Current Events > Wow, Windows 11 looks really freaking nice

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't know if I'm sold on all the changes, but the hyper-minimalist design ethos is ace.

Theres like 3 or 4 different versions of windows explorer. They slapped a fresh coat of paint over maybe 30% of windows and left the same as how it used to look. Its trash because they cant make a consistent UI

the built in teams app is trash, especially for business since theres a separate version for business

mmc still looks like it always has. Theres still aspects of like windows 3.1 or some shit. Look at the ODBC settings

i dont really care what it looks like, as long as it doesn't take away features i care about and doesn't fuck up my computer i'm fine with it. my only hang up is the TPM thing, mostly because i'm not really clear on what it does. its a type of hardware level encryption right?

All it does it store your encryption key for whatever encryption software you use, typically bitlocker
it has no effect enabled or disabled if you dont encrypt your drives. If you encrypt your drives its a time saver and more secure (generally) than other methods of storing your encryption key
merit: I might be wrong on it not doing anything else, its used in some apps like outlook for encrypted mail and stuff as well I think. You probably wont notice anything though

Is it free?

Wait I want it. How do I get

Have a pc from 2017 or newer

Just google download windows 11 and it will bring you to a official Microsoft page where you can download the ISO

its free if you already have a licensed copy of windows 10

Really the UI is a complete clusterfuck

what they have upgraded is nice they should have finished the job though instead of half assing it, or less than half in this case

Principal to me last week: could you give your opinion on it as the Head of IT and if you feel it's something we should roll out?

I also want to add that it's extremely obvious that Windows 11 is just Windows 10 with a different skin

I don't like that they are trying to mimic Apple's dock, by putting all the icons in the middle like that.

Is there a way to get the time to display on the second monitor taskbar? Makes it harder to play games when I'm on work email duty without it lol

Also why do I have to open an entire new window to change the sound source now.
