I mean, you'd have to want to activate a Windows 11 build in the first place. I'm doing just fine on Windows 10 and don't see any reason at all to "upgrade". Let's see if they can manage not to bake ads and tracking into whatever comes after 11 and I'll consider it then.
Not a problem right now but Windows 10 is reaching its end of support two years from now in Oct 2025.
When Windows 10 launched, wasn't it said that this would be the "last" version of Windows and it would just get continually updated?
Personally, that is when I intend to switch to Linux. Will give 2 years of more proton, and wine, updates for me.
Skip every other windows version. 11 is a skip version
Everything since 7 has been a skip. 10 only seemed good for a short while because of how poorly 8 was received.
But that didn't last long when MS kept updating it with more and more bloat, more and more telemetry, and more and more dark patterns.
When Win10 came out, it was more performant than Win7. Now it bogs down and feels sluggish even on systems with gen4 NVME drives.
There are some aspects of Win11 that I like, but they took the bad stuff with 10 and turned it up to 11 (hehe)
TBH, Win10 was a skip version too. Don't think I've ever had THAT many problems with a Windows system I willingly used. Even Vista was better.
