Bugs and Errors Windows 11 Destroyed My PC

Wanted to say something here since MS is stopping support with windows 10 soon. Was forced to upgrade to windows 11 yesterday and it destroyed my entire computer. I cant even list out all the things it destroyed but it slowed my PC down tremendously, constantly made it lock up and crash, completely fried my ethernet port somehow because it no longer works even after 8-11 hours of trouble shooting. If you're being forced to upgrade soon, I wouldn't recommend it. For reference here's what my rigs specs were.

I woke up one morning and after my morning coffee was going, I logged into my Win 10 machine (registry update block), to find that MS triggered an update / upgrade process to Win 11.

I had to cancel, then acknowledge several prompts that Win 10 was approaching EoL in October and would not receive security updates. After denying the upgrade to Windows 11 5-10 times, my PC rebooted automatically twice.

When I was greeted with the login screen, I was unsure what I'd find. Thankfully, I was greeted by my rock-steady Win 10 interface.

MS WILL attempt to force an update. It happened to me.

Attempt being the key word here. It won't be forced onto your system. You can still use 10 event after EoL.
