I've had TPM disabled in the BIOS since I got this machine (which is getting pretty long in the tooth, granted). Can't upgrade, doesn't bug me about it.
Next computer will be the latest OS at the time, but I get to decide when that is.

You can't "upgrade" windows, only downgrade it with patches and new versions that make your computer slower and more annoying.
Plasma 6 comes at the end of the month. Maybe upgrade to that instead. :)
Windows is like the corner prostitute: pay some money, usually get what you want although not the best, occasionally get some horrible disease
Linux is like the sweet SO: has its quirks but you love them for it. let's you grow in your skills but that can be challenging at times. Surprises you in good and bad ways.
Edit: for grammar

Off topic, why does clicking keep windows 10 trigger the admin pop up? What does it need permission to do? It ain't for removing the ad because I still get it most boots
Because it wants administrative privileges to reverse the changes it already made to your PC

My machine can't handle that upgrade and I've not gotten any popups, thankfully.
Hope they push so hard to a point that finally most of users adopt Linux and developers focus more in Linux

Trust bust tech
I got the full-screen splash screen depicted on the second screenshot a couple of weeks ago, I screamed "No!" thinking Microsoft upgraded me to W11 without my consent. My partner thought my computer was broken 😂
Give me back my vertical side-docked taskbar or STFU.
No, I don't want to deal with Explorer Patcher.
