随着Windows 11的推出，大家都在思考是否值得升级。有些人害怕出现错误和崩溃，而另一些人则认为Windows 10已经足够好了。事实上，Windows 11 并不完美，而Windows 10是一个相当成功的操作系统。切换到新的操作系统是一个重要的决定，您应该仔细考虑。
如果您仍在使用Windows 10甚至旧版本的Windows，您可能对升级到新的Windows版本持谨慎态度。微软(Microsoft)彻底改变了界面并创造了全新的用户体验，但它也带来了一系列广泛的功能。这些功能是否对您有任何影响取决于您。在本文中，我们将分析Windows 11与Windows 10的功能之争，并告诉您升级后会得到什么。
新设计
从Windows 10(Windows 10)切换到Windows 11时，您会注意到的最大变化是界面设计。从Windows徽标到文件夹样式和文件视觉效果的所有内容都已更改。当您打开文件资源管理器(File Explorer)时，更改最为明显。
由于添加了颜色渐变和更精细的细节，图标看起来不再那么平坦和 2D，并且所有窗口都有圆角。此外，菜单和面板设计遵循相同的原则。一切都感觉光滑圆润。难怪很多人觉得Windows 11在风格上更接近macOS而不是 Windows 10。
说到类似 macOS 的设计，微软(Microsoft)还将任务栏移到了屏幕中央。
幸运的是，您可以自定义任务栏。如果您认为这会打扰您，Microsoft允许您将任务栏从任务栏个性化菜单移到左侧，这样您就可以随时切换回经典的Windows桌面外观。
也就是说，您会喜欢或绝对讨厌的一个方面是上下文菜单。
微软(Microsoft)完全为Windows 11重新设计了它。它看起来更简单，也不那么杂乱，主要是因为一些流行的命令已经变成了快捷方式。剪切(Cut)、复制(Copy)和重命名(Rename)等选项现在只是位于菜单顶部的图标。对于某些人来说，这些图标太小了。幸运的是，您可以通过单击显示更多选项(Show more options)或按Shift+F10快捷键重新访问Windows 10菜单。(Windows 10)不过，永久更改选项会很好。
黑暗模式
在Windows 11中，(Windows 11) 微软(Microsoft)添加了一个更加可定制的系统范围的暗模式。Windows 10 也有暗模式(Windows 10 also has dark mode)，但它看起来不那么现代，它需要一些调整，而且它提供的选项更少。Windows 11 暗模式在视觉上要容易得多。
您可以将深色主题自动应用于从任务栏到文件资源管理器(File Explorer)和开始菜单(Start Menu)的所有内容。您还可以调整颜色、透明度等。也就是说，您甚至可以选择深色模式，并根据自己的喜好进一步自定义。
开始菜单重新设计
Windows 10 的每个应用程序都有大磁贴。这是一个继承自Windows 8的特性，很多人批评它。如果您仍然不喜欢这种方法，您可能会喜欢Windows 11开始菜单的重新设计。
Microsoft将开始菜单设计为图标网格，以便更轻松地管理您的应用程序。Windows 11 将自动固定您使用或您更可能经常使用的应用程序，但您可以选择进入或退出开始菜单的内容。
也就是说，Windows 11的开始菜单比Windows 10的对应菜单更简单。干净的设计会再次提醒您 macOS，但请注意您丢失了在Windows 10版本中获得的应用程序信息。如果您想要的只是一个简单的开始菜单，其中包含您访问的所有应用程序和文档，那么Windows 11可能是您的选择。
默认情况下禁用 Cortana
如果您不是Cortana(Cortana)的忠实粉丝，您会很高兴知道您不必执行禁用它的步骤。虽然Cortana已安装在Windows 11中，但默认情况下已停用。要激活它，您必须启动应用程序并登录。
使用 Snap Layouts 进行多任务处理
由于添加了Snap Layouts ，Windows 11 可以说比 Windows 11 更适合多任务处理。您可以通过将所有窗口组合在一个监视器上来提高工作效率。只需(Just)将鼠标光标悬停在文件夹、浏览器页面或 Windows 应用程序的最大化按钮上，即可查看快照布局样式。(Maximize)
您选择的布局将自动将所有活动窗口捕捉到布局图块。您不再需要手动平铺每个窗口。(Window)
布局图块遵循显示器的纵横比和大小，并且会自动适应。
也就是说，Windows 11还将记住您的双显示器设置(dual monitor setup)和布局。当您使用第二台显示器或笔记本电脑的外接显示器时，Windows 10 可能会很烦人，因为一旦您拔下并重新插入它，它就会忘记您的布局。微软(Microsoft)终于在Windows 11中解决了这个问题。
更好的虚拟桌面支持
说到生产力和多任务处理，Windows 11 带来了无限数量的可定制虚拟桌面。为学习、工作、业余项目和游戏创建一个单独的虚拟环境。
快照(Snap)布局很棒，但程序的最大视图有限，那么为什么不为您需要的每个程序或每组程序设置一个虚拟桌面呢？只需(Just)立即从您的游戏会话切换回您的工作会话。在Windows 11中，您可以比在(Windows 11)Windows 10中更好地控制它们，因为您可以完全自定义每一个。例如，在Windows 10中，您无法更改单独虚拟桌面的背景。
小部件
如前所述，在Windows 11中不再有动态磁贴，但这并不意味着微软(Microsoft)完全取消了该功能。你会得到小部件。
