Then they're in deep... I don't think there's a lot of win11-allowed hardware that people has just lying around.

Although being allowed by MS to run Win 11 is a bad indicator of it being compatible. I've run Win 11 on some old machines that didn't meet the compatibility but it ran well. I've also used some dirt cheap new Win 11 devices with barely a CPU and 4gb RAM that should not be running that but is officially supported by Win 11.

I work in IT. People will often casually dump their hardware because it's now working the way they want.

Just today I heard of someone planning to get a new phone cause he had no more space on it...

[-] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 2 points 2 days ago

That's why my wife wanted a new phone. It's a s21+, so the only upgrades with more space are $$$. Anything free is the same size. We transferred her photos and it was full again in a month.

She had to go delete her old conversations to make significant space.

Maybe you could lower her camera resolution, doubt she needs 50+Mpixels for every photo.

[-] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago

No, she needs it.

She's a hobbyist photographer, so she does take many pics. I'm planning on setting her up with storage space on the NAS. Also, clearing her chart history was a big deal.
