[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1115148, member: 176704"] That's why I said "(at the moment)" - but it'll all depend on how much MS really want's to retain its huge W10 user-base for the future, "force" to substantially upgrade their h/w [I][B]OR [/B]just let them to migrate to the "opposition" (i.e. mainly Apple or Linux)?[/I] FWIW, my wife's 2007-vintage m/c was on Vista when she bought it, but I upgraded it to W7 almost as soon as that became available - that m/c is now on W10 Home, which is just about at the limit of it's current possible upgradeabilty, and certainly doesn't come anywhere near the current "minimum requirements" for W11. Another three of my W10 m/c's are later builds, and only one of those [I]might[/I] meet the current W11 requirements ?? Thus I must be one of the millions (billions?) who might be facing an expensive-to-avoid brickwall of dumping a lot of old but adequately functional kit, and spending a LOT of cash to get W11-compliant kit, or: - jump to IoS, and face even higher costs in the process - God forbid! :( - change to another OS [I](maybe Linux, but in which of the zillions of options, and then there's the "issue" of trying to keep the chosen one(s) up-to-date?)[/I] MS - "get real" or face terminal "technalogical extinction" in an avoidable "head in the sand" approach to your customers[I] (they nearly did that with W8! :rolleyes:)[/I] [/QUOTE]
