The Evolution of Windows Operating Systems: From Windows 7 to Windows Microsoft 11

The Windows operating system has been central to personal and business computing for decades. From the simplicity of Windows 7 to the innovation of Windows Microsoft 11, Microsoft has consistently delivered powerful and user-friendly experiences. Let's explore how these operating systems have evolved and what they offer today.

The Legacy of Windows 7

Launched in 2009, Windows 7 quickly became a favorite for users seeking speed, reliability, and simplicity. It was praised for its stable environment, improved taskbar, and fast boot times. Many users still remember its familiar interface, which balanced classic elements with modern functionality.

Even after newer versions were released, Windows 7 remained popular. Businesses valued its performance and ease of use, especially in office settings where compatibility and consistency were key.

Though Microsoft ended official support in 2020, some users still rely on it for legacy software or older hardware. With a proper license, it remains a viable OS for systems not requiring the latest features.

What Windows 8 Brought to the Table

Microsoft aimed to revolutionize the desktop experience with Windows 8. Released in 2012, it introduced the Start screen—a touch-friendly interface designed for tablets and touchscreen laptops. Although it was a bold move, the drastic change from the traditional Start menu confused some users.

However, Windows 8 was not without strengths. It delivered faster boot times, better battery management, and stronger security than its predecessors. Power users also enjoyed the introduction of features like the task manager upgrade and improved file copying functions.

Despite mixed reviews, Windows 8 laid the groundwork for future developments in the Windows ecosystem. Many of its features were refined in later versions to improve user experience.

Windows Microsoft 11: The Modern Computing Standard

Microsoft took another leap forward with the release of Windows Microsoft 11. It introduced a sleek interface, centered taskbar, and rounded window corners for a modern look. More than design, it focused on productivity and efficiency for today's users.

Some standout features include:

Snap layouts for efficient multitasking

Direct integration with Microsoft Teams

Support for Android apps via the Amazon Appstore

Enhanced security and hardware compatibility

With better system performance, Windows Microsoft 11 caters to both home and business environments. It's optimized for hybrid work, gaming, and cloud-based services, all while ensuring system integrity.

Should You Still Use Windows 7 or Windows 8?

Some users continue using Windows 7 or Windows 8 due to hardware limitations or legacy software dependencies. While they are still functional, using them without updates can pose security risks. If your PC can't support Windows 11, consider upgrading to Windows 10, which still receives updates.

However, if you're purchasing a new system, Windows Microsoft 11 is the recommended option. It ensures compatibility with current software, enhanced protection, and long-term support.

Subheading With Keyword: Why Upgrade to Windows Microsoft 11?

Upgrading to Windows Microsoft 11 has significant benefits. The system runs smoother, handles multitasking more efficiently, and supports the latest hardware. If you use your PC for work, gaming, or content creation, Windows 11 enhances every experience.

Modern apps are built with this OS in mind. Whether you're collaborating in Microsoft Teams, editing media, or running multiple applications at once, Windows 11 delivers.

Buying from reliable vendors ensures you receive a valid license and secure download. If you’re making the switch, choose authentic versions like the ones from SoftwareBase.uk.

Getting Started With Windows 11

Before installing, ensure your PC meets the minimum requirements:

TPM 2.0 enabled

UEFI and Secure Boot

4GB RAM or more

64GB or more of storage

Dual-core processor (1GHz or faster)

Once confirmed, you can install the system using a USB drive or an ISO file. Activation with a valid product key unlocks the full version.

For older PCs that don’t meet these specs, consider Windows 7 or Windows 8 as alternatives, though they lack modern features and support.

Final Thoughts

Microsoft’s operating systems have come a long way. From the reliable simplicity of Windows 7, through the experimental interface of Windows 8, to the polished, future-ready platform that is Windows Microsoft 11, each version has served a purpose.

If you're building or upgrading a PC today, the clear choice is Windows 11. It offers everything a modern user needs—speed, design, compatibility, and robust security.

