HDD in 2023? Why?

Meanwhile my i7 thinkpad with nvme somehow is not compatible with windows 11.

Well neither is my surface pro 4 but I don't want 11 and that machine still works great anyway.

That was the weird thing as well, only my PC was eligible for an upgrade lol.

Dumb company decisions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think it's so you can write 1000GB on it and have be cheaper than a 256GB machine. My folks had a 2019 laptop with an HDD, I'm not even being figurative here, they literally could not use it, 10+ minutes to boot it and load a program. Constant 100% I/O usage. Stuck some RAM and and a SATA SSD in it, it's been a daily driver ever since.
