    They already know that the solution exists in their Windows for Legacy PCs but they don’t care about it and will waste their time and money going in a loop.

    That is why they needed outside help to get Windows for Legacy PCs to hit their memory target

      Windows for Legacy PCs

      Low-margin product with no feasible return over the costs it takes to build and maintain. Windows 11 meanwhile is the main advertising and cross-selling platform for Microsoft’s high-margin cloud and AI products. Little wonder they prefer one over the other.

      They have no choice but to do so in order to increase the user number of Windows 11. Since RAM prices are high, users will only be able to afford low-spec RAM once support for Windows 10 ends. Otherwise, they would not upgrade to Windows 11, but would instead switch to Linux or Mac, or stick with Windows 10.
