    I swear to god, every time I encounter a straggler machine that never upgraded from Win10 to Win11 - it runs faster and more stable than newer and beefier PCs with 11. Insane.

    Don’t even get me started on making 4GB of RAM perfectly usable just by installing Mint XFCE. Switch to Linux wherever you possibly can.

      Even when 11 came out, it was a decent bit heavier. I did back to back Geekbench runs on 10 and 11. 10 was a decent bit faster. 11 used a gb more ram too.

      My decade old desktop at home falls under that, and indeed runs snappier than the beast of a laptop I got from work.

        Depending on the type of company you work at, your work laptop will be on a spectrum of “locked down” which will often include a stack of mandatory security software that sometimes doesn’t even play nice with each other. It’s a mess.

        I’ve seen a corpo run a new business fleet (2nd Gen Intel Ultras) that takes 10-15 minutes to become usable after logging in at a fresh boot.

          We have first gen core ultra laptops. They only use defender for security but holy fuck they are slow. Like my 11th gen i7 laptop updates faster I feel.
