somewhat misleading.

MS is doing a rolling roll-out of the free W11 upgrade. It’s not supposed to be complete until mid-2022 so the numbers will be down.

https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/windows-11-has-arrived-but-heres-why-not-everyone-will-get-the-upgrade-yet/

I have W-11 and so far, no complaints. Not sure why I needed a hardware upgrade.
Seems like it’s giving a look and feel of a smartphone.
Right-click context menu is different - yet, if you select more options the traditional context menu is displayed. It seems to be that way for most functions to include the start page contents.

Now I have to figure out if I want to move stuff from my W-10 box to my Win-11 box.

Finding or changing option in windows XP was a snap. It sucks in windows 10 big time. And no matter how you set things windows 10 does what every it wants anyways. I can’t even get it wake up from sleep without having to hit enter a bunch of times to get through all the screens. Even after changing deep settings it will not obey. And I as I said... Finding crap is really hard. And it has a thousand privacy settings. to many to even understand. If some are turned off then some features simply won’t work. The updates always cause problems too. It is no wonder some people refuse to leave XP or windows 7. Sadly there are reasons why many people have to upgrade from a software or hardware standpoint.

Not only that, but big enterprises don’t just role out new OS’s at the drop of the hat - they take many, many months - even years- of testing and trials making sure everything (the enterprise apps) still works properly - last thing big companies want is 50,000 users calling their help desk with problems.

And in any case the default Windows configurations are inferior to what solid freeware can provide, thank God.
