Unsure about upgrading to Windows 11? Microsoft's new ad may convince you

Windows 11 hasn’t been as big a success as Microsoft would have imagined. As per Statcounter, only 27.83% of Windows PCs are running the latest iteration.

Strict system requirements are a major reason a few of you couldn’t make the upgrade, but even otherwise, so many continued with Windows 10. It still has a higher market share than Windows 11, even three years after the release of the latter.

This year, it looks like Microsoft is keen on getting users to switch to Windows 11, what it calls the best Windows yet.

First, Microsoft sent upgrade alerts to Windows 10 users, and now it has come up with an ad to highlight the benefits of Windows 11.

Microsoft’s new ad dispels apprehension concerning Windows 11

Microsoft’s latest ad titled, Start Fresh Without Starting Over with Windows 11, highlights how upgrading to the latest iteration won’t be as challenging as you would believe. On the contrary, it will be a seamless transition to a more user-friendly OS.

The 54-second ad puts the spotlight on three critical aspects of Windows 11:

• Faster search: The Windows 11 Search menu allows you to seamlessly find apps and files on the PC.
• Better organization: The new File Explorer is more user-friendly and facilitates quick file access.
• Improved security: Windows 11 Security does a better job and delivers all-around protection.

Personally speaking, the flawless upgrade process, easy-to-navigate interface, a redesigned Settings app, improved performance (specifically gaming), better touchscreen functionality, and revamped tablet mode are the primary reasons Windows 11 seems a better choice than the previous iteration.

At the same time, there are a few disadvantages of Windows 11 that act as a deterrent to mass adoption. In recent releases, Microsoft has tried to eliminate many of these!

It will be evident in a few days whether the new Microsoft ad will get people to upgrade. But as we near the End of Support (EoS) for Windows 10, the number of users installing Windows 11 will certainly witness an uptick.

If haven’t yet upgraded to Windows 11, do share your reason for it in the comments section.
