Re: Aren't we supposed to be moving on from Windows 10?

Most embedded devices run older versions of software. It took forever for XP to stop being used in such things. When they use Android, it's always something like Android 8.1 if they're modern. When they use Linux, prepare to see a 4 at the beginning of the version (if you're lucky). As such, using Windows 10 is entirely in character for this area. Probably, Microsoft would have liked to use whatever Windows 11 variant they have planned for this level but realized that they needed to use something established if they wanted any OEMs to use it.
