Comment on Why does Microsoft want me to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11?

That’s not a belief. It’s a fact.
As to why Microsoft wants you to upgrade IDK, maybe because it helps OEMs sell more machines, each with a paid Windows license?
How does that connect to me being borderline tricked into accepting a free “upgrade” on my desktop PC, in my house, over the top of my existing Windows 10 install. They think I’m going to get “hooked” on the new Windows bells and whistles, and go begging my boss to upgrade our workstations, at the office?
Microsoft may also have upped the level of advertising and found more ways to monetize it.
I think this is the bingo. The new version has more and more ways to make money off of user data, selling you services, whatever.

Maybe it fucks up your computer, especially if it’s an older one, so you give up on it, and buy a new one that just works.

I doubt it. It’ll just be bloated and annoying, for no reason. Even on the new machines.
