Out of the loop: Why is Windows 11 discussion trending over the past few months? It was released 4 years ago, and the most notable changes from the previous edition are a tabbed file browser, and the taskbar icons are now in the middle.

It's not shocking they added even more bloatware to every microsoft program so even with the same OS kernel it would probably take longer. At this point it also got out of hand for Microsoft themselves if you have heard how they are going to speed up the explorer. Not by making it faster but by preloading it on startup so it feels snappier, there are 20 years of technical debt in I think you cannot save this anymore (but I am to inexperienced to know that for sure)

I assumed it was because windows 10 went out of support a few months ago

As the other commenter said win10 went out of support and only recently ~2 months ago the company I work for migrated to win11, I think now all the people that do not want to use win11 are forced to use it and complain

Probably because people are being forced out of their Windows 10 systems, and onto an unwanted Windows 11.

Also, you seem to skip other notable changes like enforced spam and enforced Copilot and enforced online registration.

Ah thank you! That explains it.

I see a Copilot icon in the sys try I didn't put there and is unwelcome, but haven't clicked it. Worrying.

Windows 11 doesn't support Intel CPUs older than 8th gens. Linux is no longer an alternative, it's a lifeline for many old yet very capable machines.

What is Microsoft trying to do by ending Windows 10 support?

I believe it does, but only from a clean install, rather than an in-place upgrade; I ran into this a few years ago.
