New hardware range incoming. Let's hope they don't skimp. Say NO to 64GB Space!

I wonder if Acer will ship a computer with 256MB ram? Vista ran like crap, but MS got the blame. Those were the days. Vista wasn't bad, yet people not knowing what SuperFetch was really dented Microsoft's shine. Units shipping with barely any ram, SuperFetch filling what you had... Blimey.

I see no reason to rush in with W11 so, won't be upgrading from W10 until I change my motherboard and CPU. That will be when AMD launch socket AM5 and, hardware is both available and, obtainable at a reasonable price (i.e. not scalper enhanced).

Saying it won't roll out to Win10 users through Widows Update is not the same thing as saying Win10 users can't upgrade on the day Win11 is released. Right now there are two ways to get new Win10 builds onto your systems: Use the media creation tool or wait for the new build to roll out through Windows Update. Win11 will follow the same path. Those who want it on Day 1 can get it and upgrade from Win10 via a W11 .iso created by the Media Creation Tool, or wait for it to roll out via Windows Update, which typically takes a few months for new Win10 builds. Rinse/repeat for Win11.

As well, since Win10 will not EOL for at least 3.5 years from now, Win10 users will be able to turn down a Win11 upgrade through Windows Update, no doubt.

I am due for my first Win11 beta build this week, through the Insider's beta group, which will upgrade on top of my current beta Win10 build, 21390.2025, according to Microsoft.

I still can't understand why 64GB of drive space for Win11 upsets people. 250GB NVMe drives sell for $100 or less, and 1TB 7200rpm platter drives sell for $50 or less. Does anyone still sell systems with < 64GBs drive space?

Something very sus about this TPM requirement.

Free upgrade once you swap out your motherboard... RAM... and CPU... I have 3 PC's and 2 laptops. I use them as a software developer, and none can be upgraded. My hardware upgrades are on hold due to the the supply chain sucking right now.
