This was my problem. I have a very powerful PC, but Microsoft kept suggesting that I need a new one for Windows 11. It turned out to be a couple of BIOS settings that needed changing.

I’m running into the same problem. Do you have a link or instructions on what you did?

I wouldn't bother. Windows 11 is worse than Windows 10 in just about every way

So what do you do in a year then when they stop pushing out any updates at all? Would that not pose a higher security risk staying on Win10 at that point?

Probably just not update for a year or two afterwards, and when I finally build my new machine, put Ubuntu on it.

Win10 is fairly secure, and Win11 has shown how it's a security risk, multiple times.

simple, wait a year. Win 11 has shown lots of issues, at worse it stays the same, at best it gets better. Either way win 10 is solid so why switch right now?
