    Oh fucking great. My daughter’s online school requires her to run “Windows 8 or greater,” but we got her a used laptop that can run 10 to make sure it can keep up with security updates. I don’t even know if it is powerful enough to run 11 because I didn’t even consider the possibility when I bought it. Now we’re going to have to buy a new one in a couple of years?

    Fuck you Pierson and Microsoft.

      Do they actually require it or do they “require” it.

      A lot of things that are browser based “require” Windows or Mac but don’t actually require it.

        If I could afford a lawyer, I wouldn’t be concerned about having to buy a new notebook for her.

      Most laptops that ship with windows 10 are capable of running 11. I recommend finding out if the schools provides a license. When I was attending Phoenix online a couple years ago they supplied me with a windows 10 education license through Microsoft.
