A Windows Report survey of 11,097 participants revealed some interesting public opinions about the upcoming Windows 11 operating system.
Según los resultados, más de la mitad de los participants planea actualizarse al nuevo sistema operativo en el momento del lanzamiento, mientras que casi una cuarta parte de los encuestados no tiene una computadora portátil o PC que cumpla con los altos requisitos mínimos de hardware para una actualization. . It seems people are also divided on the design, with 53% voting for the new look, while 21% think it looks a lot like Windows 10 and 13% admit Windows 11 does not appear to be. your taste
The survey also asked questions about respondents’ preferred features and their knowledge of internal PC components, such as TPM chips (after an initial compatibility issue was traced to a TPM issue), although the survey appears to have been sent to people who are already fans. . . Microsoft’s operating system (or at least familiar with it), with 51% of respondents being members of the Windows Insider program and an additional 17% of non-members planning to join the program to test Windows 11 before launching it. start.
Among the most anticipated features, the focused start menu came out unexpectedly with 35%, followed by native compatibility with Android apps (26%) and Xbox Game Pass and Auto HDR, which together gathered 13% approval of the hearing.
Opinion: Don’t read too much into this

With more than half of the attendees also being members of the Windows Insider Club, respondents are already fans of Microsoft and its operating systems (or at least invested in the Windows ecosystem) enough to volunteer to test features. and experimental services.
That’s not to say people aren’t rushing with updates, but it seems a bit pointless to wait for update percentages in public before launch day when more than half of those polled already like Windows. After trying the service.
We don’t just have to look at individuals. Many large companies are unlikely to upgrade their systems immediately if history suggests. Last year, we reported that one in three NHS computers were still running Windows 7 even after the operating system had reached the end of its useful life, and Forbes reported in 2019 that similarly, one in three businesses still used Windows XP.
Using an outdated operating system can cause dangerous security breaches, which is why Microsoft is very motivated to convince business and business users to upgrade to Windows 11, but people are unlikely to give up on Windows. . 10 so happy. The older operating system will be supported until 2025, so Microsoft has some time to convince those hesitant to join, but with so many concerns about bugs and compatibility with older hardware, this will not be easy.
