About this tag
Amazon Renewed is a program that sells refurbished electronics, including PCs, through Amazon's marketplace. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight a critical issue: many budget refurbished PCs sold under Amazon Renewed cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 due to hardware limitations like missing TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot. After Windows 10 reached end of support on October 14, 2025, these machines become insecure and unsupported.
