Despite faster CPUs, RAM and storage, today’s Windows experience doesn’t feel noticeably different from back in the 2000s when XP and later Windows 7 ruled the roost. To quantify this f…
The article is worth a read but to save you a click if you don’t want to: Windows 11 is the worst in all metrics. Includes startup time, RAM usage, and speed of using apps (Paint, web browser)
This is a pattern that keeps repeating: Windows 11 was last in the battery test, took longer to render a video project in OpenShot, took its sweet time opening the File Explorer window, and opening built-in applications like MS Paint left enough time to fetch a fresh cup of coffee. Not to mention Windows 11 taking the longest to open websites and scoring worst of all in single-threaded CPU-Z.
I would say they would need to toss all the 11 scores and do it again without the drive being encrypted (as they acknowledged in the article). Then run modern apps to compare, because ram usage doesn’t say much about speed. Newer games in specific do benchmark better on the same hardware from 10 to 11, showing that while the ram usage is b
Higher, it is better used for the time period it is being produced for.

Write speeds and such are up as well apparently.

Tbf that’s the default for Windows 11 so it should be what is compared.
