Not until 2025 when they stop releasing security updates for Win 10 and even then will think twice.
Open Forum: Are you upgrading to Windows 11?

If it works as well as the current release of MSFS2020 then the answer is an emphatic “NO”.
MSFS2020 works fine unless you want to play it, haven't been able to launch it without crashing in 3 months.

Once they un-slow Ryzen processors and add the ability to drag files onto background apps in the taskbar, I will consider it - it's just a part of my workflow.

No
The only new feature that I like, is the Android support, but with BlueStacks we have that already covered perfectly. The enhanced security requiring TPM and secure boot, seem a bit paranoid to me. It's an acknowledgement that Windows was not well conceived decades ago. Linux does not need those things because it was built with security in mind from the start.
So I'll stay with 10 for the next 4 years because my computers aren't supported like probably a few billion computers in the whole world. It think it's lame attempt from M$ and the manufacturers to force people to buy new computers by adding another layer of obsolescence to your device.
But if I'm bored one day, I may install 11 on a spare SSD just for fun.

I have W11 running on my newest computer. If you can use one version of Windows you can manage another. Or perhaps not - I almost forgot W8. When the Microsoft app store gets going with Android apps we'll have a better idea of W11's value. It seems good to me so far but I'm a home user.
They also promised that this was the most inclusive version of Windows. Another lie. The levels exclusivity I see now are why I moved away from Apple in the early 1990s.
So, no for me.

Duly noted, thanks!
Still holding off since they apparently didn't think making sure Ryzen L3 cache was important.
That and I'm one of those users that never changes to a new OS within the first year of release. What I've got now is trimmed down the way I want it, and works just fine.
Maybe I'll hop over to it earlier than that, but certainly not until they get their crap together regarding AMD CPU'S, a few more issues ironed out, and I have the time to sit down and throughly review all settings and what (if anything) I'll need to trim out or modify again.
I’ll let others beta test for a few months, then upgrade. I have 3 windows systems but only one of them supports 11. No issue since 5 years of 10 support aligns with replacement of the older machines and I like 10.
I really love all these different os'es, I'm using Chrome OS, Windows, Android, iOS, Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian desktop and Mint. 11 will probably be fine.

For all my home PCs except the one I build for my wife, they are not compatible. Even the PC I built for my wife would apparently require a Ryzen 3800X instead of the Ryzen 3800 it now has as well as a $99 TPM 2.0 module.

If you want me to upgrade at least give me some reason why. Worse performance and bugs? How can I refuse? I'm sure eventually they will sort most of these issues out and that's when I will upgrade but I recently installed a fresh Windows 10 and I don't feel like going through the installation process again.
Only 4 years old. That's absurd!
I’ll upgrade when I upgrade CPU & motherboard or my current Windows 10 installation becomes too janky and requires a reinstall anyway. I can’t be bothered spending all that time reinstalling, tweaking, testing and debugging when my current install runs just fine and there’s nothing in Windows 11 that I would really benefit from.

No, even if I could, I wouldn't.

No, I'm fine with linux and a tiling window manager. Haven't touched windows in years.

When 2022 H2 is released I might give it a whirl.

No my i7-6700K is not supported even though the motherboard has TPM, but it crashes a lot so I've disabled it. Sounds to me like the rounded edges are more like Windows 7! I use classic shell and icon groups, so don't use much of the Windows 10 interface anyway, and it seems that there is a loss of rightclick menu function and most of the background stuff is still the same so doesn't seem to be any advantage at all. Like others, probably will update when I purchase a replacement.

Upgraded but to a custom build, has TPM removed, old context menu, with all metro apps (barring store) removed, Windows defender has an On/off switch, content delivery manager cortana etc disabled with a lot of other tweaks. (Used Win 10 with same tweaks) . Using my Windows 10 key activated alright and store had all my apps in library.
Have not noticed memory leak, CPU performance on 2700x, also seems same, as tested on CPU-Z gave same score.
Loving the font aliasing, it is as if it has increased in size and I spend 70% of my time with documents, so it is really appreciated. Seems stable and smooth. Also, I am loving the true dark mode it's all black like an OLED screen and not like a pastel shade of black which really reduces the strain on my eyes.
Don't really care about the widgets etc, so overall am pretty happy with the build and upgrade. I do use Simple wall to block all unnecessary internet request which still are there a lot of after removal of so much junk. Choice of antivirus are Kaspersky free or Panda Dome free, with occasional Malwarebytes scan when in doubt.

There's no reason for me to downgrade from Manjaro Linux to proprietary crap.
Happy I finally made the transition in all my devices, even if my old laptop was the one which benefited the most from the lack of bloatware/telemetry.
Only had one real issue (With the Intel iGPU drivers), had to edit a single setting to fix it until whoever was responsible for Intel's drivers fixed it.

Hack a better taskbar back into Windows 11
Now you can move the taskbar to the side again.
I don't think it's any different from any other thread. If you can log in to comment in these forums, you can comment in this one. It's not special if that's what you mean.
