If you do not know what that is, Microsoft has a special Windows version for Xeon-based workstations. This Windows 11 Pro for Workstations has features like ReFS, SMB Direct RDMA networking, and NVDIMM-N persistent memory support. In a system like we have, we are not using ReFS, we do not have a high-end 25GbE or 100GbE (or faster) adapter where the SMB Direct RDMA networking would make a big difference, and we do not have NVDIMMs installed.

Didn't know there was Windows Pro for Workstations; that only runs on Xeon CPUs. Seems like a dumb move, but what do I know.
