Ever since Microsoft announced that it would end support for Windows 10 in October, the company has been trying hard to convince users to make the switch to Windows 11. First, it warned that unsupported Windows 10 PCs will no longer receive security updates, making them easy targets for hackers. Later, it advised users to trade in their old computers and buy a new one that comes preloaded with all the Windows 11 goodies.

Now, once again, Microsoft’s Executive Vice President and Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, Yusuf Mehdi, has published a fresh blog highlighting all the benefits and advantages of Windows 11, including a statement claiming that Windows 11 PCs are up to 2.3 times faster than Windows 10 PCs. However, what they failed to make clear is that this claim is entirely based on a comparison of new versus old hardware, rather than the software itself.

    It’s almost like it’s a crap OS that even requires a friggin’ DRM chip to be enabled, with AI shit foisted on users.

    My dad misunderstood when I said we were forced to replace our computers with win11 at work as “I updated my.computer to win11”, so he followed suit, and his peripherals don’t work right, his graphics drivers wouldn’t play nice, etc. Idiotic problems that don’t exist with 10.
