Can back up largely what LP is stating above with one minor difference.
A lot of older hardware (those with a tradition BIOS and inability to run UEFI) are not going to be compatible with windows 11. The whole reason windows 11 has come into existence is to do with cyber security (or a cynic would state a way to make a lot of money). The UEFI model runs inconjunction with the TPM security module in order to deliver much greater security to hardware and software, and prevent devices from running what is known as a root kit (long story short, something that bypasses windows before it starts).
Its still early doors, but the whole model is trying to cut off ransomware at the delivery mechanism, rather than reactively fixing encrypted computers. The problem is real, if your hardware isnt compatible, then windows 11 isnt going to be worth the upgrade unless we have a remarkable difference in how things operate moving forward, but I dont believe that will be the case.
We have installed it on a virtual machine at work for testing its capabilities and thus far from my limited use (only a few minutes of pointing and clicking) if windows and IOS had a baby, you would result in windows 11.
The start bar, is going down the bottom in a very mac way of operating.
