Is there a way to avoid ever getting windows 11, or will it be a forced sneaky upgrade like last time?

  How was the last one forced? My game machine is still on 7

    It definitely was a thing. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/forced-upgrade-to-windows-10/01228663-9d86-43be-b591-411d3d4d42b7 https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/forced...

    if you had recommended updates enabled it would give you a pop up to schedule a upgrade to windows 10 with a recommended date and time preselected, and if you hit X in the popup to dismiss it, it would just use that recommended date and time.

  Turn TPM off and you'll avoid any sneaky upgrades!

  use piracy tools to crack your windows 10. worked on windows 7 to windows 10 for me.

  MS are currently saying that Windows 11 will be an optional upgrade until support on Windows 10 runs out.

    Which is October 2025 apparently. Hopefully they'll be forced to extend it like they did with older Windows. I built my current PC in 2012 and it still works perfectly well - no slowdown at all thanks to SSDs and the end of Moore's law. I can't imagine I'll want to upgrade it within the next 4 years.
