Will Microsoft force you to upgrade to Windows 11 this year?

Windows 11 will arrive at the end of the year, probably around November. Microsoft has completed the base of the operating system, and in the coming months it will be testing its stability and adding new functions . In addition, we have learned that, luckily, it will not be mandatory to update.
Many users have complained about the requirements of Windows 11, where it is likely that the company finally decides not to include compatibility with computers before 2016. However, even if you have compatible hardware, there are always many users who are reluctant to change, so there is good news.
Windows 11 will be free and optional if you use Windows 10
Windows 11 will arrive as a free update to users of Windows 10 , but they will have to manually check the installations, and expressly give it to Windows 11 install . This option will appear below normal updates, as it does now with optional updates. If your computer does not have compatible hardware, you will not even receive the notification in Windows Update .

Thus, we see that Microsoft continues to try to improve the update experience, where in Windows 11 we will see, for example, the estimated restart time for the ones that we have downloaded to be installed. Although it is welcome that only those who want to update update, it is important to bear in mind that in October 2025 there will be no update support for Windows 10. In those four years, you will have to wait for a hack to be able to install it on computers not compatible with TPM 2.0 if Microsoft finally decides to make it mandatory.
They manage to get the Windows 10 start menu in 11
Even if you update to Windows 11, but you still miss some elements of Windows 10, in Tom's Hardware they have found a way to show the Windows 10 start menu, but with the aesthetics of 11. However, modify the registry of this This way it can generate various errors and compatibility problems, so you have to be careful; especially in the version for Insiders.

The function is in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows . Within there, we continue to CurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced and there we can create a new DWORD called Start_ShowClassicMode and to which we must assign the value 1 . Later, in the settings of the taskbar, we just have to put it on the left. Thus, the menu is as follows.
What has not been recovered, at the moment, is the way to organize the open windows. With Windows 11 they can only be organized in two ways: by each of the icons that we have anchored in the lower part, or by tasks that we are carrying out at that moment, such as a photo edition for which we are using several programs like Photoshop and Chrome tabs open with associated information in the same workspace.
