    The thing with Windows is that you are dependent on the Manufacture to make drivers for the device. Windows supports nothing out of the box. You can see this if you install Windows stock on a device with no internet. Granted that’s very uncommon but depending on the manufacture for support is a mixed bag sometimes.

      Sure but that’s a really really narrow scope. Hardware is designed to work with Windows first. It’s unfortunate but it is what it is and saying hardware support is bad on windows is misleading.

        I just know from experience with obscure hardware. You can’t run Windows on your router and Windows 11 doesn’t support serial connections.
