And then there's 11 which doesn't really feel like a new version at all to me.

I use 10 at work and 11 at home and after changing the taskbar settings to put the start button back on the left I don't even notice switching.

That's because it isn't, Windows 10 and 11 both identify internally as NT10.0.

For some context: Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 identified as NT6.0, 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 respectively; Windows 2000 and XP identified as NT5.0 and 5.1 respectively.


For all the rightful hate 11 gets for ads and tracking crap, once you turn it off it feels... fine. I even don't mind the UI look and really like the new window management, but I don't use windows for anything serious anymore, only gaming so maybe there are other issues.


You can't turn off the tracking crap, this is really the biggest problem IMO.

Same here by the way, I don't use it for anything but gaming and work for the tracking reason.
