I had thought that Windows 10 was going to be the last version of Windows, and that in the future, Microsoft would merely upgrade it as required. But seemingly, things have changed, and Windows 11 is on the way.
From what I’ve read, Windows 11 has some cosmetic changes but also upgrades the security features. I really don’t know why people get so excited about cosmetic changes (oops, sorry, it’s a “redesigned and refreshed look”), but I suppose it’s not limited to software – think clothes and cars!
But scrolling down the Microsoft link there’s a fairly unsubtle suggestion that you should buy a new computer so as to take advantage of Windows 11!
However, existing users of Windows 10 supposedly will be able to upgrade, hopefully for free – so long as their device supports it. I checked and found that the processor in my not-so-old (but mid-range) computer was on the list, but I’m not sure about a couple of the other requirements.
Support for Windows 10 is supposed to be available until 2025. It sounds a long way away, but the years do pass so quickly. However, based on past experience, there’s a good chance I’ll have to have up-graded my computer by then anyway but hopefully not just to get Windows 11.
