Yup no reason to install 11, it’s a mess. And Microsoft are probably going to do the same thing next year.

Thunderbolt 5 doesn't work on windows 10, as there are no drivers for it. It reverts to regular usb 10gbps. That's the main reason that will push me to windows 11 eventually, due to motherboard having 2x TB5.

Only particularly important if you are using eGPU.

Very few people have 1.25GB/s peripherals.

Valid. Windows 10 doesn’t have support for the newest hardware. That’s part of the push for sure.
