I've always felt like Windows 11 has an acquired taste, mostly due to the (initially) lackluster feature parity with its predecessors. Last year, Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 10, nudging users toward Windows 11 if they want to continue receiving critical updates and security patches.
Until recently, Microsoft struggled to grow Windows 11’s market share. While it’s not set in stone that the operating system’s strict hardware requirements and some of its more questionable design choices were the main drivers of relatively sluggish adoption, it’s difficult to dismiss their impact altogether.
