Shows some of the new features, explains don't need the hardware (CPU) upgrade to run the operating system, just needed for some of the new AI features. And ends on how MS make their money now they don't make you pay for a new OS every 3 years. They just harvest all your data, profile you, and sell that on to anyone who wants to buy it, just like Google and FB.

But not mandatory acquire a new key, for example you have a previous windows activate with license genuine (not crackware) is possibly made a new clean installation or upgrade using the same license in same hardware, it happens to Win7->Win10 or Win10 -> Win11, when you connect over the internet, they activated automatic. An personal note not apllies to all versions, only pro versions.

About the support of Windows 10 is possible Extended Security Updates (ESU) for more 2y, we see that scenario in previous versions of Windows, for more information about that https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo ... ty-updates

Windows 11 have some features interesting and today for Ubuntu lovers have been launched the 24.04 for all flavours of that distro, including the LTS version.
