Last year, we published an interesting special where we focused on six myths about Windows 11 that we had to overcome once and for all, a topic that inspired Microsoft to post on its official blog, where they talk about this topic, focusing on five myths and misconceptions which generally pretty well cover some of the most important issues that many users have when considering upgrading to said operating system.

Microsoft opens its article on Windows 11 and cloud theme. According to the company, it is wrong to believe that it is necessary to bet on the cloud natively in order to jump to the mentioned operating system. It’s an option, but it’s by no means mandatory. The second myth is that moving from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is a big change, nothing could be further from the truth according to Microsoft, which points out that the transition is easy and thus full compatibility is maintained.

The idea of ​​compatibility brings us to the third of the myths surrounding Windows 11, risk Compatibility issues with certain apps. Microsoft assures that Windows 11 is built on the same pillars as Windows 10, that it has important advantages and that if we decide to update, we will not have compatibility problems with the applications we used with this operating system. Theoretical, 99.7% of requests Compatible with Windows 10 Works on Windows 10.

Jumping to the fourth myth, we find the problem of user experience and productivity. Microsoft denies that changes made at the interface level in this operating system can have a negative impact on productivity, which is half true, because in my case, when I upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10, it did. experience little loss in productivity until I got used to these interface level changes. It wasn’t serious and it didn’t last long, but it was real.

The fifth myth focuses more on companies and says that having several devices configured differently may increase the cost of ownership. Microsoft says this challenge was also present in Windows 10, and that ultimately there are ways to lower the cost of ownership depending on whether it’s new devices or existing devices. Ultimately, the Redmond giant says “we shouldn’t be afraid” of jumping to Windows 11.

Myths and Windows 11: my experience

The truth is that it took me quite a while to make the leap, but I have to admit that I’ve been using Windows 11 for a few months now and so far I didn’t have any problems. Performance is good as I said the OS is installed on a high end computer and it stays in good shape because I use it wisely and do basic maintenance at least once a month.

I am also cautious about updates both at the driver and operating system level. The only serious issue I’ve had with Windows 10 was with Windows Update not working, so I’ve learned the valuable lesson of putting off updates as long as possible, until I’m sure they won’t give me a headache.

So that a private user can switch to Windows 11 It shouldn’t be frustrating at all, if we have a computer that exceeds the minimum requirements. It is a more important decision for a company, or even for a professional must be considered very carefullybecause your work and your productivity will ultimately depend on this operating system.
