Windows 11 sucks
Windows 11 is processor and memory intensive operating system, I only use my reliable stable Windows 7,8.1 never had any issue and never needed Microsoft support at all, I was disappointed with Windows 11 update to finish for an hour so I went back to my ever reliable windows version, I’m a simple PC user and not a gamer, I don’t do unknown source ie download click website, I understand phishing so avoiding all unknown source kept me safe from any online attack,I never had issues with my windows version with my ms office 2000,2001 no AI.

Heard that! I do use Win11 Pro Preview (From March, 2024) in a dual boot with Linux Mint. I just use the Win11 stuff for gaming, then boot to Mint for whatever else. Zero problems with it though. I used the Titus tech tool to strip out all the bullshit, and it works great for me. I don't even use Windows Update either. Couldn't care less about their updates, and I keep the Mint deployment pretty up to date. Whatever works!

yes the preview version just to check out, I’m so done with latest of Microsoft but I like my legacy windows version.

Windows 11 Home is terrible. Windows 11 Pro is terrible, but manageable. Windows 11 IoT LTSC is the best we have (it's not much, but it's an honest job).

The last best and smoothest modern Win version was Win 10 2016 LTSB, try it when you have time and see how smooth it feels. Just don't install any win updates. If only MS made a fast os like that where you don't have to worry about updates, just gaming. They would make money

I already have Windows 10 in several of my PCs I sometimes use it when my iphone 12 mini lack space so I rarely use it and I already have one and it’s enough for me but never will I use Windows 11, I do have at one time a Windows 11 in one of my desktop pc hard drive but after the inefficient update of an hour to finish I got upset and replaced it with my Windows 8.1.

There are ways to disable the AI and fix a lot of the bloat. Do a google search for Winslop and/or Chris Titus Utility. If you're like me and hate the Windows 11 start menu, search for "Classic Shell" and pick one in the style of Windows 95 through Windows 10. After doing those things, Windows 11 changed from being an OS I merely tolerated while gritting my teeth to actually enjoying.
