I would highly appreciate a dedicated “New Folder” button on Ribbon as it was with Windows 10. I also would like to get dedicated copy, cut, paste items on context menu -instead of just icons. More on reddit.com

Yes. That is also how it worked under Windows 10. If you were running Windows 10 from the beginning you would have upgraded to a new build around a dozen times. You do not need to install each successive version, typically you can go from the oldest right to the newest. Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 get 2 years of support for each build, Enterprise and Education get a third year. More on reddit.com

Huh, strange answers in this post. The top comment is just saying how nice and bug-free W11 is for their past few days of usage. That's...nice, but could be more constructive.

I'm gonna assume you're on W10, and not something earlier like 7/Vista/XP/ME.

If you actually are on an earlier version of windows, unless there's some reason, like say, a grandmother who'll throw a positively ballistic fit if you take away her XP, then you should upgrade solely for the updates alone.

For the majority of people on W10, there's not really any major reason to update. Aesthetics are slightly refreshed, some minor under-the-hood tweaks etc.

If you're getting new hardware, there's some advantages to running W11 with certain current-gen Intel CPUs, but it's not on the level of say, upgrading from an HDD to SSD for example. You definitely should get the latest version of OS for a new machine anyway, but most people thinking of upgrading probably aren't getting a new machine.

And if W10 works fine for you, there's honestly no real reason to update. Yes, it's definitely some once-off work if you like your right-click context menus back (and I do), and all the telemetry & hodge-podge menu design is still there. Still, once you fire up Chrome/Firefox/Office/Blender/any game/any program, you're probably gonna have the exact same experience whether on W10 or W11.

tl:dr No reason for W10 users, update please if you're on an earlier version of Windows, no reason to avoid W11 either.

It's not terrible. But at the end of the day compared to Win 10 it's still zero advantages standing against a couple of disadvantages. So I don't see any reason to upgrade. More on reddit.com
