The hurdles for switching to Windows 11 are high, especially due to the high and sometimes not always completely understandable hardware requirements, which is one of the reasons why more than 56 percent of ComputerBase readers do not plan to switch to the new one for the time being To switch operating system. One topic: processor compatibility.
As part of a survey, the editors wanted to know from ComputerBase readers: “Do you already use Windows 11?” . The picture is divided into two parts, although more readers distance themselves. While around 15 percent of the more than 2,400 readers who took part in the survey have been using Microsoft's new operating system since the first Windows 11 Insider Preview, around 57 percent are still ruling out a change to the operating system to the new Windows 11 for the time being.

The system requirements of Windows 11 with TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot as well as the CPU generations supported by Windows 11 were in focus from the beginning and in the course of the development of the operating system and caused uncertainty among many users. A not insignificant number of the readers who took part in one of the last surveys simply have an incompatible processor. Overall, the share is over 30 percent. Windows 11 can be installed on such systems, but the user loses all support and warranty claims.

A selection of topics over the last few days and weeks, in which the editors have repeatedly tried to make the switch to Windows 11 as easy as possible for readers with videos and instructions – if so desired – clearly show that an update from Windows is necessary 10 on Windows 11 can sometimes be rocket science. This is probably one of the reasons why many readers do not do this for the time being.
- Update instructions: Microsoft shows Windows 11 -Setup on incompatible PCs
- Up to 15 percent: AMD performance loss under Windows 11 confirmed
- Windows 11 & amp; 10: Benchmarks for VBS performance loss including HVCI
- Windows 11 benchmarks: Gaming and application performance with Ryzen and Core
- Windows 11: This is how TPM 2.0 is set in the BIOS AMD and Intel PCs activated
The editors would be happy to hear from the readers in the comments how their interim conclusion on Windows 11 fails to start. Why did you switch or why do you still forego switching?
