No rush to Windows 11?　Google Play Games can now be played on Windows 10 or later

From theverge.com

　As described above, being able to play the Google Play game app on Windows 10 or later means that there is one less reason to upgrade to Windows 11 in terms of gameplay. Therefore, this Google Play Games app issue may have some impact on the popularity of Windows 11. Tech media "Computerworld" reported on the 2nd regarding the spread of Windows 11. According to the report, AdDuplex, which operates an app promotion platform, collected data on the Windows OS from about 5,000 Windows Store apps using its service, and found that the combined share of Windows 10 and Windows 11 On the other hand, Windows 11 is 8.6%, which indicates that it is not yet popular (see image below). Regarding the reason why Windows 11 has not spread rapidly, Mr. Esben Dochy, a technical product evangelist at Lansweeper, which provides IT asset management services, said that in addition to the strict requirements for upgrading to Windows 11, Windows 10 will not be available until 2025. It says it will be supported. If he is correct, Windows 11 adoption will continue to grow slowly. Regarding Windows 11, the British newspaper Express published an article on the 11th that could have a negative impact on its popularization. Some users of Windows 11 have complained that SSDs with NVMe are slow to read. Some of the complaints claim that Windows 11 is only 45% faster than Windows 10 in the same operating environment. Tech media "betanews" reported on the 11th that the above problems were likely fixed in the recently released KB5007262 update. The update includes improvements to drive performance. Regarding the processing speed of Windows 11, tech media "PCMag" reported on the 6th the results of a benchmark test comparing it with Windows 10. I prepared a Dell notebook PC (Dell Inspiron 14 74152-in-1) with both OSs and ran various benchmark tests, and there was little difference between Windows 11 and Windows 10 in terms of processing speed. Comprehensively judging from the above series of reports, it may not be necessary to rush to upgrade to Windows 11. However, if you want to try Windows 11's new UI and new multitasking features, you should upgrade immediately. 〈Source〉https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/9/22827037/google-android-games-windows-pc-google-play-gameshttps://www.computerworld.com/article/3643074/windows -11-adoption-nears-9-but-businesses-are-waiting.htmlhttps://reports.adduplex.com/#/r/2021-11https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science -technology/1534612/Windows-10-update-Windows-11-Microsoft-slow-PChttps://betanews.com/2021/12/11/microsofts-recently-released-kb5007262-update-may-fix-ssd-performance -issues-in-windows-11/https://www.pcmag.com/news/windows-11-vs-windows-10-tested-will-the-os-upgrade-speed-up-your-current
