I hate the fact that when going through your photos in Windows 11, there is no Thumbnail view.
When viewing the photos directory in Explorer, go to the top menu for VIEW, select small, medium, or large icons, pouf, thumbnails.

Thanks I was going to explain my earlier comment but not near my PC now

As a programmer, there are quit a few internal improvements, which mean faster response if properly configured. Like Windows 10, Windows 11 had a shaky start, but those are there for most things. They have been rewriting some kernel and library modules in Rust, which is a completely memory safe language so this will significantly reduce any crashes (I haven't had one in more than a year. ).Windows 10 loses support in 2025 which means no more security updates.

The biggest issue I have with Windows versions is when drivers for peripherals are not recompiled by the manufacturer for newer OS versions. The equipment can become obsolete unless the drivers can be installed with a compatibility mode. I now avoid brands that chose not to maintain their drivers, turning their otherwise good hardware into e-waste. This is not MS' fault, but the idea that my otherwise decent computer will not run W11 will have me turn to Linux eventually. On the other hand, I believe my one remaining Win 7 machine get occasional security updates. Perhaps MS will not abandon 10 completely in 2025 given the large number of pc's out there that fail the Win 11 compatibility test.

How else are they going to make more money off you, if they don't keep you on the upgrade merry-go-round.

If you buy a computer w.o. 11 or 12, be sure it can run 11 or 12. Not all 10 computers can be upgrade to 11, some security feature in the Bios, from my experience, as much age as maker related.
That is because Windows 11 and 12 require a TPM2.0 chip and most hardware that came with Windows 10 never had this chip.
How ever if your computer has the TPM1.2 chip you can indeed install either Windows 11 or 12 if you are doing a clean install. Of course Windows isn't telling people that.
If your machine is less then 5 years old it should already have a TPM chip. To find out if your Windows 10 PC already has it go to Start > Settings > Update and Security > Windows Security > Device Security.
Can you add a tpm chip to your motherboard. The answer is both yes and no. If you have a mother board with the tpm header then you can, if not you are SOL.

The only ones that will continue to get updates are those on Windows 10 until 2030. Windows 12 is on the horizon so they will not maintain 10. Only security updates will be provided.
Linux has many good versions out there. There is one version, LinuxFx which looks just like Windows and you can run some Windows programs on it.
I use Ubuntu and really like it. Most modern Linux editions can be completely run from the menus like Windows. The kernel is constantly being worked on to bring new features and bug fixes.

Computers aren't forever.
I understand what you mean, however, I must express a bit of frustration. I built a PC in 1999 that won't die. Windows 98 was the hottest OS on the market if that gives you an idea of the age. When I built it, I only used what was considered the best components. Over the years, I have tweaked it with additional hardware and software upgrades, but the basic system (motherboards and components) is the same.
I can't justify getting rid of this computer as long as it does the job. Unfortunately, I did such a good job that I've named it the Energizer Bunny. It just keeps going and going. There ... I feel better for venting that.

I use both 10 and 11. W11 has Photo and file software that , in my view , is not as user friendly as that of W10. Ultimately though you need to move on.

Other than not being able to have my taskbar on the right side of the screen and Win 11's terrible start screen I'm relatively happy with Win 11. But I should mention I purchased START11 to get back my familiar Win 10 start screen.

This is exactly why I refuse to upgrade to Win 11. I have numerous computers. Just bought a new one with Win 10 on it. I fail to understand why they built it to not be able to move the task bar to the sides, only top and bottom. That’s an absolute deal breaker for me. Hopefully, Win 12 will fix this.

Interesting... I wonder how many people prefer the task bar on the side.
My wife and I prefer it on the bottom.

Definitely a personal preference. I have multiple monitors side be side. I find it much better for me to have the tool bars between them, rather than on the bottom. Saves time and movement distance. Muscle memory make it a habit for me.
