Because it's 6 years old?
Be careful, we’re probably angering the silicon gods by questioning their wisdom 😜
I’m not quite sure why the configurator has this pricing quirk between the two operating systems. I’m sure it’s just something random and not a tax on the indecisive.

No idea xD I just went for Windows 10 on my order and then I'm gonna upgrade when it's been through more testing and bugs are sorted etc.
Good move, I’m sticking with 10 until I know 11 is a lovely stable platform. Then it’ll be a cheeky clean install and spending the next couple of years getting used to the start menu icon not being at the bottom left of the screen 😐
I genuinely feel 10 to 11 seamless. But that's on my little Surface Pro that I do hee haw other than browse about and watch netflix. The interface is very slightly different but that's more an ergonomics thing. The functionality remains the same.
For the pricing quirk, the prices fluctuate all the time. You would need to check the price of the Win11 build at the time of selection as even the OS price will fluctuate.

The 4000x is no longer an option on the PC configurator. I'm getting worried now that it's out of stock and I'll get an email saying to swap it again.Don't steal my 4000x lol
My order has only moved 3 places this week.

For the record: Windows 11 and Windows 10 are both still paid licenses, it's just upgrades that are free if you have an existing license. But there is no free windows available anywhere.

For anyone considering purchasing without Windows and running it without a license, if you run an unlicensed copy of windows, you don't receive security updates, so you'll be open to every attack under the sun and WILL have a compromised system.
It's further misunderstood that an up to date AV package can protect a system that's not receiving updates, this is entirely incorrect, an AV just protects things that enter from upon the OS. But with an unpatched OS, it's the OS itself that is penetrated. No AV can protect against that.
It's important to highlight the truth about licensing as it's a greatly misunderstood topic.

Also, the free upgrade is only applicable to Home or Pro users, it's not applicable to businesses, so unless your business is buying individual licenses which is a very odd approach and would raise heckles amongst any IT professional, a workplace would always use volume keys which aren't subject to a free upgrade.
