Final thoughts

It is not a hidden fact that Microsoft is deliberately pushing users to move over to Windows 11 from Windows 10 by showing them renewed pop-ups. Microsoft has also been alleged to sabotage the older version of Windows OS via updates so that users start using Windows 11. I am not sure how much weight that rumor holds, but if you wish to enjoy some cool new features then you should definitely upgrade to Windows 11.
