Seems they just copied windows 10X for windows 11 project Or maybe 10x was made for 11 but later cancelled to avoid people from suspecting another release.

coming to the design, I would prefer windows 10 over this. They should not change the placement of start button. People are used to it being on the left. This thing looks and feel crap. seems like they mix bred Chromeos and Windows 10 which led to the birth of this Sh*t

heres another walkthrough video.









But yes, one thing which they did good is they made new sounds for notifications, power on etc. like here



Also, It seems windows has deliberately leaked windows, as evident from the tweet which they did.

Why does windows 11 look like elementary os

elementary os got inspired from mac. Windows 11 is a mixture of macOS, chrome OS and win 10. It needs heavy improvement. Also they should make there installer integrated to OOBE imo as it has not been updated after win 7. Right now it is two step installer. A single step would be better and more time efficient.

If microsoft makes Unix shell native, would be my number 1 reason to upgrade.

I doubt they will do that. Until then you can use Msys.

These are the reasons why 99% people are hating win 11 including me.

It's expected.

Microsoft's trend with Windows releases is to release some bold new design, then take feedback and walk back on the design in the next release.

We have seen this happen with Vista and 7, then 8 and 10 be now it will happen with 11 and they will address the issues in 12 (or 11.1).

NGL, i liked windows 8 & vista more then win 11. Actually, win 11 is also not a big leap from win10 so it makes it look not too god.

windows 8 moved from aero to metro, win 11 still has metro apps and designs.

aren't they coming up with better OSs on every alternate update? in that sequence, 11 will be bad.

I tried installing it on VM Box, didn't work. Kept saying the PC doesn't meet minimum system requirements.

You mean Oracle VirtualBox or VMware?

If using Oracle virtualBox, what are the resources you allotted? I gave 3GB ram, 50GB storage, 4 cores, 256MB VRAM with 3d accl. enabled.

VMware

I was running it on dual core i5, so had only 2 cores to allot. I allocated 35 GB storage & 3.5 GB RAM. Vram was 128, I think.

Did you try enabling tpm or trusted platform from the bios? You may need to enabel it in vmware too.

This is perhaps a kind of teaser. Now that I have my hands set on Windows 10, I think I would hardly think of anything else.

Good god, what is wrong with Microsoft? Every release after Windows 7 has felt like two operating systems trying to fight each other for dominance, and Windows 10 makes that dichotomy even more obvious, but Windows 11 looks atrocious.

select the os type in virtual box to win 10 64 bit-this caused the aforesaid error to disappear when i installed it on virtualbox.

On selecting win 10, Virtual box enables TPM and maybe also Secure boot on its virtual BIOS.

Its unfortunate that M$ has officially declared TPM 2.0 as a requirement for installing win 11-many of the older computers that are perfectly capable of running the OS will be incompatible simply due to the fact that their BIOS chips don't support TPM.Even some 1st gen ryzen/intel 6th/7th gen systems dont support TPM.

People will find a workaround for sure. Just takes time..

The majority of user in the world.. don't understand technical improvement or performance improvement...

Generally people only see change when it's visible... Hence Microsoft is packing almost same goods in new package and color.. which makes people think it's a new thing..

I so not like lots of visual changes.. they should focus on less resources utilisattion based on usage, more security, more features etc...

Yup, totally agreed. This "Update" is just to bring freshness to a otherwise stagnated OS. I personally kinda like the UI changes, but think they should focus more on the aforementioned things too, as it's what separates a good OS from a good looking one.

My pc is not supported using i5 7500
Also the Lenovo laptop using i5 7400
Is there any possibility that windows 11 will be supported on lower end PC?

If microsoft makes Unix shell native, would be my number 1 reason to upgrade.
WSL2 is pretty great. A native unix compatible shell would probably need more than just adding a few commands though as under the hood Windows handles things quite a bit differently. Powershell does have a few commands that are unix compatible so I find myself using it more often than plain old cmd these days. chmod not working is a pain though. I have been seriously contemplating just fully switching to Linux but having an Nvidia GPU and still having reservations about game performance and also the fact that Game Pass wont work on Linux.

MS Edge is good with its extensions like that on Chrome & Firefox.
No need for other browsers nowadays.

how did you feel about it does it provide more fps in games than win 10?

They said so in their first key note before the release.
But I wanted and liked the Windows 7 style start menu but they omitted it and made it even worse from Windows 8.1 itself.
But there are 3rd party start menus though.

And they removed themes but can download from their site.
And widgets on the right.

These are my main issues about after 8.1.

I thought this version is faster than 10 as they said in their keynote.

They specifically said its made for gamers in mind. This caught my attention.

But now don't want to go back.

Still Win10 is good I think compared with Win11 regarding some changes they made.

Man
It's depressingly slow
My elder sisters daughter bought a Dell Laptop after the 1st Lockdown without an SSD and Windows 10 ran very slow and now Windows 11 opens after 5 minutes of Booting from bios to Windows screen.

So I ordered an Crucial BX500 2.5inch SSD and now she is very happy that it boots within 15seconds from bios to Windows screen.

I also felt very happy for her.
