Yes, You Will Update to Windows 11

It seems that Microsoft is now forcing users to accept the latest version of Windows.

However, you can avoid this forced update by pausing Windows 11 updates. Doing so will also prevent you from getting security updates and improvements. - https://www.minitool.com/news/users-are-forced-to-install-windows-11-updates.html

It's CHANGE!
But resistance is futile. You WILL be assimilated.
My laptop has Win10 but my MacBook/Parallels has Win11. Have not seen any issues yet. But it doesn't get used a lot.

If you don't want to upgrade you can prevent it to upgrade. Before I retired the Lenovo laptop the company bought for me keep trying to upgrade but every time it failed and had to revert back to Windows 10. The hardware is good for Windows 11 but it just couldn't upgrade. I didn't know why. But because it kept upgrading and wasted time and slow my computer down as it kept downloading and upgrading. I searched the web I found that I could make it not doing that by modify some settings in the registry. It worked and stayed with Windows 10 and didn't try to upgrade any more.
When I retired the company let me keep the computer except that I have to return the licence for a few software that I had on it which totalled more than $20,000. After I uninstalled all those softwares and transfered the licenses to another fellow employee out of curiousity I changed the registry back and it upgraded again and this time it went thru just fine. So I now have Windows 11 on it.

Haha. We lost control of the computer when Windows was introduced.

I'm in the process of putting a new Dell Optiplex, with all SSD drives, into use. My old Optiplex was/is nine years old and was running Win10. I wanted to upgrade that one to Win11, but the old processor will not run it, and the form factors have changed. Upshot? It's not just MS. Processors, drives, memory, software, etc., all are changing constantly. I transferred all my apps and data to the new one, and now I'm painfully doing a full back-up to iDrive.
The rate of change is what drives folks nuts.

I don't see what the problem is, I upgraded the day it came out and it works fine.
I do have some older tablets, laptops and one old desktop that is a dedicated scanning machine still on Win10. I have thousands of slides, negatives and old photos + relatives asking me to scan theirs for them. Not only that, but I limit myself to no more than 1–2 hours a day, a couple of days a week, so I don't fall out of my chair from being bored into a trance and crack my head open.

When Windows 11 came out, the update told me that my hardware was not worthy of running Windows 11. I'm OK with Windows 10 (heck, I was fine with Windows XP)!

Hang loose, they're expecting to release Windows 12 in the Fall of 2025.
(I ran Win 7 on one box until last year (about 10-12 years).

It’s not so much whether it works or not but whether it’s safe.

And when would one know?
I've been using Win 11 since July of 2022.
But I also use Norton...
