didn't think the aesthetics of the UI would affect my mood while using the OS as much as it did. While I never wanted to use macOS as I really hated its feel, there's no denying that it was leagues above windows 10's interface visually. Windows 11 feels like it gives me the user-friendliness macOS has whilst still being good ol' Windows. More hands-on users who wouldn't categorize themselves as the "average consumer" might feel differently, however.

UI design is literally altering between sharp and round corners every few years. Huge shoutout for the effort put into the video.

There was literally no reason to get rid of any of the features found in Windows 10 except for Cortana lol. I'm not upgrading.

5:22 That legit made me check for a notification on the windows 10 sound 💀

You just made my day. Being an older model, I was really worried about going from Win10 to Win11 but I can definitely deal with the changes. Thank you!

Anyone else remember when they said Windows 10 would be the last dedicated version of Windows? Why couldn't they just make Win11 an optional theme for Win10?

It's really strange that Windows has defined a number of things that make their OSs really nice to use, then every single new release they try to remove it. Windows 10 wasn't perfect, but removing options from it wouldn't be the direction I would go with it...

This video really helped me! Thanks for making it!

i will NEVER understand why features are removed when they arent causing problems, like taskbar size management or media previews for folders. its disgusting.
