Windows 10: Free Upgrade to Windows 11 - Loss of User Rights in OS Contract?

I would like to try out this free upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 that is tempting me by being just a click away, but I have heard something unsettling about taking this or indeed any 'free' upgrade to a Windows OS. What I heard is that the user technically forfeits their rights to anything they create on Windows itself, and this may be tied to the OS service contract for Windows or at least something to this general effect. I hear this is on account of the upgrade being 'free', thus your version of Windows was never paid for, therefore whatever you create on it is *not* actually you

Windows Update to 1H21 causes loss of right-click function

First step isn't right click.

The download is a zip file. The program is portable.







If you can't even run that, and given other issues, and the length of this thread, and if an in-place upgrade repair install won't help, suggest you're looking at a clean install.

 

Upgrade to Windows 11

I want to upgrade my OS from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I have run the compatibility software and got the message that says my Windows 10 software is not compatible with upgrading to Windows 11. I'm looking for a point & click application that will make my Windows 10 OS upgradable to Windows 11 or a file that will provide step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish the upgrade to Windows 11. I expect a list of files/applications that will not run in Windows 11 because my PC is not capable of running the new applications w/o hardware upgrades.

 

Looking for a user friendly OS

i'm looking for a user friendly OS alternative to windows to try. I've never used anything except for windows. I'd like something that I can dual boot with and that has good stable drivers for video cards etc. Suggestions?
