Windows 10 seems to support WPA3.

- bastard_op 3y agoAh, my bad, it does not support 6ghz directly, though it does support wpa3. I just remembered it was some shenanigans they simply refused to support 6ghz one way or another. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-11-with-ax210ax211-unable-to-see-6ghz/a2bbf7d2-d121-4cb0-a17d-afa7ebfca7a9 https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/window... There's no technical reason that windoze 10 should NOT support it far as I know, they're simply using it as a reason to push people to 11. I can and have added a 6ghz usb nic to a 10 dollar and 10+ year old netgear router and have it work, there's no reason windoze 10 can not other than Microsoft says no.
- delfinom 3y agoMicrosoft isn't in charge of this though. It's the wifi card vendors. I wouldn't be surprised if this is Intel shenanigans because they have always segmented their OS driver support dating back to Windows 7. Anything from laptop gpu drivers not getting updates after 2 years to chipsets suddenly failing the compatibility mode flags on newer windows that has never changed since older windows. Intel just literally doesn't care. They shovel their crap out.
