Windows 11 is often criticized for its demanding hardware requirements that exclude many older PCs, significant user interface changes that alter familiar workflows, perceived performance issues on certain hardware, and a rollout that included various bugs and forced features. These factors have led to user frustration and a perception of the operating system being less user-friendly than its predecessor.
To install Windows 11, first ensure your PC meets the minimum system requirements, then create a bootable USB drive using the Microsoft Media Creation Tool or an ISO file. Next, boot your computer from this USB drive and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup process, which typically involves selecting an installation type and partitioning your drive.
To connect a PS5 controller to your PC, use a data-capable USB-C cable for a wired connection, or pair it wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.0 or higher by holding the Share and PS buttons until the light bar flashes rapidly, then adding it in Windows Bluetooth settings. For optimal game compatibility and features, use Steam's Big Picture Mode or DS4Windows.
