Unless I'm reading this wrong, it's all kind of moot.

Devices with these CPUs may not be manufactured with Windows 11 pre-installed and may only be upgraded to Windows 11 by a customer.

They won't sell OEM licenses for chips that haven't been manufactured for a few years. Users can still update themselves, and retail licenses appear to be unaffected.

Pssssss! Let them hate Microsoft. It never really got out of fashion. I am a pro at both systems, so I couldn't care less and always use the best tool for the job at hand.

According to the PC health check program my 10th gen laptop is able to upgrade to Windows 11. So either that system hasn't been updated, or this is just for newly manufactured PCs.
