(37,463 posts)Good question.
To me and other people like me (Windows OS geeks and power users), upgrading to Windows 11 is no big deal. You can either do it or not. Very simple. No anxiety. You upgrade. Or not.
To the rest of DU ? The very first question out of the gate is, Do I have to have this bullshit ? Why is MS forcing this on me ? I've been here almost 17 years, and I know how 99% of DU is on this issue.
You see my answer. Very clearly. If someone misses my answer, they lack reading skills and/or good reading glasses and comprehension.
If I had treated this upgrade as no big deal, THAT... would have been the first question and comment. Now that DU and others know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they are not compelled to upgrade, everyone relaxes and either stays with Windows 10 or upgrades.
I know how most of DU feels on this issue. If an "upgrade" to Windows 11 was mandatory, there would have been howls of protest and the entire thread would have been consumed with THAT issue.
I think I've explained my reasoning very thoroughly. It obviously worked.
