I do not have this blue circle icon showing on any of my computers. Does your computer meet the minimum requirements to upgrade to Windows 11?
I have one laptop which met the requirements for Windows 11, but when I installed it, the graphics driver worked poorly. I was unable to get it to work properly even after going to a lot of trouble. To ensure that we can keep using this computer with Windows 10 after October 14, 2025 I paid about $20 for a license for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC which will receive security updates until 2032.
To do this I had to do a clean install. To save time I had saved all of the Windows 10 drivers that had been installed on the computer before I updated it to Windows 11. There are some very simple commands that allow you to save and restore all of your drivers.
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC is very bare boned as it is intended for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) who build and sell dedicated appliances and devices such as cash machines etc... But it is very easy to add which ever additional components that you desire. There are many instructions and videos that tell how to do this.
Apparently my PC meets the minimum requirements , hence the MS message saying I can install . I don’t want 11 . I know those who already have 11 will be automatically upgraded to the latest version . My question is will Windows 10 users be forced to download 11 , or , as it has been for a couple of years now , an option ?
