The discussions about the latest system have really heated up. Do you think Windows 11 was born out of necessity or is it a step towards the future with modern approaches? Performance losses, compatibility issues, and mandatory TPM 2.0 are especially hot topics. Some users even prefer to stick with Windows 10. What’s your take on this? What should those considering the new system keep in mind?
Is Windows 11 unnecessary or the future?

TPM 2.0 requirement and hardware needs make Windows 11 seem like Apple’s M1/M2 chips. Just as Apple shifted from Intel to fully embrace its own ecosystem, Microsoft is positioning Windows’ future around security and performance-focused architecture. But there’s a major difference: Apple controls its hardware, while Microsoft relies on PC manufacturers, leading to compatibility issues and messy updates. So while Windows 11 may seem inspired by Apple’s standards, the fragmented market makes it feel more like a "forced upgrade" than a necessity.
As for performance losses, some benchmarks show gains over Windows 10, but real-world use (especially for gaming and heavy software) hasn’t seen a big leap yet. In fact, older hardware sometimes can’t reach full performance on Windows 11—similar to how Linux struggles with WiFi drivers on old MacBooks. Ultimately, while the forced-upgrade feeling is debatable for home users, in the corporate world (thanks to TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot), it’s seen as the future trend.
