I have Windows 10 21H2 running flawlessly on my 10 year old desktop and Windows 11 on my wife's HP laptop with AMD Ryzen 5 4500U processor.
My wife accepted the Windows 11 update otherwise I had waited some time. It is always good practise to wait a bit when updating to a new OS. I have updated the BIOS three times now. When HP's hardware support assistant had not been so easy to use (it is very easy to make a BIOS-recovery-USB), these bios and driver updates would have taken much more time and attention anyone would like to spend on a new OS.
I had hoped that Microsoft had broken to the good-OS-release/disappointing-OS-release cyclus, but after the well received Windows10, Windows11 looks to be another problematic release, especially when you have an AMD processor. Unlike Vista, Windows 11 does not have a security upgrade compared to his predecessor, Unlike Windows 8, Windows 11 does not has a major User Interface change. Therefor it is hard to give an answer to the "why upgrade to Windows 11" question.
So unless you are burning with anxiety to try out the latest OS, I recommend to upgrade to Windows 10 21H2 and wait a year to see how Windows 11 pans out (and let Microsoft iron out all the issues of Windows 11).
