The weird thing is that Windows 10 broke that model. It always used to be that the even-numbered Windows versions were worse (after, let’s say, Windows 2000): ME (#4)? Bad. XP (#5)? Good! Vista (#6)? Bad. 7? Good! 8? Bad. 8.1 (#9)? Good! But then Windows 10 came out and threw the whole rhythm off.
You could pretty reasonably argue that 8.1 wasn’t a true version, and thus Windows 10 was the 9th version of Windows, but that just means that 8 was the combo breaker by becoming good eventually. In either case, Windows 11 being bad restores the bad version/good version rhythm.
I thought it was “we are upgrading now and your data gets it”

They want us to upgrade to 11 so they can do that when they release Windows 12.
Given the Tick-Tock pattern of Windows OS and 11 being the
bad coptockThat honestly would probably get higher adoption numbers if for other reason than historical expectations.
Windows 3, 95, 98, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11…
