As we all know that Microsoft recently released Windows 11 22H2 Major Update, in which the company has added many new features and also solved many bugs. It’s been almost 1 year since Windows 11 was launched and I have been using it for 1 year and I think Windows 11 is much better than Windows 10. But, there is doubt – So, does Windows 11 dominate in terms of battery life?
Neowin tested the battery life of Windows 11 and Windows 10
- Windows 11 21H2 (original version)
- Windows 11 2022 Update (version 22H2)
- Windows 11 Dev (Build 25201)
- Windows 10 (version 21H2)
To make this test accurate, Neowin ran a fresh install of each system on four different partitions, then boosted PCMark10 from 100% to battery drain 3 times, logged into a Microsoft account, and installed the latest version of the driver. This type of testing tool is used, with no additional third-party software, for each installation.
