   You do actually get Windows 11.  You can also zero the SSD   
   and install a clean copy of Windows 11 direct from Microsoft   
   and it finds the necessary licence in the BIOS.   
   However, I mostly run debian or Mint on these boxes.   
   The cheapest ones like the one I mentioned have their   
   RAM soldered in place so it can't be upgraded.  Also,   
   they sometimes come with M.2 SATA memory modules rather   
   than NVMe.   
   The slightly more expensive ones such as some from   
   Bosgane that have 2.5Gbit/s ethernet come with   
   upgradeable RAM and NVMe SSD memory.   
   These machines claim a maximum of 16Gbyte RAM, but I have   
   installed 32Gbyte without any problems.
