What will you do? Upgrade to Windows 11 instant on October 14 or wait until next another year ???

P.S.
I was already worried because my PC is not yet supported by Windows 11, so I have time to buy a new PC. Thank you for everyone's answers

but it's a rude that Windows 11 requires a new and more powerful PC, because not everyone can buy a new PC just for Windows 11, terrible company

Still using Win 10, with the additional year of support that is available for free. I won't change to Win 11 until absolutely forced to, as I'll have to buy several pieces of third party software to restore that OS into something that suits my usage. Win 11 by default dumbs everything down to smartphone levels compared to Win 10, and that's not acceptable to me.

Wait another 4 years. Support actually doesn;'t end uintil 2026 What ends now is FREE support and I think this is MS just trying a new revenue stream.

I just upgraded to Windows 11.. I don't see what is wrong with it. Seems fine to me.

The Steam client will continue running on Windows 10 64-bit and 32-bit games will continue to be supported.

Only Windows 10 32bit support is being dropped.

Keep using Windows 10 N LTSC.

Either I’d upgrade or I might use the search bar for this same thread topic before making a new one.

Upgraded to 11 already in 2021 so not really changes for me tbh
I do suggest for those on 10 and cannot upgrade to 11 to just grab the 1 year ESU if possible tho

Still on a computer that does not support Windows 11. Not upgrading from Windows 10 to do so.

Does nothing to me. Been main using Linux for some time now, use Windows 11 for online games.

I'll be using Windows 10 as much as possible, it has the best UI and functionality for me.
A bit later might change on some of my PCs to Fedora or Steam OS

With some tweaks, you can make Win 11 work exactly like Win 10. I don't even notice a difference between my gaming rig on 11 and a personal PC on 10 anymore.
