Windows 11 as upgrade versus native OS? Speed difference?

I read somewhere that for people that upgraded their Windows 10 to 11 it runs significantly slower after compared to computers that had Windows 11 pre-installed when they got the computer. Anyone else hear this?
 
All depends on the hardware it has. Quad core cpu, with 16gb ram and an SSD will run just fine. Entry level machines will have issues.
 
Also, an upgrade rather than a clean install could also show potential issues that were hidden until the upgrade to Windows 11.

But then I would say John would be correct on the hardware piece. If it had Windows 10 before then you are probably looking at a 3-4 year minimum old machine so there may be some difference if you are doing an in-place upgrade vs. clean install. Drivers could be a factor also (i.e. older hardware may not be supported with Windows 11 drivers).
