to get a true 'microsoft experience' he should have use a new laptop, one with windows 11 's mode' on it and only 8gb ram--since microsoft now claims that's enough.

I had a student who had that, I think. It's like parental controls for adults. She couldn't use any of the software we recommend because it wasn't in the windows store.
