If you don't want to buy a new computer or give up an efficient interface that you love, then don't upgrade to Windows 11.

Windows 10 does everything just as well, and in some cases even better.

You’ll never see a Microsoft Windows upgrade that isn't met with vociferous negative reactions, and while Windows 11 hasn't encountered as much vitriol as some past versions of the operating system, that doesn't mean it's all rosy.

Another failing is that the Taskbar calendar doesn’t let you add or see events as it does in Windows 10.

Microsoft is backtracking on this one, however, returning the capability in future Windows 11 builds, but I still see the universal No symbol when I try to drag a file onto an app icon in the taskbar.

Yes, you can press a Taskbar icon or use Windows Key-S to show the search box in Windows 11, but there’s nothing like having a search box there all the time, in the same place, waiting for your queries.

I’ve written about the frustrating experience of using Windows 11 on a tablet, and though Microsoft claims to have improved it, I find the opposite.

If you are one of these people, there’s your reason not to upgrade to Windows 11.

As with the other OSes, signing in to a Microsoft account brings benefits, including OneDrive backup, Store apps, Xbox games, Microsoft Family parental controls, and Phone Link for using your Android phone functions on your PC.

In Windows 10, you tap the speaker icon to adjust the sound, the Wi-Fi button to change the Wi-Fi, and the battery icon to see your power situation.

The biggest ones to leave Windows in version 11 are the Timeline, Live Tiles, and Internet Explorer.

With this one I'm sort of playing the devil’s advocate, since I abhorred the endlessly deep right-click context menus that any apps could add to the File Explorer’s right-click context menu in previous versions of Windows.

If that irks you (as it does some users, based on web forums and comment sections like ours), you have one more small reason not to upgrade.

If you’re content with Windows 10, as I am, there’s very little reason to upgrade.
