While true, I think his point is more about how many computers will be scrapped because non techie people won’t know to do the above and assume that they need a new computer. Then massive e-waste pile grows. Do we even know if UEFI compatible hardware and SecureBoot is enabled by all OEMs by default? I could see a scenario where that’s not true. Microsoft should have made this a suggestion and warned about why it’s better for the end user rather than forcing the issue.

I could also see “Your computer is not compatible. Get Surface Pro for XX% off at the Microsoft store!” Because antitrust and MS are a thing, historically.
