Windows 11 on AMD – Questions Answered & Comparative Benchmarks!

Final Thoughts

With the fixes now in place, I see absolutely no reason now why AMD processor owners shouldn’t feel perfectly comfortable in making the transition to Windows 11. As shown throughout our testing, the overwhelming conclusion from the results is that, on the whole, while probably not at a level that most users would notice ‘by the eye’, Windows 11 does seem to offer better overall performance than Windows 10.

Remember as well, Windows 10 has had over 6 years to get as good as it is now. Windows 11 is arguably at least as good despite literally being just (from a general consumer release standpoint) one month old!

The installation process is as smooth as silk and after having used it for a week now, I feel no compulsion to ever go back to Windows 10. Yes, there are definitely changes. And one I personally lament the most is the effective dropping of ‘old school’ MS Paint (something I regularly used for quick and convenient image editing). – By and large, however, most of the little tweaks and changes are for the better and provide what I think is a significantly sleeker and smarter form of interaction in the operating system.

The key point, however, is that users should not consider Windows 11 a whole new operating system. While it is new, it’s honestly nowhere near as intimidating as that sounds. – It feels more like a hugely updated and, overall, improved version of Windows 10.

Yes, market adoption is likely to be sluggish. People are always resistant to change. A factor that is most notably seen in the fact that Windows 10 still doesn’t quite have an 80% (Windows OS) market share. – If you are, however, on the fence and worried about what making the change will bring, and particularly so given all the negative coverage of AMD on the platform, while I don’t have enough time to go through every little tweak Windows 11 has, I promise you that my experience on AMD Ryzen has so far been good. And better still, the operating system seems to be getting a little bit more out of my hardware than it did on Windows 10.

I’m certainly not saying that you have to make the upgrade. That’s entirely your choice. What I am saying, however, is that if you have perhaps been worried about doing it out of fear of getting a drop in system performance (particularly so AMD owners), then, in my opinion at least, you shouldn’t! – It’s good, it works fine, and it is only likely set to get better and better with the release of each new update!
