Refresh cycle sluggishness is a tailwind, insists PC giant's money people

HP estimates that three in ten of its PC customers remains on Windows 10, which exited standard support terms in October. Speaking to investors yesterday, Ketan Patel, president of personal systems, claimed the slow migration to Windows 11 was giving HP a financial boost. "Windows 11: 30 percent of the installed

base is still to be refreshed. That's one tailwind which we see as an

opportunity in the short run," he said.
