I get that a lot of people hate windows 10 for various reasons and such. But so many people have come here and said they have 0 issues with the OS and a lot of issues have been coming down to hardware/compatibility issues more so than the actual OS itself.

I feel like this sub descends more and more into a rant sub than an actual tech support sub. Almost daily there is a "i dont like windows 10" or a "this is why windows 10 sucks" post reaching the front page and its incredibly crap to see such behavior being up voted.

(Had to repost because the bot broke and wasn't re-approving the post, forgot to flair originally and waited 10 minutes but it didn't re approve.)

Edit: A )

Edit 2: Okay i went afk for a few hours (errands squidward) and came back to a lot of responses. I think i fucked up my post a bit so let me clarify some more.

Im basically cool with how the sub is meant to be about windows 10 in general. however the tech support/rant posts are OUTWEIGHING actual quality posts that promote proper discussion about windows 10. /u/CommodoreC64 pretty much summed it up. There needs to be more news/critical discussion on the subreddit. Not an eternal rant center for everyone to bitch and cry about.

It just makes it harder for us tech support people to fix your computer because you'll probably have no clue what caused these issues. There are better, official ways built-in right in into Windows that you can use to make your computer run better, or how you want. I don't care if these third-party "debloat" program are "open source", that doesn't mean it won't break your computer now, or in the future.

Want to know a secret? You can use your computer exactly how it is without doing anything. Don't let anyone pressure you into doing all this for what, a little less RAM or CPU usage? Yes, I know. Microsoft doesn't really make some things easy, but if you take a few moments and do things the official way, it'll pay off. I promise.

Uninstall apps you never use through Settings. If you find an app you can't uninstall, it's fine. Leaving it installed isn't going to hurt anything. Also, turn off any apps you don't want starting up with Windows. This can improve performance a lot. Check the app's settings to see if it runs in the background, and turn that off too if you want.

If you want more control over your computer, set up it using the "Ireland" region. You can change it right back after you reach the desktop. It allows additional options that are required in the EU, like being able to disable web results in the start menu. More info about this here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/1lz6qcc/how_to_improve_windows_11_in_an_officially/

TL;DR: To improve performance safely, uninstall apps you don't use and turn off apps from startup in Settings. If you want more control, set up your computer using the "Ireland" region (see link).

So I like windows 10 a lot and I'm not sure if I'm ready to move onto windows 11.

I'm planning on reinstalling windows anyways to make sure I don't have any bloatware.

I'm wondering if you guys reinstall windows 10 on your devices that come with windows 11 preinstalled.

Windows 11 is sincerely turning into hot garbage! I have tried and given it a try too many times. It actually works as expected, but the problem is the very sluggish performance, especially running on the battery. It really amazes me that Microsoft just placed a skin on top of Win 10 and called it a release. I just went back to Win 10 after a struggle for a year running Win 11 and I was surprised how snappy and refreshing my PC feels again. I almost didn't believe it, also, while running only on battery.

I now see why Win 10 still holds 69% of the market share as of now. I really hope that Win 12 will be different.

Edit: The laptop is a bit older, but I have Win 11 running daily on an unsupported i3 4th gen with less problems. I have done tests with both battery and connected to the charger. Laptop HP Pavilion Gaming 15 2018, i7-8750h, 16GB RAM, 1TB NVME, UHD Graphics 630 & discrete GTX 1060 Max-q.

I know it doesn't support gaming or Adobe software but as Windows user I can't play games on windows as well. Most of games just crash or Windows just stop working and I don't have money for paid software to use. I just watch Netflix, YouTube or play NFSHP2 game.

Also, I want to learn Linux Operating System.

I keep seeing articles pop up about what to do when Windows 10 hits EOL. It's all fear based like the second coming of Y2K. The computer is not going to stop working or blow up. Will it get new updates..nope but new updates also half the time introduce new issue that has to be patched in the next update. Unless you have no common sense online the computer will not suddenly be exposed to virus and hacks...(Do people even use the built in anti virus?)

People stayed with Windows XP and Windows 7 till a good Windows came out. Not a fan of Windows 11 reminds me of Windows ME making stuff harder to do, instead of easier.
