Microsoft hasn't yet found the magic formula to make you love Windows 11. Its latest attempt? A list of tips that falls flat. Between gimmicky features and forgotten arguments, the giant seems to have lost the key of success.
Despite persistent reminders and very persuasive notifications to upgrade to Windows 11, Windows 10 users are resisting. To convince them, Microsoft released an article called " 7 tips to get the most out of Windows 11. Problem: the arguments put forward are quite shaky, if not downright counterproductive.
The document, published on the Learning Center portal, resembles a desperate checklist. Between the "customizable" Start Menu (but not too much) and the snap layouts (useful for 3 people), Microsoft is missing the real reasons to migrate. Worse, the company is breaking down open doors... already present in Windows 10.
"Tips" that smell of pine
First tip: customize your Start menu. Except that... the options are limited. It's impossible to remove the Recommendations section, for example. Microsoft promises an upcoming redesign, but in the meantime, the argument is making people grind their teeth.
Second pitch: snap layouts, to organize your windows like a puzzle. Nice, but reserved for XXL screens or compulsive multitaskers. Third idea: virtual desktops, to separate your professional and personal life. A practical concept... if you don't already use a second screen or... your smartphone.
What's next? Widgets (which no one cares about), focus sessions (aka "turn off TikTok"), and dark mode (already available on Windows 10). The icing on the cake: Windows Hello, which has been present on the old OS for years.
And the real reasons to upgrade to Windows 11?
Yet, there are solid arguments. Enhanced security, optimized performance, or gaming features like Auto HDR and DirectStorage (to load games in 2 seconds). Not to mention accessibility. improved or integrated AI (even if Copilot+ remains limited).
Microsoft clearly prefers to boast about gadgets rather than highlight its strengths. Result: the article is really not very convincing. Users, for their part, mainly remember that Windows 10 reaches the end of its life in October 2025. Some are even considering paying to extend support until 2026... rather than taking the plunge.
