Windows 11 vs Windows 10

Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10, encouraging users to upgrade to Windows 11, which features improved multitasking, AI integration, and a refined interface. Windows 11 requires a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 chip and at least an Intel 8th-generation or AMD Ryzen 2000 series processor, meaning many older PCs will not receive security updates after October 14, 2025. The new interface utilizes the Fluent Design System and Mica, which adjusts window colors based on wallpaper. Windows 11 introduces Snap Layouts and Snap Groups for better window management, and replaces Cortana with Copilot, an AI assistant that enhances user interaction. Gaming features include Auto HDR and DirectStorage for improved performance. Microsoft is making adjustments based on user feedback, such as reinstating the search bar and making Recall an opt-in feature.
