![]() Around 5K won’t run W11 but not because of the TPM stuff. Otherwise, you are pretty much on your own to move to W11 on dedicated hardware where they will point you to a multitude of VARs for assistance (and billing.) MS wants all Enterprises to migrate to either MS 365/O365 or WVD/O365 and move all Server Farms into Azure (great idea, much harder than it sounds to Management.) They will help you with that. Only the AT&T's and Verizons and Samsungs of the world can make Microsoft change course on anything, grudgingly. They consider us a Mid-Level Enterprise so we get average IT price-breaks only. ![]() It's a whole different ballgame at that level, and no, even we don't have much pull with Microsoft. (BTW - My company has over 25,000 devices in 500 locations globally.) ![]() Oh, and Management wants all of this to be done with ZERO DOWNTIME and ZERO DISTRUPTION to the business (and as cheaply as possible with no travel to the remote locations if possible) and especially ZERO DISRUPTION TO THEM and their stock prices. The Capital Costs will be enormous, and you STILL have to support the old stuff (XP, W2000, etc.) in the manufacturing locations because the automation hardware/software in use is no longer supported (and/or the company that wrote it is no longer in existence) and you MUST maintain the cash-flow from the cash-cows to keep the company afloat financially. You then have to segregate your non-W11 devices to continue using SCCM/WSUS/GPOs/whatever for management during the transition (which will take probably a year at least.) The GPO changes alone are a nightmare as you must maintain your current management stance and software, but also MUST upgrade to Microsoft Intune and migrate a substantial portion of your Group Policies over to Intune to support W11 fully. (a company with more than 5000 devices) you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to upgrading to Windows 11 so don't comment. Until you work in an actual Enterprise IT dept. ![]()
