Windows 11 can sometimes be a problematic piece of software. Windows 10 will continue to be quite popular and more than functional for the foreseeable future, despite the fact that some people like the new style Microsoft is aiming for. But if you happen to be using a high-end Intel-powered computer, there is really a benefit to the newer software. Is it sufficient to affect change?
I conducted several tests on the most recent builds of Windows 10 and Windows 11 using the most recent Intel Core i9 processor and some of the most potent components available. The only difference in the set of testing is changing the boot drives, which have identical hardware.
I tested using Cinebench, Handbrake, PugetBench Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, and Lightroom, UL Procyon Creative Suite and Office 365, Crossmark Enterprise, GeekBench. I also played several video games and did benchmarks.
So, is upgrading worthwhile? The response is a resounding “no.” Results were so similar in virtually all of the tests that they were within a benchmarking margin of error, which signifies nearly equal performance. Windows 11 might have a 3–4% advantage in the handful that was unique. and in certain cases, Windows 10 was the superior option. Even with the most powerful hardware, there’s really no incentive to upgrade from Windows 10 if performance is what you’re worried about.
