Of course not. The problem is, some people only have a $300 budget. Those people would do better with an older refurb that only supports Windows 10 than a new Celeron piece of crap from Walmart that runs Windows 11 on a 64GB eMMC.
No, definitely not. I'm talking about the guy who comes in off the street to buy a computer with a $300 budget. I'm usually able to convince them to bump it up to at least $500 so they can get into something newer that fully supports Windows 11 but sometimes it's a hard budget because they literally don't have any more. These people are much better off going with an older Windows 10 refurb than taking that $300 to Walmart and buying a piece of junk.
I think some of us forget that there are a lot of people who are struggling financially. Things are getting worse, not better, so expect to see more of this. If you mainly service business clients you won't see this very much but for those of us who serve mainly residential it comes up more frequently.
No argument there but I'm not comfortable selling systems with Windows 11 that aren't officially supported. 8th gen is already almost 5 years old and by the time Windows 10 loses support they'll be almost 8 years old. At that point they really should be retired.
