Wouldn't disallowing updates to Win 11 be the opposite of a logical plan if your goal was to get people upgraded to Win 11?

- hparadiz 2y agoThe secondary goal is lowering support costs. Less hardware to support does that.
- AnthonyMouse 2y agoSubstantially the entirety of the legacy hardware support cost is for accessories, i.e. PCIe cards and USB devices. All of that still exists and people will continue to expect to plug their existing devices into their new PC and have them work.
- xmodem 2y agoDepends why you want to get users upgraded. If you want your users to be upgraded so they have access to security improvements, and those security improvements require TPM 2.0 or whatever, then allowing upgrades on older systems without TPM 2.0 rather undermines the point of getting those users upgraded.
