Windows 11 has been around for a long time, but Microsoft still Has not completed payment of many outstanding bills, not even a really interesting alternative for those using Windows 10, an operating system that also didn’t start well but ended up being one of the best versions of Windows Microsoft released.

The truth is that the image that has been generated around Windows 11 is not good, although to be honest in this case it is not just an image. said operating system drag and drop issues which are still not resolved and in certain respects it is clearly worse than Windows 10. If we add to that the controversial issue of updateswhich still come full of bugs, we have a fairly clear picture that paints us in detail some of the most important flaws of Windows 11.

In my case, I’m running Windows 11 on my test bench and laptop, but I have Windows 10 on my PC and I’m not planning to upgrade in the short or medium term. I upgraded to Windows 11 on my laptop because I wanted to test this operating system in a more personal and intensive way, and the truth is that I did not like it.

Even after using Windows 11 on the test bench for so long, I still haven’t fully gotten used to this operating system. Some may think it’s because I haven’t made the full leap into said OS, and you may be partially right, but it is I feel much more comfortable using Windows 10, and given the number of hours I spend in front of my PC every day, it’s not worth it for me to face the Windows 11 upgrade right now.

I’m not ruling out an upgrade in the future, in fact it’s clear that eventually I’ll have to jump ship and leave Windows 10, but I’m in no rush and seeing the information that’s been circulating for months about maybe Windows 12, who knowsI ended up going straight to this oneeverything will depend on the current reality, the state in which Windows 11 is and what Windows 12 offers. The truth is that the first rumors are interesting because they place them as smart operating system That will be a big step forward.

I know many of you are questioning whether it’s really worth it to upgrade to Windows 11, especially now that it has received several updates and is theoretically in a more mature state. In this article I will give you six very clear reasons why it is better to stay with Windows 10and no, I’m not going to focus on giving you my personal vision of Windows 11, but rather all the reasons we will see come from a completely objective basisand do not express an opinion.

1.-Windows 10 works better than Windows 11 with less powerful hardware

It is a fact that Windows 10 is a very complete and perfectly functional operating system and also that it is much less demanding than Windows 11 at the hardware level. This is clear from the moment we see the minimum requirements for each of these two operating systems, but it is the case that even if we use them on computers that exceed these minimum requirements the difference in performance is large.

For example, a PC configured with 4 GB of RAM and a CPU with two cores and four threads is offered pretty good user experience with Windows 10but we can’t say the same if we install Windows 11, because once the system starts, almost all the RAM is occupied and the performance is quite weak.

It is a fact that Windows 11 does not work well with 4 GB of RAM, but even if we use Windows 11 on a computer configured with 8 GB of RAM, which is twice the minimum requirements, the experience will not be either. completely satisfactory and the result it will only really be acceptable for basic usage scenarios and minimal multitasking.

Be clear, Windows 11 is more demanding than Windows 10 on a hardware level and it works worse with configurations in which the other usually moves quite well. If you have a modest computer, do not hesitate, it is better to stay on Windows 11. If you have a powerful computer and are thinking about jumping to the mentioned operating system, read on because you have reasons to think about it a little more.

2.-Windows 11 still has performance issues

This is also a proven fact. A few years ago, a major issue was confirmed that slowed down the performance of Ryzen processors in Windows 11, and over time we have seen other similar issues that again slowed down the performance of AMD Ryzen processors, namely also affected other important componentslike a graphics card.

Microsoft failed to create a script of trust this encourages users to make the jump to Windows 11, and this is especially serious if we are talking about those who use AMD Ryzen processor, since they were the most affected by these performance problems and these problems have been repeated for more than one occasion.

Having a powerful processor that far exceeds the requirements of Windows 11, as well as the requirements of the games and applications we use, is not a dish of good taste.or he develops his full potential and serves less than he should because Windows 11 has issues that should be fully resolved by now. To this we must add that even though it seemed that they were already overcome, these problems have returned.

The key is in the end that situation of uncertainty that it continues to generate Windows 11, especially with certain components, and that fortunately we will not find ourselves in Windows 10. This is not to say that the operating system is perfect and without errors, but it is true that it does not give all the problems that we see in Windows 11.

