I was able to upgrade to Windows 11 on my dinosaur desktop (at least 10 years old) without any issues. Been able to keep it updated, too, for at least the last 2 years.
There are ways to bypass certain hardware restrictions, and I'm sure plenty of how-tos are still available.
No need to sweat it.
Some people just don’t want to switch. I find windows 10 is still better than windows 11. I only updated on my gaming PC because it automatic updated.
W11 has some nice features that match GNOME and KDE desktops, but it also some terrible buggy stuff going on. And the Office Ai.exe and relates AI junk bogs down the system so badly. Thankfully I'm able to move everything to Linux for home use.
I installed bazzite recently and trying it out. Working well with game scope on nvidia card. But still has some graphical glitches. It’s almost there. Only issue I have now is I just got into PCVR and Linux support is lacking.
I'm on opensuse, which has a direct download from nvidia repos, it has been great. Almost all my steam games work. One complains it needs some unity c library , prompts to install then it runs. On the next run it says same thing, but since it is installed dialog prompts yo unistall, I say OK and game runs LOL
