No problem. I’m still staying on 10 though.
Yeah, same for me.
Getting rid of the automated 11 upgrade was a pain already, took me months to finally find what was making it resurface all the time.
Thing is, I wasn't even opposed to it originally. It just didn't work and failed systematically. And my PC wasn't even supposed to support it, since I don't have TPM 2.0, so no idea why it even tried.
Now with all the reports of new ways to fuck with privacy I don't even see any reason to upgrade.
I think they removed that requirement recently.. I killed the upgrade prompts originally by disabling the fTPM but they've come back in the last month or so.
Weird. The lack of TPM 2.0 never prevented the upgrade process in my case, but once I disabled the upgrade, it didn't come back (though I couldn't tell you exactly what worked for me, I googled that some time ago).
However, for a while now Windows Update has been telling me my PC didn't have the minimal requirements to execute Windows 11. Sure enough, PC health check app tells me it's just lacking TPM. Gee, maybe it would have helped to check that before trying back then...