3.-The Windows 11 interface can be improved and has significant flaws

This is one of the things that set me back the most during my Windows 11 adventures, and it’s an objective fact because it’s backed up by other media reviews and because doing things as simple as creating a new folder it’s more complicated and takes more time in Windows 11 than in Windows 10.

The Windows 11 interface is less intuitive, The start menu is clearly worseboth in design and functionality, and Microsoft introduced changes that meant that ultimately simple and very basic things that we could do with a few simple clicks in Windows 10 now require more steps, in some cases can frustrate the user with less experience.

In this sense, I want to share with you something very curious, that during her first interaction with Windows 11, a friend had to call me because I could not find the key to create the folder, because right-clicking didn’t directly show the “New > Folder” option. This is further evidence of the mistakes Microsoft made with the Windows 11 interface.

Remember that each user is ultimately the world, and that Not everyone has the same level and is not able to assimilate and adapt in the same way to the new interface. This can be further complicated when the interface that connects the new operating system is not intuitive at all, as is the case with Windows 11.

4.-Windows 10 is a more reliable and advanced operating system

I have already said that the beginnings of Windows 10 were not easy, in fact when it debuted it was quite criticized, it was dragged into the controversy about “forced” free updates from Microsoft and in general users they felt that Windows 7 was still the winning horseprecisely for its maturity and stability.

The fact is that Microsoft has released a number of updates over the years significantly improves Windows 10both in terms of interface, features, security and stability, and ended up creating one of the best operating systems the company has released so far, and it remains one of the best options available today.

Windows 10 is more stable, more mature, less buggy, and has a more reasonable streak when it comes to update crashes. On the other hand, it is also an operating system that gets along well with older hardware and can work optimally with configurations that are not compatible with Windows 11.

I could give many examples. Imagine you have a computer equipped with a Ryzen 7 1700, an 8-core and 16-thread processor, 16 GB of RAM and an SSD. ANDThis computer is not compatible with Windows 11, and you could have performance and stability issues if you force install said OS, which wouldn’t happen with Windows 10 where you’d have full support and overall stability.

5.-With Windows 10 we will have support until 2025

This point is also important, that Windows 10 is still guaranteed more than two years of support, which means that you should not rush to upgrade to Windows 11. This operating system will receive its latest updates for October 2025, and from the said date it will be completely abandoned.

If you are still using Windows 10 after this end of support date You won’t have any problems in the short term and most likely not in the medium term either.although eventually you’ll be advised to start thinking about upgrading to a more modern operating system that will continue to receive security-level support and updates, as security holes and issues accumulate in Windows 10 over time rather than being resolved.

With that in mind, it’s not a bad idea to wait another year or two for Windows 11 to mature. This can save us a lot of trouble and allow us to enjoy the mentioned operating system on a different level if Microsoft do your homework and polish it properly during that time period.

Windows 10 will continue to receive important updates and offers a very complete set of advanced features, so you generally have nothing to worry about if you decide to rush to the end of its life. Remember it now almost all the key features of Windows 11 are also present in Windows 10.

6.-Windows 11 receives problematic updates

And that is something that will not change in the short or medium term. When we look at the history of updates that Windows 11 has received, we realize this problems were practically constant, and that Microsoft tends to end up releasing updates that don’t seem to have gone through a rigorous enough testing process.

Eventually he does the end user becomes more of a “beta tester”and that in some cases there are crashes and serious errors that end up recommending Microsoft to uninstall a particular update. I know that this is nothing new and that it also happened with Windows 10, but right now the situation with the said operating system has improved significantly, and Windows 11 has become a big pending account of Microsoft.

Those of you who read us daily know this after all Microsoft generally has to deal with Windows updates, but right now Windows 11 takes the cake in this regard, and it’s better to wait until the situation improves, especially if you use computers with components that, despite the support of the term “up-to-date”, do not fit.

On the other hand, I remind you of the usual advice, whether you are using Windows 10 or Windows 11, Don’t be the first to install Windows updatesput them off until you see what results they generally give, and value the opinions of users to see if they actually arrived in acceptable condition or if the opposite happened.
