upgrade to Win 11?
hi, this is just a minor issue.. so basically, one of my pc is being asked by Microsoft almost every update if I want to move over to Windows 11. Currently, the pc is using Windows 10, and it's working just fine. The pc is a 10600k, it's the only pc in the house that's getting asked by Microsoft to update, because the others are too old for Win11. I did a bit of research, and there's no way to stop Microsoft from asking.
so my question is to the people who upgraded to Windows 11. Did you encounter problems with Win 11? Or is it better to stay on Windows 10?

It's better to stay on Windows 10 if you prefer the UX on Windows 10. Windows 11 does away with many QoL features like context menus, and the start menu can take some getting used to. On the other hand, Windows 11 has seen updates to improve performance; most notably, Windows 11 is optimised to properly utilise your E-cores. I've upgraded to 11 from 10 a few years ago, and while I hated the UX initially, I can still do most of my tasks without issue. It helps that I used the registry editor to get my context menus back, and nowadays, I don't really notice as much.

a little bit late to this, but there are way you can turn off the notifications with the registry or some open source software out there also capable of doing that. Don't upgrade to 11, Bloatware is a worse than 10 is one thing, but the main problem is it so baking in and removing it is much much harder compare to 10

the additional advice appreciated.
@Last Sinner stayed on Windows 7, well beyond it's expiry date as well. What ultimately forced me to switch to 10 are several factors.. malwarebytes and ESET Nod32 could no longer update themselves, and could not install certain games unless Windows 10 is the OS - for example, could not install Dead or Alive VI. With all these factors.. I switched two of the three active pc's at home to Windows 10. The third pc is on dual boot, it could boot with Win 10 or Win 7, the reason for keeping windows 7 is for being able to play old Xbox games like Otomedius - it won't run on Windows 10, need to be on W7 for it to start. @dragon1412 ok, noted. Might try that on the next time I use the 10600k. It's the only one being pestered by microsoft asking if I want Windows 11. right now, just currently using a 2600k to play gacha games. I know this thing is a dinosaur (lol), but it's fast enough and does not lag in Star Rail and Genshin. And Micrsoft does not ask if I want to put Windows 11 on it.
