Title: Surprisingly Impressed by Windows After Years of Mac Usage – Thread by stormboy, Nov 3, 2023
I recently received my Dell Latitude 3310 laptop on Thursday evening to use for my severe weather chase team and ham radio activities. I had been a primarily Apple user since switching to Mac shortly after the release of Windows Vista. Considering my past negative experiences with Microsoft Windows, I never expected to be impressed with any version of Windows again. However, after using the laptop for a day and a half, I must admit that Windows 11 Pro has left me pleasantly surprised.
Upon receiving the laptop, it was pre-installed with version 21H2, and it prompted me to update to version 22H2. I anticipated a frustrating experience with the update process, expecting interruptions and potential issues. To my delight, Windows 11 Pro handled the update smoothly. It informed me when the download was complete and asked to schedule a restart for the installation, respecting my ongoing tasks.
Despite my concerns, the installation process was quick and trouble-free. I was worried about potential issues post-update, but to my relief, everything worked seamlessly when I resumed using the laptop that evening. While I have not extensively used it yet, it seems that Microsoft has finally created an operating system that just works. I am genuinely pleased with my experience with Windows 11 Pro so far.
