Windows 11 is not that much different from windows 10. They shift things to the center and reformat some choices but it isn’t really very different. I don’t think it’s a big deal to upgrade but they keep telling me my computer is not good enough. If they want people to upgrade they should make it compatible with existing hardware.

I agree. Granted, there comes a point where very old hardware simply cannot do the things required by a new OS release. That's true of all operating systems, and all hardware, eventually.

But with the Win10->Win11 upgrade, Microsoft tilted the balance arbitrarily far and I think that was a mistake. A lot of former Windows users and businesses have switched to MacOS or Linux, or are planning to, rather than buy all new Win11-compatible hardware.

You can install windows 11 on almost any computer doesn’t matter how old but it has to be a fresh install , just buy another hard drive to put window 11 on and safe your old one then swap back and forth , https://pureinfotech.com/create-windows-11-bootable-usb-unsupported-pc-rufus/
