Is it necessary to upgrade to Windows 11 for an i7-9700K + RTX 2080 Super configuration?

Hello everyone, my current setup includes an Intel Core i7-9700K processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super graphics card. My primary use is gaming, and I'm unsure whether upgrading to Windows 11 would enhance my gaming experience or improve compatibility.

  • The i7-9700K + RTX 2080S system is upgradeable to Windows 11 (requires enabling TPM 2.0/UEFI Secure Boot), but Windows 10 support extends until October 2025, so upgrading can be postponed for now.
