I've noticed a strange trend lately: while most hardware supports Windows 11 Pro, it's tough to find manufacturers that are offering endpoints compatible with Windows 11 Enterprise. Regular laptops seem to be fine, but for more specialized devices, it feels like a dead end. Does anyone have insight on why major players are less focused on supporting Windows 11 Enterprise?

Good question! From what I've seen, if a device supports Pro, it should technically handle Enterprise as well. The difference really just adds extra features that shouldn't impact overall support. It’s puzzling why manufacturers might be hesitant about Enterprise.
In some cases, it's just about how levels of support vary. Level 1 support may not fully understand the difference between Pro and Enterprise, leading to a lot of confusion. It's definitely worth escalating to someone more knowledgeable if you're getting stuck.
It seems like there's a trend where manufacturers aren't even shipping devices with Enterprise licenses included. Instead, businesses often purchase Pro devices and upgrade through their licensing agreements. This could be why you're having trouble finding proper support for Enterprise.
I've had experiences like that in the past where vendors seem to only support certain OS versions. If they only certify their products on Pro, they might dismiss any inquiries about Enterprise even if they could potentially run it without issues. Have you tried escalating your support requests?
