Who would have thought that an operating system with crazy minimum system requirements and no meaningful improvements for the average user wouldn't be a popular choice.
- Cyberdog 4y agoWill anyone at MS learn a lesson from this and stop taking their OS development in directions the user doesn't want it to go? Or is that just crazy talk?
- eric__cartman 4y agoThey know most users don't have a choice and will upgrade when their current OS goes EOL or they buy a new computer. If it were for me I would have kept the Windows 7 shell and upgraded the operating system under the hood. Why change someone's workflow with a worse version of what you previously had. Like the awful search in Windows 10 that looks stuff up in Bing before searching the hard drive. Who thought that was a good idea? IT WORKED JUST FINE IN WINDOWS 7.
- TillE 4y agoThe official minimum requirements are just bizarre, because they're only enforced at installation. Windows 11 runs just fine on Skylake processors. Yes, older CPUs don't have certain security features. That's unfortunate, but it's not like running Windows 10 is more secure for them. Just turn those features off when they're not supported.
