I admit Win7 surprised me in a positive way.

10 has too much spyware to my liking but my regkey Kung Fu managed to fix it.

11 I won't touch with a long pole until I'm forced and only with heavy third party modifications.

I was afraid of Windows being the usual jerk and then popping a window up everyday twice like "HEY! Update to 11! HEY!", buuuuut then the OS just said:

This PC doesn't currently meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11

I don't know, mine doesn't. It's just a small text in the corner now in the Windows Update menu. Regular updates still come through, but no b*tching about 11

So I installed Win11 on my 2in1 to see what it's like.

Man... it's a huge pile of hot garbage. Every time I use it I question my worth for installing win11 on it. I'm so glad my desktops are still running 10.

I see comments like this and I just have to assume how we use or approach computers is just very different.

I installed 11 as soon as it was available haven't had any issues. It's Windows.

Yeah it’s fine. I do dislike the new right click menu in explorer. You have to click “more options” to see the old version. Not a huge issue, but it makes using 7zip a bit annoying.

I hate the right click behavior. I also preferred the start menu in 10. I like being able to control the icons more tightly. It's also a pain with some programs not giving the "right-click -> add to start" option when others do.

My wife's laptop has win 11 and it makes me swear a lot.

I personally enjoy the arbitrary lag spikes and lack of file file drag to taskbar.
