They'll be revealing it on June 24th at 11am EST. I didn't see this in the OP so I thought it would be helpful to add for anyone who wants to see the reveal live.

i like windows 10 but hated cortana - i dislike these digital assistants - like i said i like windos 10 but like windows 7 more - but like many am interested in the new Os but also like many would not get a new OS computer unless the one i have is broken

You can turn off Cortana easily one of the first things I did in Windows 10. Adoption rate of the new Windows version will be slow until Win 10 becomes obsolete in 2025 and mainstream users will turn to the new version out of security concerns.
Computers aren't magically bound to a certain OS you can install any OS you want or install a multiboot system with many different OSes.

Funny enough, halting updates on Windows 10 might actually be an improvement, lol.
(yes yes, I know, security, it was a general joke)

Windows 11 = Windows 10 with rounded corners and latest updates.

It's because Apple finally went to macOS 11. Microsoft doesn't want to appear to be behind, so they just /have/ to go to 11 as well.
It's probably that stupid of a reason.

I still miss Windows 7, and think it's generally superior to Windows 10, but I prefer the idea of MS selling new operating system versions, as opposed to making Windows 10 a perpetual "OS as a service." With perpetual free upgrades, that necessarily means WE become the monetized product, as we are on any other free platform. I'd much rather purchase and own the software with money than work and play in an operating environment that needs to monetize my data in order to be viable.

Windos 95 OSR2.5 (4.00.950 C) with the USB drivers from 98 was very good 😉

Microsoft says it will stop supporting Windows 10 in 2025, as it prepares to unveil a major revamp of its Windows operating system later this month.
When Windows 10 was launched, Microsoft said it was intended to be the final version of the operating system.
But from 14 October 2025, there will be no new updates or security fixes for either the Home or Pro versions.
And Microsoft says its successor will represent one of the "most significant updates" to the OS in the past decade.
Its predecessor, Windows 7, was retired in 2020, although businesses could pay Microsoft to continue receiving updates for Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise.
Windows 10 was released in July 2015 and dubbed "Windows as a service", which meant the software was gradually updated at no extra charge, rather than the company releasing a new version of its OS every few years.
At the time, chief executive Satya Nadella said it marked a "new era" for personal computing.
Developer evangelist and Microsoft employee Jerry Nixon went further, describing it as "the last version of Windows".
And Mr Nadella added he was particularly "excited" by features such as digital personal assistant Cortana, which was intended to compete with Apple's Siri.
But Cortana never really took off and in April this year it was retired on mobile, focusing instead on productivity help in Windows 10, Outlook and Teams."
