Copilot taking resources is a big reason I don’t wanna upgrade. I don’t care if it’s optional I just don’t want it baked into everything and constantly scanning everything on my PC.

Can't upgrade my, albeit pretty old, computer to win 11 even though everything I need it for works just fine on win 10. So...if security updates stop next year as anticipated, I'll just install Linux instead. I'm not paying AI inflated prices on a new computer just so Microsoft's AI can exist on my machine (I'd disable all AI functions anyway).
