Windows 10 is coming to end of life and your org is basically being forced to upgrade themselves. Many people are sad to see it go.
Personally, I left Windows 11 for Linux Mint because I bought 11 Pro OEM and was downgraded to home with 11.
Professionally, I am doing my best to acknowledge people's loss in the workplace as I migrate them to 11.
You bought 11 pro and was downgraded to 11 home?
Yeah, since it was the discounted OEM edition they sold for $100 or so.
Whatever. I use it to activate my son's desktop and my W11 VM.
That happened to a friend of mine too, which caused major issues because she was using hyper-v for a work project before the machine upgraded itself overnight
