It always used to be gamers and direct-x versions that pushed onto the newer versions of windows just to get the latest and greatest. Maybe it's just me but the difference is minimal at best on the newer games and pointless on the older ones. Windows 11 enforces stricter rules on driver signing by default so older hardware, mainly niche peripherals need extreme jiggery pokery to get working if they work at all. Couple that with the general you'll do it my way or not at all attitude Microsoft has taken with 11 and I'll stick to windows 10 and keep using it the way I want.
