Basic online safety to you and me can be a bit high-level for many, disproportionately so for those who are going to remain on Windows 10. I don't like Windows, either 10 or 11, but most of the hardware losing support with 10's EOL can run a secure and modern operating system just fine, and Windows 11 could have been that if not for the overhead of Microsoft's telemetry and other bloat. Home users lacking computer proficiency are being thrown under the bus so that Microsoft can generate metric tons of ewaste as they force their enterprise customers to purchase new hardware. With fresh new license keys.
Enterprises dont need to buy new license keys every time they buy a new machine. That’s the whole point of Microsoft’s enterprise licensing.
