The virtual machine I installed windows on to play games with kernel-level anticheat and other such spyware apparently isn't compatible with windows 11. That's a positive for 2 reasons, which are:

  1. It can't run Windows 11, so no risk of a forced upgrade
  2. Windows won't constantly harass me to upgrade.

10/10 experience, would not give give Windows access to bare metal again.
