I was convinced before that,after they stopped supporting 7 and 8.1,they would eventually drop "10" from the name and just call it "Windows" without a number and,eventually release big updates that overhaul the UI and keep it from getting boring. It would have kept things simple and they could focus on always making a single thing better. Instead they are calling a slightly tweaked version of 10 by the name of 11 and seem to want to keep doing that because Apple keeps using numbers in theirs and heaven forbid they make it look like they have a bigger number.,(reply>), @F. ginroh it would absolutely have to have a hardware check before any update but also basically be mandated to not be TOO hardware intensive,no matter what. That would ofc mean no typical windows bloat but still,I feel it could have been done. As for what they would call the update,they would still have version numbers like 22H2 or something,but Microsoft would just simply stop using numbers publically and remove it from the OS,other than the version string that you have to go out of your way to look up anyway. In any case,its moot because as long as Apple still raises the number of their OS,so will Mircosoft because nobody is allowed to have a bigger number. As idiotic as that is.,(reply>), But what would that update be called? Windows with new features? They get more people to switch to the new Windows by giving it a new name, because it feels fresher than a simple upgrade to an existing Windows. And also how would that be handelded with devices, that arren't capeable of running the newer update? Would these get an older update? Somehow you have to differ the versions.
