The unwritten rule that you can upgrade to at least 1 version of Windows is broken with Windows 11. Though it was never official Microsoft policy, starting with Windows XP you were pretty much assured you could move up to Windows 7. PCs that shipped with Windows 7 easily rolled up to Windows 10 with few exceptions. With the official release of Windows 11, it's all over but the shouting, and, boy, are IT departments shouting. PCs as new as a year or 2 are off the list unless a consortium of Microsoft, Intel, AMD and the PC makers come through with drivers and firmware updates by October 14th, 2025, the end of support for Windows 10.
If not, the big winner among consumer PC makers could be Apple. Considering how technology moves, a thousand bucks will most likely buy a MacBook Air that outperforms the current offerings in speed, memory and storage. Even so, current MacBook Air models will probably run whatever California landmark-named version of macOS Apple is pushing out.
We're a 2-Lenovo household but we might go back to Mac in 2025. |

I'll admit it. I'm lazy when it comes to computer stuff! I hated Windows because there was always something going on. I'm too lazy to look into Linux, so I bought a Macbook a few years ago. I already had an iPad (Air from 2013) and I have an iPhone too. It all works together wonderfully without me having to think about such stuff. There are some things I don't like, but I'll live with those downsides. It's convenience for me all the way.
