Windows 11 is, imo, mostly a nothing-burger compared to 10. It does make changes, some of which are nice, but it's overall fairly minor so far.

Unlike Vista and 8, nothing broke and everything is where I expect, so I've stuck with it.

Windows 11 requires significantly more advanced hardware and power to even be installed. Meanwhile, you could install Windows 10 on an WinXP-era netbook and it would be functional, if laggy on 2GB RAM.

It doesn't seem to require anything more, except maybe the whole TPM 2.0 thing.

Who is running 2GB of ram these days? Win 11 recommends 4GB, and imo that's very little on a modern computer. 8GB for casual use, 16 for anything more intensive.
