Microsoft has to keep upgrading for multiple reasons. Some are the legit reasons trying to be a more secure OS.

I had to update my QuickBooks to the current version to continue to be able to download the bank data feeds. I keep my Win 10 at the latest version. Even my old less used computer. It is so old it is just a 4 core CPU and it is pretty slow. I keep it up to date and keep using it only for a few mapping programs that are way out of date. Those programs have some functions that work great but to update to the current version is 10s of thousands of dollars. For something I use once per month on average, that is insane expensive.

That old computer was one I built in 2010 so in computer years age it is really old.

I will not jump on Win 11 right away, I will give that a few months for the initial bugs to be found. I will be upgrading.
