Only for the IOT version which is for devices like ATMs, but it kinda torpedoes their argument that a TPM is hard requirement for windows 11.
You're right, fixed that headline now.
~~I've run~~ I run the IoT version of 10 on everything - laptop, desktop, VM's, etc, it's great because it only does updates 2x/year, no feature updates by default.
Licensing is handled by the scripts from Microsoft. If you're a large enough business, it would be worth the cost of the Enterprise licensing just in reduced support issues.
Basically, it's Windows without the bloat, which seems like a good thing. I can use whatever apps I want for photo viewer, etc, and no garbage on the system.
(...) is a requirement for windows 11 consumer devices. :)
