Windows 10 will be more stable moving forward as Windows 11 is still moving the goalposts regarding requirements.

Also, Windows 10 may be marginally quicker on a lower spec machine.

If it is your only computer, I would not upgrade it.



Even if you are not facing sudden death on your computer, you are going to face some sort of update failure at exactly the wrong moment when you are using your computer for important task. You are going to having spend an entire day restoring your computer.



If it is your second computer, sure you can install it.
