I really am not trying to be obnoxious here. Not in the least. But I have a hard time understanding all the hatred of the Windows 11 requirements.
If you don't like them, just run Windows 10. Or Mac OS. Or Linux. Or whatever. 11 won't be suitable for everyone!
The problem is that no matter what you do, there will always, always, always, be those who don't like the decisions made.
Are there things about Windows 11 that I personally don't like? Absol-freakin-lutely! But, at least for me, it was compelling enough that it is all that I run. The only time that I ever see 10 any longer is in a VM.
Back in the days of Windows XP, every Windows operating system (95, 98 etc) had to be paid for. There was no free upgrade. But at the time, most people liked XP and wouldn't upgrade no matter what. It became very vulnerable to hackers and Microsoft were forced into letting people upgrade for free as the infected XP owners were risking messing up the internet completely.
