    How many % of these 70% can’t upgrade to windows 11 due to hardware limitation?

      Probably a fair share. The hardware requirements aren’t unreasonably high but a lot of people (like myself) are running hardware that is 10+ years old because why not? Still works fine, if you don’t need that much power.

      Not that I’d run Win 11 anyways. Tried it, was a pretty but nonfunctional mess, downgraded to 10 at first and upgraded to Linux later.

        It’s so wild how Windows boasts about backwards compatibility but doesn’t support hardware from 2010. It’s literally a fully functional 64 bit system but it doesn’t have SecureBoot so it won’t let me install 11.

          That is because they are still required to improve their software, and that means sometimes cutting off a part of their support. Especially when it comes to security.

          But hey, support for hardware that is 10 years old is unfortunately still way ahead of the competition, Mac can’t hold a candle.

          And you could still bypass the TPM requirement with some elbow grease.
