Is there anything compelling in Windows 11 that would make me want to switch from Windows 10?
* Dev Drive - faster partition of your drive made specifically for software dev work. Also attempting to create a nice widget screen for GitHub & others.
* Apple iMessage Connection - Ability to send messages from your Apple phone. I've heard this is missing a lot of necessary features though & is really 1/4 baked. A lot of that may be due to Apple more than Microsoft.
* Live captions - haven't tried it but sounds like Windows 11 will create captions off any audio played, even offline. I love Edge's read aloud mode & reader mode. Windows is winning the accessibility game in my opinion & I'm not a person that requires these to function. They just improve my life. Another accessibility feature is voice typing via a shortcut. I probably won't use this often but nice to see & may come in handy on a laptop for me.
* Android Apps - haven't tried it but sounds like Android apps work in Windows now.
* Different backgrounds on virtual desktops. I'm hoping there is other improvements to virtual desktops. I'm a huge user & I rarely see the background but I'm glad to hear they're dedicating time here.
* Test the different AI features they come up with.
In any event, no new OS features are worth dealing with nonconsensual ads popping up whenever I move the mouse the wrong way.
Looks like I was a bit wrong in my earlier comment, they have recently updated Windows 10 to support the concept of P/E core differences, but the way they assign processes to specific cores in Win10 is very unsophisticated compared to Win11.
According to both MS and Intel, thread scheduling on 10 is not as optimized as on Win 11.
According to benchmarks (typically games), performance is roughly the same. Most wins go to Windows 11, some to Windows 10, but within negligible ranges of difference to where it doesn't matter on either. That was reason enough to stick with Windows 10 on my 13600k i5 build still.

Your mileage may vary, of course. There are new features that might be of value to you.
(Also, I found GPT-3.5 helpful with PowerShell; didn't have a reason to try out GPT-4 on PS yet).
That was my issue. I don't know whether ChatGPT was giving me instructions for the wrong version of Windows or just hallucinating solutions, but things as simple as "Can I write a script that, when run by a shortcut, toggles the desktop screen resolution between 3840x2160 and 1920x1080" and the output doesn't work. Then you tell it it doesn't work and it does it entirely differently, and that doesn't work either. If ChatGPT has no idea whether what it says works, will Windows Copilot? I have my doubts.
That's even worse.
I don't like how there is two right click menus - feels half baked. Just include one or the other, why is there both.
You don't get the search functionality though, so it is not useful for first time use of a character or discovering “new” ones.
