There's no urgency to upgrade to Windows 11 so this doesn't make any sense.

My boss got a windows laptop (11). She was having trouble logging in. Our IT guys solution was moving it to windows 10.

MS owns gaming but they can’t seem to get out of their own way in making a respectful OS without ads, forced online accounts and telemetry. It’s kinda embarrassing in the corporate world when people open edge to the default edge home page..

I have a steam deck but my Linux laptop games well.

There's urgency to stop using Windows 7 though. Qt has already dropped it, and Chrome (used in a lot of 3rd party programs like Steam will be dropping it in less than half a year).

(And Windows 8+ is not acceptable, 11 is just even worse than 10.)
