After 5 weeks of daily computing, I'm fully used to It.
Is there anything you particularly prefer or dislike about it?

I've added the good ol' classic start menu, and also customized the start button.

Oh it's the properly classic start menu! The Win11 menu is a bit weird. I cannot fathom why, when I click the windows start button, then select the search function, it has to flick over to the search function window. Why is that not all integrated into one thing?!

It functions no different to that of Windows XP.

I realize It eventually all comes down to familiarization, but It's purely common sense to Integrate both functionalities Into one. Who knows what they were thinking at the time of development.

I never resist change. Windows 11 is good and smooth. The layout and animations are polished too. I like it, provided you have it running on a good system

Indeed! It's also just a but uglier to look at. I also cannot imagine my grandparents in their 70s and 80s getting along with it xD New tech/software developments are rarely kind to the older generations, though.
