   Official refurbishers are only shipping Windows 11 refurbs now.   
   All the entries on the first page here, are for "Windows 11 Pro".   
   And this has to do with the contract terms on the Refurb kit and   
   when the cutoff date is. And the prices here reflect the corner   
   the refurbisher is backed into, by the need to meet Win11 requirements.

   To get a Win10 refurb, you would get that off EBay.   
   From a private seller. It would be harder to get   
   a Win7 refurb.
