But is it worth buying or upgrading my Windows 10 to Windows 11?
For me, yes it is. Windows 11 has a wide range of new features, performance, design, and improvements and will still continue to update for improvements. The good thing about it is that if you don’t like Windows 11 you can go back and uninstall Windows 11 to your preferred Operating system. But if you prefer Windows 10, that’s also fine, as Windows 10 is also a great choice.
