I'm curious, are the changes that Windows 11 brings (e.g., system requirements, interface) actually contributing to performance, or are they just visual tweaks? Overall, do these innovations make sense, or is this just a forced update? Do you think there's real benefit to be had here?
Is Windows 11 unnecessary?

Are you talking about the debate on whether the new hardware restrictions in Windows 11 (like TPM 2.0 or mandatory Secure Boot) actually add real value or are just an excuse to push new hardware? Because there's a key point there: if Microsoft tightens the circle with those requirements, aren't they prioritizing security over accessibility? A lot of people with perfectly functional Windows 10 machines are being forced to be left behind because they don't have a TPM 2.0 chip (which many older laptops don't include), which in practice means the system becomes *less inclusive* under the guise of "advanced security."
But even assuming those measures do reduce attack vectors, did regular home users really need that level of protection? Many were already running Windows 10 without serious malware issues. The doubt then is whether the system is designed more for *"corporate security"* (where TPM and Secure Boot do make a difference) than for the average user, who maybe just wants a stable OS without spending money on new hardware. Aren't we looking at a case where Microsoft sacrifices flexibility in favor of a more controlled (and controllable) model?
