Huh... I wonder why there's versions of it called "Enterprise" then. You might want to talk with Microsoft about their clear mistake. I mean clearly https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/windows/windows-11-enterprise is in error since you're correct right?
I work in IT. Windows 10/11 Enterprise is still a bad choice. If it's a mission-critical system and you must choose Windows, pony up the cash for Windows Server.
The difference between Windows Enterprise and Pro/Home editions is that there are features on it that make my job easier, but it's still the same shitty operating system under the hood. Windows Server is much more robust and reliable in my experience. Still shit, but slightly less so. It's designed to run on machines with 24/7 uptime. Windows Enterprise still expects you to regularly restart it for updates and upgrades. That's alright since we can just set Susan from Finance's computer to update at 03:00. It's not okay if that computer controls the entire factory.
I too work in IT... Just because I have some HR users that need to run Quickbooks, I don't buy them Windows server 2022.
Well, QuickBooks is hardly "mission critical" (usually) although its "server" functionality is so jank that it's an entirely different discussion.
If you have sufficient outage that paychecks don't get cut... it will turn mission critical pretty fast.
You're not going to have a multiple-day outage. At most, it'll be a few hours.
If your company isn't printing out paycheques and payroll advices at least a day before payday, and is instead waiting until the last minute, that represents an organisational failure, not a technical one.
Edit: And don't forget... the manager can always write the cheques by hand on a paper chequebook.
