Choose an update. It worked fine for me, despite TPM2 being disabled. Worth a try. If you're the type who religiously updates then it might make sense for you. I just did it out of curiosity, to see how salvageable Win11 is. It's not too bad. I cleaned it up, removed Edge, installed Classic Shell... Compared to Win10 there are just a few glitches so far: The taskbar is a mess and it was hard to get quicklaunch back. My utility to customize folders doesn't seem to be working. In general, MS have broken a few things, but basically it's just Win10. They just picked a version and decided to start calling it 11, in order to force people to accept their crap. But Copilot and the Apps are now gone on my system, with no problems.
