I still have windows 10. How do we feel about Windows 11?

Have been wondering if I should upgrade. I've seen a lot of posts about always on AI stuff after quickly searching. I hate AI and don't want it in my OS. Is there a way to get rid of it? Is Windows 11 as intrusive as I have read? Am I better off staying at 10? Initially it told me I wasn't eligible to upgrade but it now asks me every couple months.

    Yes, Windows 11 is becoming deeply integrated with AI. Microsoft's public direction for Windows is to become an "Agentic OS" – an operating system where AI can perform tasks automatically . Features like Recall (which takes periodic screenshots of your activity), Copilot (the system-wide AI assistant), and local AI models running directly on your device are now core components of the OS .
