Benefits of Windows 11 - compared to Windows 10 ? Business life: Is new always better than old?
Microsoft has informed me several times that my PC is not suitable for Windows 11. It doesn't bother me because both PC and Windows 10 are working well. I do not have any need to buy a new PC and install Windows 11 so far.
I understand that business must go on and marketing new windows versions is important to Microsoft as well as planning and marketing new PC's is important to PC factories.
In n commercial world, newness is important value regardless of is new os. or hw better than old.
Computer business is not the most eager pushing novelties to markets. I think that for garment business it is lifeline. I've noticed during decades that e.g. I cannot find pullover I'd want to get, because fashion has changed and there simply doesn't exist any pullovers available. It looks like an old Soviet economical system. For this year there are only black boots, perhaps after 5 years there are brown boots available.
In vehicle business it's the same. Every year we get new automobile models. Sometimes I've seen that some good and useful features has been left away from new models. Why? Because every year must be new models and when there is no useful features let's take some feature away. May next year or after several years that good feature is back again.
That's business life. 😄
I have almost 30 years old outdoor sweater. It's zipper has stuck. Thank God, here in Kuopio, Finland we have a small shop "Nappi ja nauha" (Button and ribbon). They can fix it and it costs only 5 €. Otherwise that sweater is good, but certainly out of fashion. Perhaps after some years it is really fashionable, who knows.
Sorry, my text is not strictly concentrated in operating systems or computers. But in business life there are similar marketing ways.
I wish you dear reader God's blessings (joy, peace and power)!

- Pekka SevantoCopper ContributorThank you for your answer. Probably on October I'll start checking Win 11. But that I'll do to another PC, because I don't want any risk that my normal PC needs shall be disturbed. I'm now 77 years and have worked with computers since 1967. Now I've been retired appr. 20 years but still following computer business and helping some friends with their computer or mobile phone problems.
Greetings from Finland!- DeletedThank you this is very reasonable!
It is funny to prove that on an old computer, someone can install Windows11, but why do it if Windows10 is good and stable.

Pekka SevantoIf you're actually interested in it, typically you have to use a method like this to upgrade it, which in your case you would probably need an OEM key to activate it: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-11/the-i7-7700k-meet-the-minimun-requierments-to-run-win11-but-its/m-p/2906782/highlight/true#M1040
NOTE: On an entirely new computer that doesn't come with Windows 11 pre-installed, you could create installation media (with the latest Cumulative Updates, ) enter in the OEM key when Setup is running, activate it when you get internet access ( WiFi / Ethernet, Mobile Internet, etc. ) At that point the license is tied to that one motherboard, and it can't be transferred to another computer. Usually the free upgrade periods are the best time to install Windows 11, even if you wanted to revert back to Windows 10 for some period of time: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-11/example-iso-patch-guide-for-windows-11-64-bit-21h2/m-p/3574791/highlight/true#M4464
- Pekka SevantoCopper ContributorThank you for your answer. I decided that probably on October I'll start checking Windows 11, but before that I'll take another computer to Win 11 tests. I want to be sure that my real PC needs can be done every day. This Win 10 version with my Fujitsu PC is stable, fast enough, so I'm satisfied in it.