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

Dear diary,

I've been sitting in front of Microsoft teams for over 15 minutes and my meeting still hasn't loaded. A quick look at the task manager shows it's been doing fuck all. In this situation, one may wonder

Why are we still using windows

How is Microsoft still in business

How much money would my company save by providing me with a laptop more powerful than a Nintendo DS, by calculating the time lost to loading considering my salary

[hometoursandotherstuff]

I'm afraid to set up my new laptop. It's been sitting here a month. It took me forever to set up the old one b/c Microsoft hijacked it. Wouldn't let me download Google. All my stuff is on Google and I hate Bing. Finally, I had to research how to get around it. And, that was Windows 10. (When I thought I had finally gotten Google, it was a bogus site where it was still Microsoft, making it LOOK like I was on Google.)

i was watching the new quinton reviews video and this computer immediately stuck out to me because ??? so i stuck it into MS paint and i've discovered that the computers of mid-late icarly are on a whole other level & i want whatever this OS has going on. it is a gender to me

How to Deal with Windows 10/11 Nonsense

This is more for my own reference to keep all of this on one post. But hopefully others will find this useful too! So yeah, as the title says, this is a to organize links and resources related to handling/removing nonsense from Windows 10 and Windows 11. Especially bloatware and stuff like that Copilot AI thing.

First and foremost, there's O&O Software's ShutUp10++ (an antispy tool that help give you more control over Windows settings) and App Buster (helps remove bloatware and manage applications). I've used these myself for Windows 10 and they work great, and the developers have stated that these should work with Windows 11 too!

10AppsManager is another bloatware/app management tool, though at the moment it seems to only work on Windows 10.

Winaero Tweaker, similar to ShupUp10++ in that it gives you more control over Windows to disable some of the more annoying settings, such as disabling web search from the taskbar/start menu and disabling ads/tips/suggestions in different parts of the OS. I think ShupUp10++ covers the same options as this one, but I'm not entirely sure.

OpenShell, helps simplify the Start Menu and make it look more like the classic start menu from older versions of Windows. Should work with both 10 and 11 according to the readme.

Notes on how to remove that one horrible AI spying snapshots feature that's being rolled out on Windows 11 right now.

Article on how to remove Copilot (an AI assistant) from Windows 11. (Edit 11/20/2024) Plus a post with notes on how to remove it from Windows 10 too, since apparently it's not just limited to 11 now.

Win11Debloat, a simple script that can be used to automatically remove pretty much all of the bullshit from both 10 and 11, though a lot of its features are focused on fixing Windows 11 in particular (hence the name). Also has options you can set to pick and choose what changes you want!

Article on how to set up Windows 11 with a local account on a new computer, instead of having to log in with a Microsoft account. To me, this is especially important because I much prefer having a local account than let Microsoft have access to my stuff via a cloud account. Also note this article and this article for more or less the same process.

I will add to this as I find more resources. I'm hoping to avoid Windows 11 for as long as possible, and I've already been used the O&O apps to keep Windows 10 trimmed down and controlled. But if all else fails and I have to use Windows 11 on a new computer, then I plan to be as prepared as possible.

Edit 11/1/2024: Two extra things I wanted to add onto here.

A recommended Linux distro for people who want to use Linux instead of Windows.

How to run a Windows app on Linux, using Wine. Note that this will not work for every app out there, though a lot of people out there are working on testing different apps and figuring out how to get them to work in Wine.

The main app I use to help with my art (specifically for 3D models to make references when I need it) is Windows only. If I could get it to work on Linux, it would give me no reason to use Windows outside of my work computer tbh (which is a company laptop anyways).

Getting Wordpad back on Windows 11

We all know Microsoft is just as evil as every other corporation, and they removed one of Windows' oldest and most fundamental programs with a recent update.

But you can download Wordpad as well as some other classic programs and games here:

And yes, before someone yells at me about downloading LibreOffice, I have it. It's fine. But most of the time, I just need something really fucking simple to open rtf and doc/docx files.

Microsoft burying the settings to disable advertisements baked into the operating system of Windows 11 into three separate hard to find options menus all while using vague & deceptive wording and forced system updates to Windows 11 should be the wake-up call for consumers to start figuring out how to install and use Linux distributions.

I can recommend:

Linux Mint – For a user experience most akin to Windows

Ubuntu – For overall user-friendliness (once you get used to the changes compared to Windows) and the broadest selection of easy-to-install apps

Lubuntu – For older hardware in need of reinvigoration
