On October 5th, Windows 11 has finally completed a year on the market. Still, OS adoption remains slow: despite the free upgrade, the system still struggles to surpass the previous Windows 10.
The development of Windows 11 has been slow, in addition to the requirements that make it difficult to install on different computers, even with the most modern hardware. As a result, the upgrade proved uninteresting and cumbersome for some users.
Now, 12 months after the official release of Windows 11, is it time to give the OS a shot and load it up? Check out our views on the platform after a year of use.
Interesting development throughout the year
For anyone looking for an enhanced visual experience, Windows 11 is definitely worth it. Since the system was launched visually smoother user experience: Colorful icons and animations bring the desktop to life, even if the adaptation to the new language is not yet complete – every now and then, the user is still faced with a prompt reminding of the times of Windows XP.
Another interesting feature that deserves attention is Snap LayoutsSolution for automatically splitting open windows when using Windows 11, especially for those working with many tabs and applications on multiple monitors big hand on the wheel for productivity.
Speaking of tabs and productivity, the latest Windows 11 updates are also tabs in file explorer and Initialize menu folders. Simple, the changes ensure a freshness that increases the distance to the new version of Windows 10 and provides more usability and editing possibilities.
Last year, Microsoft introduced other notable improvements to the system, such as a stronger focus mode that temporarily disables notifications to allow for greater productivity.

key improvements
Despite improvements that make the user experience much better than launch day, Windows 11 still needs to deliver on most of its promises. For example, basic functions like dragging and dropping items were put out on the new platform and now only appeared in the system with the arrival of the 22H2 update.
Also, the solutions to sell the OS as something new are not widely implemented yet. HE support for android appsOne of the biggest new features of Windows 11 is, It has not yet reached Brazil.
The widget system, which brings so much potential, is also very limited these days. Even a year after launch, the solution still only uses extensions made by Microsoft, leaving the user with a few options to search for information – you can watch baseball games, for example, but not football.
Is it worth upgrading to Windows 11 now?
After a year on the market, Windows 11 offers an improved user experience with improvements that align the current version with expectations expected at the time of release. But the system is still struggling to become something bigger and break away from the “Windows 10 DLC” image.
For those using Windows 10 and have a system compatible with the new version, it may be a good alternative to upgrade directly to the new 22H2 version as the system has interesting productivity improvements. However, if your computer has not been upgraded, do not worry about staying out of the new wave: Windows 11 has not yet received some features in Brazil that really make it different from its predecessor, such as support for Android apps.
In other words, it’s not worth upgrading your computer’s hardware or just buying a new laptop for Windows 11 because the changes aren’t that big yet.
