Windows 11 is the most robust and simplified version yet. > > **Cons**: I don't like that when you do a fresh install it makes everything bright grey and has the task bar in the middle. > > I use it for productivity and gaming. Connectivity is excellent as can connect any of my devices easily. Bluetooth ones particularly were once a pain but now my system remembers them. Updates are frequent but not too so. ----- ### "Windows 11: A Powerful Upgrade for Productivity and Security" — 5.0/5 > **Bruno** | *4 August 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I had the opportunity to test the Windows 11 system as an IT Marketing Intern for Traveledex. The overall impression from the usage of the system is positive, and I appreciate the Modern User Interface, Better Performance, Enhanced Security, Improved Multitasking Technology, and other utilities. > > **Cons**: To begin with, I would like to note that Windows 11 has High Hardware Requirements. You are to be advised that the system demands more RAM and CPU power than the previous versions of Windows. Secondly, there is a Steep Learning Curve associated with the operation of the system. What is more, the Taskbar Customisation is limited compared to the older versions. Furthermore, Windows 11 may prove to be incompatible with Some Older Printers and Scanners, and other peripheral devices. In addition, there are Too Many Background Utilities, which makes the program run slower on older computers. > > As for my personal opinion on this operating system, it cannot be called anything but great. It has certainly helped our team to work with increased productivity, effective collaboration tools, and advanced content creation options. Thus, the product is worth choosing if you have a modern PC, and it is better to avoid it if you have a computer with older hardware. ----- ### "Post Oak Tech & Windows 11" — 5.0/5 > **Ruben** | *23 July 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is stable, more multitasking options such as widgets. It is visually appealing. Operating Systems seems to be more responsive with clear icons' display > > **Cons**: Legacy software does not work on it. Too many updates, many are forced regardless of computer settings. Center taskbar can be confusing for new/non-technical users. Some major updates need technical troubleshooting, not available for the common user. > > Overall seems to be stable, such as windows 10. I am hoping for a version that will not force so many disruptive updates. It creates frustration to the end user. ----- ### "Windows 11 Review" — 3.0/5 > **Leandro** | *16 December 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is the standard OS , I use it because everyone does .It is heavy on resources , but solid overall > > **Cons**: You have to be logged in to your Microsoft account in order to finish installing Windows 11 , really annoying > > It is solid .But it eats too much RAM .Also , you have to be logged in to your Microsoft account in order to finish installing Windows 11 , really annoying , you can hack that , but it's not ideal , I really didn't like that . ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1029729/windows-11?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1029729/windows-11) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
