Given that Windows 10 was already pretty polished when it launched, and only got better over time, why the need for a whole new version?Īfter testing early builds for months, as well as the shipping release this past week (here's how to nab it yourself), it's clear that Microsoft isn't actually trying to fix much with Windows 11. Before that, Windows 7 was meant as a palate cleanser to help us forget about the bloated mess that was Vista. What's the point of Windows 11? With Windows 10, Microsoft had to make a big course correction from Windows 8, an ambitious yet flawed attempt at bringing PCs into the touchscreen era.
