There are quite a few changes between Windows 11 from Windows 10 - What changes affect you? and are there any 3rd Party solutions that allow you to "Live with the changes". These can be free or chargable solutions.

I allowed a Windows 11 upgrade on a compatible ASUS VivoBook laptop.
For the most part, I disliked the alternative context menus and Taskbar, plus a few minor issues.
I made everything tolerable by installing StartAllBack, period!
All is working well! (y)

Things have been good so far. I've gotten used to the new menu systems. The clustered sound/network settings in the taskbar is a slight annoyance, though.

Well.. with the reg hack from Shawn(@Brink ) I was able to change the context menu back to the way I like it and overall I just like 11 as it is. Sound/Network is kind of a secondary thing for me since I rarely if ever use it... so

Win 11 is a keeper for me.

Me too, all I changed was the context menu (I'll probably keep the original on a tablet, however) - I had issues with Bluetooth (Swift) connection on Win 10, none with Win 11, so... :wink:

Overall Win 11 rocks! (for me)

Only thing changed was the Context Menu, I lost Quick Launch, minor inconvenience, Mostly I'm using the new Start Menu which I've left left in the center for often used stuff and am continuing to use Open Shell as I did for Win10 for anything else as it's more logically organised IMO. Other than that I'm reasonably happy with Win11.