小部件将根据您的居住地和您的兴趣为您提供天气和交通信息、各种推荐、新闻提要、更新以及几乎所有内容。Windows 11 小部件由 AI 提供支持，因此它们非常擅长为您提供相关建议。
要检查小部件，您可以将鼠标悬停在任务栏左下角的小部件图标上。(Widgets)如果缺少该按钮，则小部件(Widgets)功能可能已禁用。要启用它，请右键单击任务栏，选择任务栏设置，(Taskbar settings,)然后单击小部件旁边的开(On)/关切换。(Off )
微软团队集成
自大流行开始以来，在线(Online)交流变得越来越重要，因此微软(Microsoft)决定用Teams取代(Teams)Skype。Microsoft Teams现在是Windows 11上的默认视频会议应用程序，并且已预装。与您的朋友聊天、与您的同事协作以及免费共享图像、视频和文档。
触控、触控笔和语音支持
使 Windows 11 与Windows 10(Windows 10)真正不同的是它对移动设备使用的关注。几乎所有东西的界面和整体更简单的设计都迎合了移动用户。Windows 11 旨在完全支持触控和笔控制，以及语音命令。
如果你是移动设备和Windows 触摸屏笔记本电脑(Windows touch screen laptops)的忠实粉丝，你会喜欢 Windows 11。除了视觉效果和界面外，微软(Microsoft)还显着改善了触摸屏响应，还添加了一个屏幕键盘，其工作方式与你的智能手机。
微软(Microsoft)在语音输入和手写笔支持方面也取得了进步。您无需安装任何其他软件即可告诉计算机为您键入什么内容。此外，Windows 11 还具有自动标点符号，因此它会在应该放置逗号或句号时自动启动。
安卓应用支持
Windows最重要的升级之一是对Android的支持。没错，您将能够在您的Windows 11 PC上安装Android应用程序。此功能与移动友好的用户界面以及改进的触摸和语音控制齐头并进。使用 snap 布局创建一个类似Android的窗口，您将获得完整的体验。
微软商店
微软对(Microsoft)Microsoft Store进行了大修。该商店最初并没有取得很大的成功，许多用户实际上都避开了它，因此微软(Microsoft)对其进行了改造。界面更加直观和用户友好。
Microsoft Store现在分为控制侧边栏和内容面板，感觉比Windows 10的方法更现代。您可以选择应用程序类别、运行自定义搜索并浏览库，而无需浪费时间搜索控件。
也就是说，界面并没有完全改变。当您单击浏览器下载链接时，新的Microsoft Store将自动启动。(Microsoft Store)如今，安装应用程序是一个更加简化的过程。
最后，微软(Microsoft)建立了一些有趣的合作伙伴关系，让微软商店(Microsoft Store)更有趣。该公司与亚马逊应用(Amazon App)商店、Adobe、TikTok、Zoom等合作。您会发现比以前更酷的应用程序和游戏。
游戏玩家的新功能
此Windows更新还带来了一些有趣的游戏相关功能。如果您拥有 Xbox，您可能已经知道您可以使用Xbox Game Pass在您的 PC 上玩 Xbox 游戏(play Xbox games on your PC)，但微软(Microsoft)现在也在向 PC 引入更多 Xbox Series X功能。最有趣的功能是DirectStorage和Auto HDR。
DirectStorage 将直接提高您 PC 的游戏性能，因为如果您有NVMe SSD(NVMe SSD)，它会加快加载时间。您的游戏将加载得更快，因此您将有更少的时间去喝汽水，而且最重要的是，图形资源也会加载得更快。如果您目前在加载所有内容之前遇到块状图形几秒钟，您应该获得Windows 11。
启用自动 HDR(Auto HDR)后，您还将获得色彩范围、亮度和阴影的提升。您的游戏体验将得到显着改善，因为一切都将看起来更加生动和身临其境。
升级值得吗？
从Windows 10升级到Windows 11是否值得取决于您使用 PC 的目的。如果你不太关心多任务、触控和游戏，你可以坚持使用Windows 10，直到微软(Microsoft)添加更多功能。对于普通Windows(Windows)用户 来说，当前的变化并不是革命性的。
也就是说，如果您要购买一台新 PC，您不妨也从一个新的操作系统开始，并给Windows 11一个机会。只需(Just)确保您的 PC 满足运行Windows 11的(Windows 11)系统要求(system requirements)即可。您可能还记得TPM 2.0丑闻，因此请仔细阅读我们的文章。
Windows 11 Vs Windows 10: What You Get When You Upgrade
With the launch of Windows 11, everyone is thinking about whether it’s worth the upgrade. Some are afraid of bugs and crashes while others are thinking that Windows 10 is already good enough. The truth is, Windows 11 isn’t perfect and Windows 10 is quite a successful operating system. Making the switch to a new OS is an important decision and you should consider it carefully.
