Question for those who know more than me: how much is different 11 from 10, obviously excluding the desktop theme? I imagine very little but I'm curious.
It's like a modern version of the worst parts of Vista.
The UI is a clunky mess. I had to spend a week to make it about usable. Every menu is now a submenu of a new new menu, so you often have to click 3-4 times for stuff you'd have in a top-level right click menu not so long ago. Now they've been doing that for a while now, so some settings are getting quite deep at this point. The whole thing feels unresponsive and sluggish.
The main difference is that it requires TPM 2.0, which allows applications to run in a fully encrypted mode and prevent user tampering.
Oh no! Not the user tampering! 😱
Ostensibly it's to protect things like credit card information. In reality it's to make sure Microsoft has more control over your computer than you do.
I mean, for most users there's not much meaningful difference between OS's other than the UI, especially when comparing iterations of the same OS
