    They're getting there with windows 11… first it was 'hey you're compatible with windows 11' now they've stepped up to a full screen non-skippable screen a big 'upgrade to windows 11' but still with a button to stay on windows 10 hidden in the corner. It's only a matter of time before that button disappears.

      I tried the Win11 compatibility app once, it said i wasn't compatible due to some BIOS settings I needed to change. Nah, I'm good, and it hasn't bugged me to upgrade since.

        I made mine deliberately incompatible by disabling the fTPM but started getting the upgrade prompts recently.

      I'm almost glad my current hardware doesn't support Windows 11. No matter how much it tries, it can't force me to have different hardware.

        I remember a lot of folks waking up one day to find their system had borked itself overnight installing Win 10 without their permission. It doesn't matter to Microsoft if it'll actually work.
