Any examples of software that works on Win 11 but not Win 10?
Well, first, I never said there is software that doesn't work on W10 but does on W11. So please, lets be clear about that and make sure we don't paraphrase comments into something that was never said.
What I said was, Microsoft and program developers are pouring resources into W11. I also said "support" is waning for W10. To "
wane" in no way means it has stopped or even will stop. My comment was just an extension of the other - developers are moving resources (time and money) to W11 support. That is just a fact.
Also fact is Microsoft is trying to ensure compatibility (at least software compatibility) with programs
that were designed to run on W10. That does not mean programs designed for previous versions that run in compatibility mode in W10, will be supported in W11. They may not.
And programs designed for W10 may require upgrading the software to the latest version to ensure full compatibility with W11. Point being, it is still up to the software developer to ensure their programs work with W11. Same with hardware - it is the hardware maker's responsibility to ensure drivers providing W11 support are available.
It is unreasonable to expect Microsoft will or even can if they wanted to, ensure support for 100s of 1000s of programs written for previous versions of Windows.
Hardware compatibility is and will continue to be the bigger problem. There is $0.00 return on investments in development of compatible drivers for the hardware makers to ensure W11 support. They would much rather we buy (Read: provide revenue) new printers and other hardware than keep using the legacy HW.

For some reason, there seems to be some who feel W10 will be around and viable forever. That makes no sense. That was not the case with any previous version of Windows, why should it be with W10?
I say again,
W10 is going away. Nothing can stop that. W11 is here to stay.
And again,
the OP is asking about a brand new computer that currently has NO version of Windows on it.
"IF" this computer already had W10 on it, I would NOT be suggesting he run out and put W11 on it. After next October, that may be another story. But right now? No. In fact, I still have W10 on this computer and have no plans to upgrade to W11.
