In a nutshell, when you upgrade from Windows 10 to 11, you don’t gain much in terms of functionality or new features, but you lose a great deal. If you’re interested in learning more about the common problems with Windows 11, keep on reading.

One of the most obvious comparison points when looking simultaneously at both Windows 10 and Windows 11 is the installation process. Surprisingly, the time it took to complete both installations was almost identical

1. Installation Process

Contrary to expectations, the process counts when installing the new OS have not been cleaned up. As a result, during a fresh installation of Windows 11, the process count stood at 136, while the earlier version of the Microsoft operating system regularly provided between 111 and 116 processes.

Windows 11 seems to cache nearly twice as much memory space as Windows 10 when installing the stock settings. As a result, the latest version of Windows requires more resources than its predecessor in order to do the same task.

2. Memory

Regarding the File Explorer, Windows 10 occupied 22.9 GB of space, whereas Windows 11 utilized 19.9 GB, making the newest OS lighter in terms of space it requires.
