I’ve seen a lot of cheap little “appliance” machines-- fanless devices meant to be network routers, NAS devices, signage controllers advertised as running on like 4th and 5th generation laptop CPUs.
Maybe not new, but probably some refurbished ones out there.
Though, I was in Bogota and at a Panamericana store selling new computers I was surprised how many of them were sporting Windows 10 stickers. Didn’t look close enough at the CPUs though.
It doesn’t affect refurbished computers. It doesn’t affect used computers. And all those still run windows 10 and 11 just fine. You’re just not allowed to sell a windows license pre-installed on new computers with these old processors anymore.
Who is buying a new 10th Gen. or older machine at this point?
