Windows 10 got a new kernel that was unquestionably better than the previous ones. This meant that even though it was a step backwards in some ways from Windows 7 (and 8 isn't even worth mention), it was capable of better performance.
I've asked a few times if anyone can give any good reasons for switching to 11 from 10 other than "it's newer" or "ms is sunsetting win10" and have yet to see a compelling response. Virtual desktop support is the best answer so far, but I had that on Windows 20 years ago with litestep (I think that's what it was called, it was an alternate desktop program).
It seems that Microsoft has just decided that they are going to throw their market dominance and reputation (which for some reason is good in the business and government world) around rather than offer good products.
uhm, i believe win 11 has a better scheduler. It schedules more efficiently. That's the one argument i've heard in favor of win11.
I think that it's scheduler is better for those Intel bigLittle CPUs
that could be it. I never asked, the person that relayed that says it was significant enough for win11 to run faster than win10 for them. No idea how much i trust them on that one though.
