No one upgrades their OS for the sake of speed. Valid reasons for migrating to a newer OS include things like features, security and compatibility with hardware. If you need more processing speed, you need better hardware.
I should amend that to say no one upgrades a Windows OS for speed. Linux is a different matter.
Windows is like eating at a fast food joint. Sure it can fill you up, but they know how to market crap.
Not true. For someone like me who doesn't do complex code writing, or gaming, speed does not matter to me. But for someone who has a job in severe number crunching and code writing, science, or cyber security, or gaming, speed matters. Otherwise CPU and hard drive processing would not need to get faster.
The only reason most people "upgrade" is much like one doesn't rely on an 1980s September 19th Washington Post newspaper in 2020.
Just like we don't use rotary phones anymore.
I think we are arguing over personal use as an issue here. It depends. Even with the difference between physical land line phones and cell phones, I gave up my land line because it became too expensive, but my current cell phone is a pain in the ass paying bills over the phone.
I am not against inventing newer technology. But with Windows, they know what they are doing in their marketing. I think far to much of modern marketing is to frustrate the consumer to the point they give up and buy a newer version.
