Your PC is pushing for Windows 11, but it might be slowing things down. Checking performance, gaming, and temperatures could help decide if upgrading is worth it.
Windows 10 and 11 differences are minimal. The issues people mention tend to be exaggerated, similar to any other transition between versions. I've switched from 11 to 8.1 and back to 10 multiple times while both were supported. Besides launching 11 with outdated certificates that caused problems for some apps—like the Snipping Tool, which fixed itself after a week—it hasn't changed much compared to version 10. I still use my older work machine on Windows 10 in the office and my newer one at home, feeling comfortable with either.
It's reasonable to note that Windows 10 will keep getting security patches through 2025, meaning Windows 11 currently lacks that benefit. You can stop updates by setting your device incompatible. Turn off fTPM and/or Secure Boot in the BIOS settings. Warning: Avoid disabling fTPM if you're using drive encryption (Bitlocker), as this would remove your encryption keys and make the drive unreadable, rendering Windows unusable.