If you’re still using Windows 10 or even an older version of Windows, you’re probably cautious about upgrading to a new Windows version. Microsoft overhauled the interface and created a whole new user experience, but it also brought a wide array of features to the table. Whether these features make any difference to you is up to you. In this article, we’re going to analyze the Windows 11 vs Windows 10 battle of features and tell you what you’re getting if you upgrade.
A New Design
The most drastic change you’ll notice when switching from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is the interface design. Everything from the Windows logo to the style of the folder and file visuals has been changed. The change is most noticeable when you open the File Explorer.
Icons no longer look so flat and 2D thanks to the added color gradients and finer details, and all windows have rounded corners. Also, the menu and panel design follow the same principles. Everything feels smooth and rounded. No wonder a lot of people feel like Windows 11 is stylistically closer to macOS instead of Windows 10.
Speaking of the macOS-like design, Microsoft has also moved the taskbar to the center of your screen.
Fortunately, you can customize the taskbar. If you think this is going to bother you, Microsoft lets you move the taskbar to the left from the taskbar personalization menu so you can always switch back to the classic Windows desktop look.
That said, one aspect that you will either love or absolutely hate is the context menu.
Microsoft redesigned it completely for Windows 11. It looks a lot simpler and less cluttered mainly because some of the popular commands have been transformed into shortcuts. Options like Cut, Copy, and Rename are now just icons sitting at the top of the menu. For some people, these icons are too small. Fortunately, you can revisit the Windows 10 menu by clicking on Show more options or pressing the Shift+F10 shortcut. A permanent change option would be nice to have though.
Dark Mode
With Windows 11 Microsoft has added a much more customizable system-wide dark mode. Windows 10 also has dark mode, but it’s not as modern-looking, it requires a bit of tweaking, and it offers fewer options. Windows 11 dark mode is a lot easier on the eye.
You can apply a dark theme automatically to everything from the taskbar, to the File Explorer, and Start Menu. You can also tweak the color, transparency, and a lot more. That said, you can even choose a dark color mode instead and customize it further to your liking.
Start Menu Redesign
Windows 10 has large tiles for each app. This is a feature inherited from Windows 8 and a lot of people criticized it. If you still don’t like that approach, you might appreciate the Windows 11 start menu redesign.
Microsoft designed the start menu to manage your apps more easily as a grid of icons. Windows 11 will automatically pin the apps you use or you’re more likely to use often, but you can select what goes in or out of the start menu.
That said, the Windows 11 start menu is simpler than its Windows 10 counterpart. The clean design will remind you again of macOS, but take note that you lose the app information you get in the Windows 10 version. If all you want is a simple start menu that contains all the apps and documents you access, then Windows 11 might be the choice for you.
Cortana Is Disabled by Default
If you’re not a big fan of Cortana, you’ll be happy to know that you won’t have to go through the steps of disabling it. While Cortana comes already installed in Windows 11, it is by default deactivated. To activate it, you’ll have to launch the application and sign in.
Multitasking with Snap Layouts
Windows 11 is arguably more multitasking-friendly than Windows 11 thanks to the addition of Snap Layouts. You can improve your productivity by grouping all your windows together on a single monitor. Just hover your mouse cursor over the Maximize button of a folder, browser page, or Windows app to see the snap layout styles.
The layout you choose will automatically snap all your active windows to the layout tiles. You no longer have to tile each Window manually.
The layout tiles follow the aspect ratio and size of your display and it adapts automatically.
