While we’re not claiming that Windows 11 is radically different than Windows 10, upgrading comes with its own potential hassles, unexpected tweaks to Settings and other preferences, and so on. If you know Windows 10, why not stick with it?

Android 13 should be arriving soon, as it’s available as an upgrade for Windows Insiders. But it’s something you’re not going to find on Windows 10. Granted, the Amazon Android app store works best on tablets, and for those who like mobile games. If you try downloading it on Windows 10, the OS will try to load the legacy Groove Music app instead.Ī better example would be Windows’ new Android apps, once just a few hundred and now into the thousands, according to Microsoft and Amazon. While not all of Microsoft’s new applications seem to be reserved for Windows 11 (like the updated, worse Photos app, for example) a couple are: the spiffy new Windows Media Player, for example. Microsoft’s many development teams continue to work on parallel tracks: on the operating system itself, on Office, services, and more. Still, it’s a feature that’s exclusive to Windows 11. We can’t make too much of this, as the “feature” is really just a shortcut to the Bing site, which opens within Edge. Bing Chat appears in Windows 11’s Search feature, but not in Windows 10. One of those new features is Bing Chat, the AI chatbot link that Microsoft added via its Windows 11 Feb. But it’s clear that Microsoft’s time and attention is being spent on Windows 11, and not Windows 10. Windows 11’s 2022 Update marked a return to the annual update cadence, with Microsoft seemingly spending more time updating its apps and services as opposed to the operating system itself. Granted, Microsoft isn’t exactly issuing major revisions of Windows 11 with every new feature update, either.

The last two feature releases have basically passed over Windows 10, relegating the new features to Windows 11 only. But for those who like new features… well, don’t expect many to arrive on Windows 10 anytime soon. Some users prefer that Microsoft leave Windows alone, making users the only agent of change on their PCs. Windows 11 will get features Windows 10 won’t Until that date arrives, your Windows 10 PC will continue to receive security patches for Windows 10. Granted, Windows 10 isn’t dead dead, as Windows 10 ends its support lifecycle in 2025. Windows 10 will no longer receive any new features, which for some may be a key reason to move to Windows 11.
