today we'll be speed testing windows 10and windows 11. what impact doesupgrading have on performance whilewe're about to find out so startingthings off with the startup test iwanted to take this time to explain whathardware we're working with because ithas changed from my previous videoswe're using a dell latitude 7390 with ani58350u cpu with integrated graphics 8gigs of ram and this time we're using128 gigs of ssd storage this was allmainly done to supplement windows 11system requirements so we're making thisas fair as possible anyways back to thecomparison windows 10 does take the winhere however windows 11 was not too farbehind as always startup doesn'tdetermine everything but it can give usa rough idea of what to expect andhere's a quick look at how much storageboth operating systems take up with thesame pre-installed programs windows 10takes up exactly 40 gigabytes of storagewhile windows 11 takes up 41.1 gigabytesgiving windows 10 to win here by a mere1.1 gigabytes moving on to memorymanagement i tested this in two waysfirst i measured the amount of ram beingused while nothing was open in thebackground windows 10 took up 2.6gigabytes of ram while windows 11 tookup 3.1 gigabytes that's a 500 megabytedifference and this can be especiallysignificant if you don't have that muchram in the first place next i wanted todo a chrome test where i tried to openas many tabs as possible in googlechrome until we hit 5 gigabytes in taskmanager and we can see the consequencesof windows 11 taking up more system ramwindows 10 got to 24 tabs and windows 11got to 20 tabs another one for windows10. next up is the battery test here ijust ran a bunch of programs in thebackground that would drain the batteryas quickly as possible speeding thingsup here remember both were unplugged atalmost the exact same time windows 10takes the win here once again windows 11falling short by just a minute and ahalf if you're curious i've alsoprovided the total amount of time ittook for both machines to die rememberthis was a highly intensive battery testso i'd imagine in the real world theskill would be even larger up next isaudio editing here i loaded in audacityprojects with a few mp3 files and anaudio effect and exported everythinginto one wav file after running theexport windows 11 comes out on top forthe first time in this video withwindows 10 coming in just millisecondsbehind i wanted to add these lightweighttests just in case the difference inspeed was that large but in this casethat didn't really happen but now let'smove on to something a bit heavier andthat's video editing so things havechanged in this department as wellinstead of using some random videoeditor we're using something a bit morewell-known and that is davinci resolve17. this is a pretty simple project avideo with some audio in the backgroundat 1080p 30fps but it suffices for thishardware and our purposes so speedingthings up here because it does takequite a while windows 10 renders theentire project first with windows 11coming in about 43 seconds later andjust like the battery test here's thetotal amount of time it took for bothoperating systems to render the file ifyou're curious moving forward toapplication opening i wanted to do avariety of different applications forthis section starting off with a classicwindows application control panelwindows 10 does come in first andwindows 11 comes in about a half secondlater let's also try windows settingswhich is a modern windows applicationand once again windows 10 comes out ontop with windows 11 having a similardelay to control panel let's dosomething a bit heavier microsoft word2019 this application has very longloading times but nevertheless windows10 loads up the entire application firstbut windows 11 wasn't too far behindconsidering how long it usually takes toload word let's move away from microsoftfor a little bit and try opening a pdffile with adobe reader and similarresults windows 10 comes in first with asmall gap in windows 11. finally let'stry opening a video file via vlc mediaplayer and surprise surprise windows 10opens before windows 11 with a smalldelay that's kind of funny actuallywindows 10 opened every singleapplication before windows 11 and thesmall gap between both was almost theexact same for every applicationwhat a coincidence and i know this isn'tentirely os dependent but i wanted toquickly do a web page loading test withthree websites first was youtube.com andwindows 11 fully loads the entirewebsite first with about a half seconddelay on windows 10. this was thenfollowed by apple.com where windows 11takes the win here as well again windows10 having this half second delay finallywas google.com and they pretty muchloaded them at almost the exact sametime maybe windows 10 came in amillisecond or two earlier okay welllet's try something else something likefile transfer i loaded a usb flash drivewith about a four gigabyte file andtried copying it over to the desktop ofboth oss speeding things along herewindows 11 finishes copying everythingover first then around 10 seconds laterwindows 10 finishes up doing the samething just like before here's the totalamount of copying time for bothoperating systems if you're interestedfinally before we get to the benchmarkswe've got a virus