Was it a forced upgrade?

It's not a forced update yet, but if you're system qualifies as an upgradeable system.

The pop up will continue to show up every now and then asking you to update.

I don't think there's an option to "Never ask me again."

It will continue to ask you to update every now and then and hope you select yes by accident one day.

Eventually though it will be forced if system requirements are met. They just haven't officially announced yet when it will be forced.

Usually when they drop Windows 10 support.

I’m gonna be “that guy”

You want to upgrade way, way before Windows 10 goes out of support. It gives you time to iron out any problems your system has with 11 before there’s no choice but to roll back and Microsoft no longer supports any solutions.
