Windows 11

I am aware of Windows 11 but haven't really investigated it. I did see this on the BBC website:- 

Windows chief product officer Panos Panay, told the BBC the latest version was built to be "clean and fresh and simpler" for the user.
He promised that the new operating system would not be an "extreme departure" from what people know.
And even the least tech-savvy users can upgrade easily, he added.

I must admit I like Windows to work like a computer rather than a smart phone or tablet but I seem to be losing that battle! Windows has come a long way from the original 3.1 version and we have managed to cope over the years so I suppose we will eventually get used to it. I don't know what happened to Windows 10 being the last ever version?

I fully expected that any new version would involve an annual premium

Yes it does seem rather generous if it is a no charge upgrade, as Apple does. That is presumably financed by the high cost of the device purchase. Something not open to Microsoft, as there are so many different manufacturers,

Windows 10 was a free upgrade.

Not if it was included on a new device.
