I recall repeating steps from time to time to stop that process because I wanted to keep Win 7. Some people may not want Windows 11 and are looking for an easy way to prevent Windows from hassling them to install it. I think if you turn TPM off in Bios then Windows Update will consider your computer not Win 11 compliant and then stop hassling you about Windows 11. To check if TPM is turned on, type “tpm.msc” in the Start run box. It needs to be version 2.0 or higher for Win 11. Most retail computer systems have TPM turned off in Bios by default. You have to turn it on to qualify as win 11 compliant. Normally you also have to set TPM to 'firmware' instead of 'hardware' in BIOS. Because most motherboards have TPM in firmware instead of hardware. Or you may want to leave TPM off so that Windows Update will not try to continually nudge you to switch to 11. Bios has a search box feature and TPM can be called TPM or PTT (intel bios) or fTPM (AMD bios). So you search for those to find the switch. Good point. I just turned TPM on this week on my PC, but I am not convinced that I want W11 right now. Too many things I see about it, that I do not like compared to W10, and my W10 works great, so if MS nagging becomes a problem, I will just turn TPM off again.
