Remember that Windows 10 became available in 2014, which means that it enjoyed almost seven years in the spotlight before Windows 11 took its place. While the tech firm eventually managed to iron out those issues, it took time, and now its apparently the most beloved current version of Windows. I remember that when Windows 10 released, there was massive backlash against forced updates and telemetry functionalities that Microsoft introduced to the OS. People aren't just going to migrate from an OS that they have come to love just because the new one has some shiny AI and cloud features that they may not even use. With Windows 12 expected to arrive next year - merely three years after the release of Windows 11 -, this behavior isn't going to change. While the Redmond tech firm has been adding back some functionality, it's obvious that people have become accustomed to, and even prefer, lots of aspects of Windows 10 and are not ready to switch over just because Microsoft says that Windows 11 is more secure. This isn't only about a change in interface either, there have been lots of complaints about reduced functionality in the name of simplicity. Microsoft overhauled Windows' general interface and UX in a major way with Windows 11, and let's just say, not every change has been been responded to favorably by its customers. However, one thing that has become abundantly clear since Windows 11's release is that Microsoft's customers ( including maybe even myself) are resistant to change.
