Has it been confirmed anywhere that Win10 installations won't be automatically updated to Win11? Given the automatic nature of Win10 updates I'd expect that I'm waking up one morning, and be greeted by Win11 on my gaming PC (and since Win11 is just a marketing name for what's normally a Win10 feature update, this is most likely to happen, at least for Win10 Home users).

I might be wrong but I don't think that Win10 even updates itself to new releases. I stayed on Win10 of 2017 year for 3 years. Of course it was receiving updates and there was option for major update, but it never forced me to do so.

The rollout of Windows 10 itself contradicts that. Silently switching from opt in to opt out prompts, so people trained over months to click away the Windows 10 adware spam would suddenly find themselves with a Windows 10 installation.

Obviously an unsupported pc will not auto update to Windows 11.

But they did exactly this before, upgrading unsupported win7 machines to an unusable win10.

Yeah obviously, but I have a supported PC and don't want to update to Win11 either :)
