Question Is win11 slower than win10?

[mikehende]

So we are trying Win11 on my son's newer pc but he says it's slower than win 10 therefore we may revert back to win10. I told him to give it a couple days but even during installation I could tell it took longer than a normal win10 install will take. Anyone tried win11 with different results please?

Update your post to include full newer pc hardware specs.

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

= = = =

The first thing to look at is what all is being loaded when the newer pc is booted.

Likely to be a lot of "extras" (aka crapware etc.) that are taking up system resources.

Look in Task Manager > Startup.

= = = =

Be aware that Windows or other apps may be trying to update, backup, or simply phone home.

Look in Resource Manager to learn what all is running once the system is booted.

= = = =

Check the POST configuration. Learn what the system is doing or trying to do during boot up.

You may be able to reduce the time there by making POST less verbose.

If the computer has an AMD processor, there's a known bug that causes worse performance. There's a fix coming out soon supposedly.

but he says it's slower than win 10

The only thing that counts is actual numbers.

And as above, if this is an AMD system, that may be the issue.

Actually, the next day my son said win 11 works now even faster than win 10! I tried it myself and yes its very fast.
