So they can have an excuse to force you to upgrade to Windows 11 beyond “whoops, turns out making an operating system as a ‘buy once’ product is a bad idea.”
Same. Keeps things simple with Linux and, Windows doesn’t even complain about it being disabled, so long as it’s present. I’ll never understand this requirement.

Joke’s on them; I already upgraded to Windows 11. I was among the first. It’s actually a solid OS once you disable all the ads and telemetry with O&O Shut Up 10.

Yeah I did the same using WinUtil. Still, I only fire up windows when I need to use software without native Linux support.

Might be a requirement in some companies for security reasons…?

It’s understandable for companies. But for a home user…reasoning is pretty minimal.
