My laptop has windows 10 but is so old that whenever the automatic update to windows 11 pops up, it's determined to be too old to install. That hasn't stopped the auto update pop ups however

I still use windows 7 in my PC. Why does anybody care about support or updates? If anything those are annoying, it's better if they are gone.
The real problem is dx12 support. Because it's hard to run proton in 7. That's why I'm dual booting Linux.

isn't this still extremely early?
I wouldn't say 10 years is too small of a support window, personally 
While I left Windows a long time ago- I'm using Win 11 for work.
Once you get past the ad placement in the start menu, and HW barriers to installation it really isn't that bad. I've had fewer overall crashes than Win 10 so far, and compatibility has been OK.
In principal the advertising and the spying etc is really infuriating, but hey, that's where everything is headed anyway.
the ad placement in the start menu
Can’t tell if this is a joke or not
Not a joke, they would suggest apps in the start menu, essentially ads.
