I DID buy a new computer; MacBook!

Congratulations on the downgrade. You've gone from an OS that will support your hardware from at least 10 years, to maybe 7 years of support.

I bought a used PC with a 6-year old CPU model only to find out that Windows 11 wouldn't support it. That's when I realized that the only advantage that Windows had over Macs in my opinion (aside from games) was gone.
