Windows 11 adds nothing good to 10, and introduces a bunch of highly anti-consumer features that are difficult if not impossible to disable. There’s absolutely no good reason to “upgrade” to 11 if you already have 10.
To reach their own. I don’t give a hoot about the features in Windows, as long as it runs my games. And I like the look of Windows 11 more than I do 10. So that’s good enough for me. It doesn’t affect me more than the aesthetics. To me it’s an upgrade.
Meh, OS’s don’t die at EOL. There are thousands, if not millions, of machines running Win2k that simply can’t be upgraded because they run industry systems.
And before anyone cries about security - if you’re relying on the OS for your security you’re ignoring everything else (the other layers) that are required… You’re doing it wrong.
There are thousands (tens of thousands?) of Win2k machines that can’t be upgraded because they drive industry systems. Hell, there’s Win95 machines doing the same. Their security is ensured by incorporating layers of control… As should be done with any system, commensurate with it’s risk and criticality.
If there are exploitable remote execution attacks at the OS level that’s a pretty big hole to fill in with additional measures. Anything short of totally isolated would be a risk imo.
You are also forgetting millions of consumers still running Windows XP or 7 and not upgrading not because something critical depends on it, but because “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it”.
