    For the most part there is practically no difference between 10 and 11 minus changes in UI and higher HW requirements. If someone liked 10, do not see why 11 would be different. Same in theory could be said about 8.1 and 10. Most of the UI changes are better IMO, but there are some annoyances mainly related to taskbar.

    I believe the only thing that many could dislike and have impact on daily work, would be the new context menu. It can be swapped to old one, but as of now there is no easy setting / toggle for that.

      There's even more telemetry and built in ads with Win11 over Win10. If they're so similar otherwise, why would anyone upgrade to Win11?

        1. I like newest OS versions. Visually I do like it better as well. Kind of wish I could get back rectangular design though, not a fan of rounded corners, but that is very minor thing. When I say nothing much has changed, I mean the backend, backwards compatibility. Everything you know about Windows since 8.1 still applies + some additional features, improvements.
        2. Do not have ads. Maybe because I am in Europe or maybe because I have Education (Same as Pro Enterprise) license or because I am using local and not MS account.
        3. Do not care about telemetry. Have disabled most "personalization" things. I am fine with MS collecting random basic telemetry like HW inventory / SW crashes or whatever they collect.

          Education edition is the best edition. It does not have ads, which is not true of Pro.

            Made a mistake about comparison. Education is comparable to Enterprise and not Pro. Have experience only for these 2 editions so no idea what's the situation with Home and Pro and if there really are ads that cannot be disabled.
