Yeah but the old receptionist working at the 6 person law firm isn’t moving to Linux.

Depending on how old the machine is, you may still be able to get Windows 11 on your PC even if says it isn't "compatible ". I have a 5 year old desktop and if I try to update to 11 from Windows update, it won't let. If I try to upgrade from a Windows 11 USB, it won't let.
I ended up saving all my documents to a flash drive and did a fresh install of Windows 11 and the PC works just fine. I had to delete the partition and install 11 on that.

Does WIndows 11 now let you install regular updates?

It then won't let you do routine 11 updates, which still leaves you unsecured, but I wasn't sure if that was accurate, and I haven't had time to look it up.
This is accurate, as it has occurred to me. No updates in about five months due to unsupported CPU. The gen CPU I'm using isn't missing anything obvious (extended instruction sets, etc.) that would be functionally important. TPM 2.0, all other requirements met.
The fact that Win11 will have an ever changing list of deprecated CPUs for no functional reason is BS. Why not just start disabling entire chipset ranges that they feel are too old? Don't support Thunderbolt, out with ya! Only Wifi 5 onboard, walk the plank! Again, for what?

As of right now, it seems fine and there aren't any additional updates. I check about once a month or so and sometimes there is an update, sometimes not.

Why not? What are the major obstructions aside from if they are using desktop Office?

Well, I just searched, and while some users report no problems like you, many people are saying they are having all sorts of issues updating. Some of it may depend on how old your CPU is.

Well, thanks to Microsoft's bullshite, I had to get some new computers in. Can anyone recommend a program to transfer data from one computer to another? Mac has a built-in one that works like a charm.
Does Microsoft? Is it reliable and trustworthy?

It depends on where the local data is. If they've saved it into OneDrive (a folder on the local drive, but a "special" folder), just have them sign into the new computer and it should automatically start syncing most stuff. There is some stuff excluded from default OneDrive backup, but I think it's mostly temp file types and maybe videos.

No, it's all on hard drives.

Should have had folders synced to OneDrive a long long time ago. Work on getting that GPO setup with KFM or something, and then move to the new PCs

I'll be making my first dive into Linux this summer probably because of it. I've got an old laptop that I use for Plex and HomeAssistant that I have zero intention of upgrading.
I switched to Linux when they stopped supporting 7.
Never looked back.

Known Folder Moves
GPOs are group policy objects which can be "sent" from a domain controller (big computer) to all the other computers to force them to configure themselves a certain way.
I wouldn't worry about it. I'd suggest going to a local tech shop and explain what you're trying to do, and have them work up an estimate on the labor. It may be higher than you think. It's not super complicated, but something like this would be begging for 3 weeks of follow ups such as, "Janet can't find her P:\ drive," etc., that any tech is probably going to have to deal with.

Help me!!!!
I’ve been unable to upgrade my 5900X and asus prime 570 board. I think it’s because of my tmp and the fact my storage is raid setup? I know my ox qualifies , don’t give me your intel vs AMD Schtick

Check your BIOS to see if you have TPM enabled. ASUS supported motherboards.

Just get the new computers and write it off as a business expense.
