“The centered taskbar and rounded corners might seem like small visual tweaks, but they make the whole interface feel much less cluttered and more like a premium workspace.”

Cons
“Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 which renders older PC's unable to upgrade, and since Microsoft is pulling support for Windows 10, it will turn these machines into e-waste.”

“Start menu is worst, taskbar lost a ton of functions that only now (slowly) they add back, right click menu is nice but need to be customizable, printer dialog is bad (in some instances I can't even open printer properties).”

“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 .”
