Windows 11*

Description

I'm not ready, or am uninterested in upgrading to Windows 11* on my Intel NUC at this time. Will that cause a problem?

Resolution

When Windows Update shows that the upgrade to Windows 11* is ready for the device, you will be able to choose to install it or not. If you decline the upgrade, you can still upgrade at a later time via the Windows Update section in Settings.
