  1. Agree with you in that if you have a PC that is on Windows 11 and is fine, keep at it, you've got a year and a half to upgrade. I had to upgrade because I had to replace an older Dell Optiplex that is too old for Windows 11, bought it used in 2019 refurbished, and was a 4th gen I5, so can't run Windows 11 as is. So the new machine I got to replace it is a 7th gen i5, and is also a Dell Optiplex, both SFF machines and it was also refurbished, but came with Windows 11, got it last October and it also has an NVMe drive. The previous Dell had a SATA SSD as it did not have NVMe. Windows 10/11, does not matter as far as basic usage goes as they are very similar, yes, some things have changed and with careful research, you can get rid of many items and reduce the snooping from Microsoft. But once done, it's done and you should not have to deal with them again, so what's the big deal? I did briefly use Windows 7, but an ISO that was likely non legit as Microsoft caught it and shut it down, had to go back to Vista (yes), but by this point, the original hard drive in my very old Dell Studio XPS was failing and got it to limp along until we can replace it. This was in 2019, hence the 4th gen i5 Dell. The old XPS was the first gen i7. That old i5 based Dell was to be a short term replacement, but 4 years in, we realized I had to upgrade, and tried to do so then, but funds were not to be had, and add to that, the computer had to be replaced suddenly, and thus picked up another SFF Dell, which is the current one, and "fell" Windows 11. I now have an 8th gen i5 based Dell Latitude with 11 too. So, eh... it's all Windows and for the most part, works fine.
