Huh, and I've never even used Windows 11...
-
I didn't even know it had released yet. And at my job they're still using 10.
-
11 is almost just a reskin of 10
-
Except with a lot of features removed.

In fairness I’ve been a Mac user since 2007, but even with my occasional flirtations with Windows, I’ve not used anything higher than 10.
My wife’s machine is running 10. I heard her trying to install 11 via a VM the other day to see how she got on with it, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone swear at a computer quite so much in quite so short a period of time.
Her machine is still running 10.

At my job there are many computers with Windows 7 still. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as the software we need keeps working.
-
Are those computers connected to the internet? Security updates for windows 7 were stopped in 2020.
-
Microsoft will support 7 patches if you pay them
-
That ship just sailed.
What are the coverage dates for the three Windows 7 ESU SKUs?
- Windows 7 Extended Security Updates 2020: January 14, 2020 - January 12, 2021
- Windows 7 Extended Security Updates 2021: January 13, 2021 - January 11, 2022
- Windows 7 Extended Security Updates 2022: January 12, 2022 - January 10, 2023

It really doesn't to businesses. Many places I've worked didn't upgrade the OS until they did a hardware refresh.

Neither of my old Windows boxes will run 11, so they won't run 12 either. And I'm oh so broken up about it.
-
Looks like your boxes will soon need to meet a new antarctic friend.

Most of my machines, including my daily driver, run Linux. I've got one old windows laptop that I use (via NoMachine) to run Fusion360 on. And we have a 5+ year old Surface Pro that my wife uses for Dice Maker (a windows only program).

I used it for about 6 months, and I just couldn't take it. I wiped it and installed Windows 10.
