I agree. That's why some people are still running Windows 7 even though their computer can run Windows 10.

Thing is, Windows 11 is really no different to Windows 10 except for this SSD bug.
Windows 11 really is different then Windows 10, regardless of the SSD bug.

I don't think that video supports your previous statement. I only watched up to the 24 second mark, where it siad that the video would cover the main differences between Windows 10 and 11.

I don't know about that. Admittedly, I do very little with Windows, but Windows 11 seems to have more unwanted ads and definitely defaults to more AI crap than Windows 10.

I have no ads in Windows 11. The biggest difference is the hardware requirements of Windows 11.

Ads? From an operating system? Is this true?

I am totally Linux myself, but if Windows has dropped to the point where the OS is actually presenting ads, I would not recommend that OS to anyone. Are you sure it's the OS that is throwing ads at you? Or is it just third party some application/website that is running on top of the OS?

I haven't seen any ads, but then I use a patch that enables the Windows 10 start menu, which was head and shoulders above that of Windows 11. Same for the taskbar.

Win10 also has ads, but it depends on the version.

There's no advertisement on EU Windows, but US apparently has them.

Supposed hardware requirements... Touted secure boot requirement is not needed at all. You can disable it with by installing windows with an official boot disk create with Rufus:

Maybe wrong in your case, but not wrong for everyone. I have personally seen these ads that "don't exist."

Maybe, there's a way to block them. I don't know. I also know that now, when you do Menu search, instead of looking through your applications, Windows 11 opens up a website in Edge (even when Edge is not your default browser).
