Are new laptops with Windows 11 pre-installed incompatible with Windows 10?

Are brand new laptops made to only be compatible with Windows 11 or do they work just as well with Windows 10? Are there any known problems that might occur?

They should work just as well with Windows 10. Not sure if the Windows 11 activation key would activate Windows 10 though.

It depends.

 

Some do not havs windows 10 drivers for certain things which can give erratic behavior.

Windows 10 supposedly does not make great use of the efficiency cores on Intel 12 gen+ processors.
