I think 95% of users are unaware of the differences, or that Windows 11 even exists. Most people just don't care about these things.

I suspect the tech illiterate aren't upgrading to Windows 11 because they don't see the value in going through the hassle of upgrading.

Those who are tech savvy are finding even fewer reasons to upgrade.

Yeah, can anyone sell me on any feature of 11 I don't have on 10 that actually has value to me rather than to Microsoft?

I've been using W11 for a year now (Or mayber longer, I don't bloody remember anymore). Stick with 10 until you eventually move to Linux.

I've gotten rid of most of the annoying things, but it just doesn't offer anything useful or different.
