Shall we go in? 
Why do some people stay with Windows 10?
Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025.
And then what? They don’t need security updates?
They’re probably waiting for Windows 12.
That’s still 2 years from now, plenty of time. End of support is definitely not imminent 
One good reason to stay is compatibility. Not all computers running Win 10 are compatible with Win 11.

Yes. Very right.
Unfortunately, some are stubborn and some are poor.
But they buy a smartphone for €700.
Current market division:
Windows 10 - 71,88%
Windows 11 - 13,56%
Windows 7 - 10,68%
Win8.1 - 2,7%
Win8 - 0,66%
WinXP - 0,38%
There is still a lot missing from Win11. There is too much focus on adding “AI”, adverts and gimmicks.
Meanwhile forgetting to finish the OS. It just does not yet do what Win10 can.
One thing I need to work is the ability to drag something onto an app on the taskbar and make that app pop-up. A feature that has been in the OS since Win95 days. I literally can’t do editing in MB without that little feature.

A bit of a pet peeve of mine…since you asked:
- My computer won’t run Windows 11. It’s old.
- I’m happy with Windows 10. I don’t see any value in upgrading to Windows 11.
- I have better things to do than spend time trying to find where they’ve moved the control panel and other stuff that was in Windows 98
- I’d rather spend the money on more music and storage
- most of the time I use my phone and tablet (ipad)
- I’m waiting for a intel processor without security bugs!

And I like changes and new things.
Me too. I got plenty of new stuff on my phone and my iPad…
Just don’t see anything new of interest in Windows 11 and tired of having to relearn the old stuff to get to the new stuff.

And you see.
The vast majority here have Windows 10.
Thanks to me and my Windows 11, we can test Picard.
What will happen if I install Windows Insider Preview…
wish Picard ran on iPad
That’s great

Well lets see, nothing I have supports W11.
Two of my three of my laptops started out as W7 and then converted to W10, the other (4GB) laptop started as XP then W7 then Win10. One desktop (4GB bought in 2004) may have started as XP then W7 then W10 (or it may have been w7 to start with). My main desktop was bought in 2015 with win7 then upgraded to w10. All my systems now have SSD system disks. Its a shame that the 8 year old desktop will not support w11, its an I7 with 32GB of memory. I will let the present Gen4 PCI and DDR5 memory mature for another year or so before buying a new system. The laptops will become special purpose Linux systems when w10 goes away. I also run Office 2007 which lost support some time ago.

@dashv I’m not saying Microsoft is crystal clear.
Money rules the world.
But why was Gates so spit on?
Sort of similar, though my box is slightly older and had 2gb originally!
If somebody has a small amount of RAM, I suggest entering the phrase “tiny11” into the browser.
The second thing: Windows 11 with 512Mb RAM (Will It Survive?) - 2022

The problem is not with the RAM. It is the hardware requirements. PCs that could easily run Win11 will not be able to due to lack of specific chips. The requirement of a specific type of TPM chip is being pointlessly forced on people. Especially in the current environment people can’t afford to replace perfectly good hardware just because Microsoft and the hardware manufacturers say so.

Apparently there are guides on how to get around this.
You should not have to use an unsupported hack to allow perfectly good hardware to continue to operate. Microsoft needs to drop that barrier and allow older harder to run the OS.

Agreed. Maybe there should be a security fix only release version.

May work for me, but I still don’t know why I want win11?
Why not Linux of same flavour or a Mac?
