Windows 11 growth slows as millions stick with Windows 10

Despite Microsoft's efforts to promote the new OS, a large number of users prefer to continue using Windows 10 due to concerns about compatibility, stability, and familiarity, which impacts the overall adoption rate of Windows 11.

    There are plenty of ways to bypass the Windows 11 hardware requirements. I have configured around 50 older pc's at work to run Windows 11 25h2 with no issues, they all update without any issues and perform as they did whilst running Windows 10. The only thing I've done is increase the ram from 8Gb to 16GB just to future proof them all. Replacing spinning discs to SSD also made a major improvement
