Nobody asked for this.The big picture: Windows 11 has been known for its onerous system requirements since before it launched. I’m looking forward to see how quickly they push Windows 12 out the door in an attempt to save themselves but they’re gonna need to strip back a lot of crap starting with their mentality and honestly stop fooling around with the taskbar and shell so much to point of making it worse. The OS is not fluid at all and often less user friendly than Windows 7. The truth is they are both a mashup of various ideas that simply do not work well together. We use Windows 10 because it is the lesser evil and all the previous version’s of windows are vastly outdated. Vista could have been turned around but they put zero effort into fixing that OS but I guess it was a moot point because Windows 7 would have steam rolled it anyway which arguably was the fix.

I am surprised Microsoft thought they could pull a stunt like this and get away with it. The marketing was trash and the overall sentiment and reviews towards it are mostly negative. Feature updates, released once a year, are the next best thing, and it remains to be seen if the release of the first feature update for Windows 11 is giving adoption a much needed boost.Īll things being equal I feel as though the market penetration hasn’t taken off with devices such as laptops selling less due to financial strains and global slowdowns however taking that into account Windows 11 was Dead On Arrival. Nowadays, Microsoft does not release service packs anymore. Many system administrators waited for the release of the first service pack before considering upgrading to a new version of Windows. Historically, organizations have been slow at upgrading systems to new versions of Windows. Windows 11 is trailing Windows 7's 3.38%, and far away from the commanding 81.87% of Windows 10. That's just 1.09% more than that of devices running Windows 8 and 1.32% more than devices running Windows XP.

The adoption rate of Windows 11 was just 2.61% across all 30 million scanned devices. Lansweeper notes that passthroughs exist for TPM, but that these are rarely configured. CPU compatibility sits at 55.7% while RAM and TPM drop to 67.1% and 1.33% respectively. Compatibility drops even further for virtual machine workstations.
