It is visually appealing. Operating Systems seems to be more responsive with clear icons' display > > **Cons**: Legacy software does not work on it. Too many updates, many are forced regardless of computer settings. Center taskbar can be confusing for new/non-technical users. Some major updates need technical troubleshooting, not available for the common user. > > Overall seems to be stable, such as windows 10. I am hoping for a version that will not force so many disruptive updates. It creates frustration to the end user. ----- ### "Windows 11 Review" — 3.0/5 > **Leandro** | *16 December 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is the standard OS , I use it because everyone does .It is heavy on resources , but solid overall > > **Cons**: You have to be logged in to your Microsoft account in order to finish installing Windows 11 , really annoying > > It is solid .But it eats too much RAM .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 . ----- ### "Great user interface that is easy to use once u get the hang of it" — 5.0/5 > **Janet** | *21 April 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the ease of use and the security features.