That said, Windows 11 will also remember your dual monitor setup and layout. Windows 10 can be annoying when you use a second monitor, or an external monitor in the case of laptops because it forgets your layout once you unplug and replug it. Microsoft has finally addressed this issue in Windows 11.
Better Virtual Desktop Support
Speaking of productivity and multitasking, Windows 11 brings an unlimited number of customizable virtual desktops. Create a separate virtual environment for study, work, side projects, and gaming.
Snap layouts are great, but the maximum view of a program is limited, so why not set up a virtual desktop for each program or each group of programs you need? Just switch from your gaming session back to your work session instantly. In Windows 11 you get greater control over them than in Windows 10 by being able to fully customize each one. For example, in Windows 10 you can’t change the background of a separate virtual desktop.
Widgets
As mentioned earlier, in Windows 11 you no longer have live tiles, but that doesn’t mean Microsoft eliminated that feature entirely. You get Widgets instead.
Widgets will give you weather and traffic information, various recommendations, news feeds, updates, and pretty much anything based on where you live and what interests you. Windows 11 Widgets are powered by AI, so they’re pretty good at offering you relevant suggestions.
To check the widgets, you can hover your mouse on the Widgets icon in the lower-left corner of your taskbar. If the button is missing, the Widgets feature is probably disabled. To enable it, right-click on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings, and click on the On/Off toggle next to Widgets.
Microsoft Teams Integration
Online communication has become more and more important since the start of the pandemic, so Microsoft decided to replace Skype with Teams. Microsoft Teams is now the default video conferencing app on Windows 11 and it comes preinstalled. Chat with your friend, collaborate with your colleagues, and share images, videos, and documents for free.
Touch, Stylus, and Voice Support
What makes Windows 11 truly different from Windows 10 is its focus on mobile device use. The interface and the overall simpler design of pretty much everything caters to mobile users. Windows 11 is designed to fully support touch and pen controls, as well as voice commands.
If you’re a big fan of mobile devices and Windows touch screen laptops, you’ll appreciate Windows 11. Besides the visuals and the interface, Microsoft significantly improved touch screen response and also added an onscreen keyboard that works exactly like the onscreen keyboard on your smartphone.
Microsoft has also advanced when it comes to voice input and stylus support. You don’t need to install any additional software to tell the computer what to type for you. Also, Windows 11 features automatic punctuation so it picks up on when it’s supposed to place a comma or a full stop.
Android Apps Support
One of the most important upgrades to Windows is Android support. That’s right, you’ll be able to install Android apps on your Windows 11 PC. This feature goes hand in hand with the mobile-friendly user interface and the improved touch and voice controls. Use the snap layout to create an Android-like window and you’ll get the full experience.
The Microsoft Store
Microsoft has overhauled the Microsoft Store. The store wasn’t initially a great success and many users actually avoided it, so Microsoft revamped it. The interface is much more intuitive and user-friendly.
The Microsoft Store is now divided into a control sidebar and a content panel, which feels more modern than the Windows 10 approach. You can choose application categories, run a custom search, and explore the library without wasting time searching for the controls.
That said, the interface isn’t all that changed. The new Microsoft Store will launch itself automatically when you click on a browser download link. Installing applications is a more streamlined process nowadays.
Finally, Microsoft has made some interesting partnerships to make the Microsoft Store more interesting. The company partnered with the Amazon App store, Adobe, TikTok, Zoom, and others. You’ll find a lot more cool apps and games than before.
New Features for Gamers
This Windows update brings some interesting gaming-related features as well. If you own an Xbox, you might already know that you can play Xbox games on your PC with the Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft is now also introducing more Xbox Series X features to the PC as well. The most interesting features are DirectStorage and Auto HDR.
DirectStorage will improve your PC’s gaming performance directly because it speeds up loading times if you have an NVMe SSD. Your games will load faster, so you’ll have less time to grab a soda, and on top of that, the graphical assets will load quicker too. If you currently experience blocky graphics for a few seconds until everything loads, you should get Windows 11.
With Auto HDR enabled as well, you’ll also get a boost to the color range, luminance, and shadows. Your gaming experience will improve significantly since everything will look more vibrant and immersive.
Is the Upgrade Worth It?
Whether upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is worth it or not depends on what you’re using your PC for. If you don’t care much about multitasking, touch control, and gaming, you can stick to Windows 10 until Microsoft adds more features. The current changes aren’t that revolutionary for the average Windows users.
That said, if you’re getting a new PC, you might as well start out with a new operating system as well and give Windows 11 a chance. Just make sure your PC fulfills the system requirements to run Windows 11. You probably remember the TPM 2.0 scandal so give our article a thorough read.
