You might be able to downgrade to windows 10 and get extra security updates until October. I’ve been lazy and have continued using my old windows install using the outdated file structure, so Windows said I was ineligible to upgrade to 11 and gave it to me for free.

Since OP’s laptop is a work laptop, in general those are managed by their internal IT services, and thus OP will not have a choice on how upgrades are done/updates sent out. And don’t even think about manually downgrading… if IT is even half competent, they’ll see that.

My work computer is a desktop that runs windows 11, the computer I’m running Mint on is my old rough and tumble “Laptop of Thesus” gaming laptop from 2020. I wouldn’t dream of messing with the OS or any of the programs on the work machine, I’m worried IT would find out I’m competent and then try to get me to be IT.