scanning test i'lladmit i did run into some issues withthis test in particular and i had to dosome reinstallations of malwarebyteswhich is the software we're using sojust keep that in mind it won't be asaccurate as the other tests neverthelessafter the scan was run at the same timein both operating systems windows 11completes the entire thing first windows10 needing around 21 more seconds tocomplete the test so there you go nowit's time for the benchmarks this timewe've got a lot more software we'regoing to work with unlike previousvideos starting off with geekbench 5. insingle core performance windows 10scored a 471 while windows 11 scored a472 a one point difference between bothoperating systems same goes withmulti-core performance windows 10 scoresin 1905 while windows 11 scores in 1906a one point difference once againtechnically speaking windows 11 does winin geekbench but practically speakingthey're basically the same thing movingon to our next benchmark cpu-z insingle-standard performance windows 10scores a 195.1 and windows 11 scores a195.7 less than a one point lead forwindows 11. multi-threaded scores are abit more interesting windows 10 takesthe edge here by scoring a one thousandthree point one while windows 11 scoresa one thousand one point seven almost aone and a half point gap again just likethe geekbench scores these one pointgaps don't really make that much of adifference next benchmark i tried wascrystal disk mark this one specificallymeasured the performance of your harddrive or in this case your ssd and willappear the results there are too manycategories to cover here but here's ageneral overview of what i found and ifyou want to look at specific results youcan pause the video here so in terms ofreading windows 11 generally performseither slightly better than or just asgood as windows 10 however looking atthe other side of things windows 11 hada significant deficiency in writingcompared to windows 10. if you werewaiting for something interesting tohappen then well you got what you wantedi also wanted to conduct a wi-fi speedtest using speedtest.net instead oftaking the best of 10 tests which iswhat i did in my previous comparisons itested each operating system five timesand averaged out the upload and downloadspeed on both in terms of download speedwindows 10 averaged to 88.078 megabitsper second and windows 11 averaged to93.692 megabits per second givingwindows 11 the win here however testingthe upload speed was a completelydifferent story windows 10 scored 88.784megabits per second while windows 11performs worse at 80.438 megabits persecond pretty strange all right nowlet's move on to something more graphicsintensive starting with cinebench a veryheavy benchmark especially for thishardware after running the single corebenchmark on both operating systemswindows 10 loses out here by scoring a439 compared to the higher 450 thatwindows 11 scores however multi-corescore was a different story windows 10receives a 230not 233 2033 versus 2003 on windows 11 a30 point difference last benchmarkbefore we get to conclusions issuperposition this benchmark was offeredin multiple different resolutions andgraphical effects so first let's coverit when it's run at 720p low graphicswindows 10 scores in 1892 and windows 11beats it out with a 1943. i alsorepeated the same benchmark with 1080pmedium settings and windows 10 losesagain with a 675 versus the 694 onwindows 11 and that's all the benchmarksso let's try and make a reasonableconclusion out of this just note mine isnot the end all be all of conclusionsyou can draw your own if you want but ijust want to give my own input based onwhat i call the real world test which iseverything but the benchmarks windows 10won almost every single one startupstorage memory battery video editingopening applications like a ton of themthere were just very few exceptionshowever i wouldn't say that windows 10like completely destroyed windows 11 oranything like that they were stillactually very very close in performanceexcept for memory if you're runningwindows 11 on hardware with very lowmemory or if you care a lot about memoryin general i would be cautious aroundwindows 11. it does take up quite a bitmore ram than its predecessor now if wemove to the more technical stuff whichare the benchmarks and the numbers thisis where things get a bit more confusingwindows 11 did some things better thanwindows 10 and windows 10 did somethings better than windows 11. therereally isn't any consistency here iguess the best thing i can say inregards to the benchmarks is that ifyou're doing low level single core taskswindows 11 does a slightly better jobdoing that on the other hand windows 10does a slightly better job doingmulti-core related tasks however againthe difference in performance isminuscule overall though if i had tochoose one winner it would have to bewindows 10. it either outperforms ordoes just as well as windows 11 in themajority of my tests but i'm sticking tomy same old statement don't choose anoperating system solely for itsperformance first priority should be itsfeatures and reliability speed shouldcome afterwards so hopefully this videogives a better idea on how performancecompares on both windows 10 and 11. likesubscribe and thanks for watching
