This applies to device-tied installations (PCs that come with Windows 11 preinstalled). Microsoft will not allow manufacturers to sell a laptop without a webcam this way. It needs to be HD at 15 fps, too.
Some back of the napkin math says that would take about 70833 ft^3 to store the Win 11 installer. Thats a cube that is about 41ft long on each side. It’s approximately 18.5 semi truck trailers of memory.
The only thing that would top this would be using punch cards. I think that’d be around 58 million punch cards for Win11.
Windows 11 laptops are required to have a webcam but not a punch card reader. (Bummer, right?)
I always cover the punch card reader with a piece of tape, so no one can watch me jerking off to pong on my zoom calls.
Seriously?
Will it know it’s a laptop and not a desktop and not let me install if there is not a webcam?
