They are certainly going to come. Most of the questions to begin with are likely to be. Why can't my machine run W11 I only bought it a couple of years ago?

Yes Keith. Actually it will be why can't I run it on a machine I just bought. Think of all the machines bought for in home learning.
Computer purchases are price very, very price sensitive.
I saw a video, on one of those threads posted by a member, in which the presenter was saying they are still selling devices that don't conform. I can confirm that as I saw CPU's for sale that don't meet the cut-off.
Of course if you can get it really cheap and it will run happily until October 2025 then I guess no harm done, that is if they clearly tell you it does not meet Win 11 reqs.

You've only got to look at the cheap laptops on Amazon. 2GB memory 32GB disk.

There may also be a good number "Windows what?".

Well this Win 11 strategy could drive a little business my way either with people wanting to get their existing machines checked, buying new or people changing to tablets ( and compatible printers )
I have one customer with two machines and I'm not sure how I'm going to handle this. Maybe use Macrium re-deploy to move their 10 image to a new device and then use a free upgrade to put it back on 11. Going to be very ugly. Crossing my fingers I have four years to come up with plan.

Now that is what we call, planning ahead.

Yup and he has been talking about retiring, the race is on.

Not yet, getting into 70° water is a bit of a shock after being in the super hot sun.
Yes, I'm a wimp like that.

Good day everyone.
Another warm one here. Not as bad as it has been but still unpleasant.
