Windows 10: OPERATING SYSTEM UPGRADE

I have a computer using windows 8.1. Microsoft has informed me that support for 8.1 has ended. I don't use on-line banking, don't stream music or video, or google unknown sites. I use outlook 2013 for e-mails. I have had no issues with security. Do I have to upgrade to windows 11? If I don't upgrade, will I still have access to the internet and email?

operating system language problem

I have upgraded my windows 8.1 to windows 10 in August 2015. Since then I am struggling to change the operating system language but not able to do it as I cannot understand Dutch in which the system got upgraded. I bought this lenovo laptop from Netherlands,
so it has default operating system language as dutch. I tried many tips suggested online to change it but not able to change it. Please suggest how can I get rid of these problem. I want to have administrative language as English. Please suggest step by step
procedure. It is even difficult to figure out which is pc setting option, recovery option or update option in dutch.

Thank you.
