    They need to make sure users will have a good reason to upgrade to Windows 12.

        Just because a new Windows version is available doesn’t mean that Windows users will upgrade. My work computer is Windows, but I have still not touched Windows 11 at all to this day. But if the latest Windows is far better than the other available versions, then users and enterprises will likely want to upgrade.

            Through their OEM deals, you’ll have a hard time finding a new computer with anything other than 11

            So true. Just a reminder that alternatives exist the next time someone tries to recommend a Thinkpad or Dell:

            • Starlabs
            • System 76
            • Framework
            • Malibal
            • Tuxedo
            • Purism

            My HP came with FreeDOS.

            https://blog.tmm.cx/2022/05/15/the-very-weird-hewlett-packard-freedos-option/ is a good read on what this option really is. It’s clear that the intent on HPs part is to give you an option to buy the laptop without Windows garbage on it. Even if it’s a bit janky on it’s own.
