I'm going to grad school soon for cs and they require windows 11. This is gonna be a fun test in locking down my machine and only doing updates with intention

You can dual boot or use a virtual machine. Both are pretty easy to setup.

I had a class that "required" Windows, I did just fine with Linux. YMMV.

Never heard of this before. They may recommend it, but not require.
