Windows 10 vs Windows 11

[Mando772004]

is windows 10 worth downloading over 11? im asking for testing purposes only, i know that generally it probably would be better to have windows 11 but lets say for testing purposes would windows 10 still be sufficient for games and whatnot

Id just get 11 its alright and in a year 10 dies so game support drops quickly not worth the hassle gettin 10 now only to upgrade later soon

For testing purposes, yes. Especially if you are testing an older system that doesn't support TPM 2.0, Win10 is your only option if you don't want to deal with Linux.

I wouldn't daily drive it though.

yes that is a good point, but i think ill only try it for testing purposes as im having some issues on win 11 so i wanna isolate windows being the issue, specifically windows 11

Windows 10 gets official public support until October 2025.

 

Windows 11 is basically just Windows 10 with a new coat of paint.

 

Either one is perfectly fine.

Doesn't win11 have various features that makes the most recent hardware more efficient? like the intel's E cores?

It has a scheduler that understands e cores. Efficiency wise its a tiny bit better but not by much since the scheduler is still tossing most things to the p cores

Huh. Well, I haven't yet made installation media for Win11 yet, only for older versions of windows and some Linux distros.

Thanks for the tip!
