I have no problem with Win 11
I don't have a Microsoft account - I got advice on how to avoid it here:
https://www.ghacks.net/2022/05/13/how-to-bypass-the-microsoft-account-requirement-during-windows-setup/I don't use Cortana, somewhere on the web I learned how to minimize her intrusions, but sorry, I didn't bookmark the link. (I did that in Win10 and after the upgrade I haven't heard from her)
Instead of Google, I use StartPage.com - a European privacy search engine that gives Google results, without the tracking
No tiles for me, the Start Menu in Win 11 isn't that much different from Win 10
If you want good Internet security, you need to go to Win 11 when support stops for Win 10 (whenever that is). Also, I read that WIn 11 is more secure than Win 10 - but I haven't researched that.
It's your call, I upgraded to 11 and am happy with it.
