    Why do they care? Don’t they want the tiny market share of Windows 11 to go up?

      I don’t know much about business but I think that that is what they think that they’re doing….

      Well if you buy say a new laptop it will come with an OEM license so they make a sale unlike if you use your old windows 7/8/10 license on your unsuported laptop

        They don’t care about home users buying licenses. That’s probably less than 1% of license sales. As long as businesses are buying it they’re happy. You can activate Windows with a github script. Microsoft would have fixed that vulnerability if they really cared.

        Your argument is flawed. The situation is using Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. So the sale you are talking about has already happened which invalidates your point

        I’m assuming you simply misread the question

        Windows 7/8/10 are irrelevant as that’s an entirely different situation

          When you get a new laptop it comes with Windows (except in very rare exceptions). So microsoft collects another sale.

          All the other windows versions are very important to my argument as you can use old 7/8/10 licenses to activate Win 11.

            to activate Win 11.

            You didn’t include this in your argument that’s why it was flawed
