Yes, Microsoft is the target of hackers and must improve its security

It just a means to generate revenue by forcing you to purchase the upgrade.

No worries. I'm buying a newer computer, and Win 11 will come with it.

Microsoft is flexing its muscles. I am going to install a different operating system and leave them

Microsoft is sort of forcing consumers to migrate to Win11, by with drawing support for Win 10 on your personal computer. Have you had experience with this migration? Is it worthwhile to migrate?

I use Windows 10 on my home computer. It runs fine. Yet the machine is too old to upgrade to Windows 11. They must know since they never even tried to push it on me. Yet since my machine is fine, I have no plans to replace it. I also have a 1 year old smartphone if I need modern apps. Most apps on my old computer are ancient, except for Chrome which seems to update automatically.

I guess I should worry if I ever do need to load a new app and it is not compatible with Windows 10 or my machine.

I do worry about malware, but all my data is backed up on the cloud or other devices. So if my computer is bricked I can recover.

I have been using Windows 11 on my work computer for a while, and it is fine.

@JoyfulSilence excellent that your data is backed up on the cloud or other devices.
