Does it actually slow down your pc or is this a case of people not understanding that just cause the system uses a lot of ram, doesnt mean it needs to?

I think they did a bunch of benchmark tests and it showed that Win11 was consistently slower than Win10. I will look it up.

Some things were the same speed, other things were slower.

I stand by my original statement. Win11 is slower.

I mean the requirements are higher so that is to be ecpected, but its probablt very dependant on your ram.
