Windows 10: Windows 11 Pro for Workstation - worth the cost?

Hello,I am new to using a PC. I have a custom PC build, which appears to meet the system requirements for windows 11, but I’ve seen some reviews that say there are feature that possibly only work on machines purchased through Microsoft and possibly have co-pilot??Secondly, I work freelance with 3d modeling cad software, as well as rendering. From basic descriptions I wouldn’t be utilizing any of the features in pro, since I am not sharing files etc. However, I am curious about the workstation version of pro saying that it features “Advanced processing capabilities with lag-free multitasking

Windows 10 Pro Workstation to 11 Pro Workstation

Hi, my current laptop has windows 10 Home
I was about to buy windows 10 pro workstation for it

but then came the question, will I be able to upgrade to windows 11 pro workstation in future if i buy it, I mean for free, or will it cost me extra?
at the same time, will the key get bonded to my Microsoft account?
Cause my current laptop isn't supported for windows 11.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Cannot Enable RDMA in Windows 11 Pro for Workstations

I am getting low transmission speeds with an Intel NIC (100Gbit capable, max 10Gbit observed speeds) using Windows 11 Pro for Workstations. When I attempted to enable RDMA for the NIC, I'm getting no results using the Get and Set-NetAdapterRDMA commands in powershell. What I've tried:

• Get-NetAdapterRdma = no results
  
• Get-NetAdapterRdma -IncludeHidden = no results
  
• Get-NetAdapterRdma -Name "<network_connection_name>" = Get-NetAdapterRdma : No MSFT_NetAdapterRdmaSettingData objects found with property 'Name' equal to '<network_connection_name>'. Verify the value of the property and retry.
  

I wonder if this is due to an incompatibility between the drivers and Windows 11 Pro for Workstations, but cannot be sure. Windows 11 Pro for Workstations is supposed to be RDMA capable, as described by Microsoft (Windows 11 Pro for Workstations | Microsoft).

Here is some additional configuration information:

• Dell Precision 7960 Tower with Intel Xeon w7-3445
  
• Windows 11 Pro for Workstations (OS build 22621.1848 version 22H2)
  
• Intel E810-CAM2 NIC installed in a Gen4 PCIe x16 slot flashed with latest firmware
  
• The NIC drivers are Intel Release 28.1.1 (downloaded from https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...el-ethernet-adapter-complete-driver-pack.html) Version num (1.12.164.0) for Windows 11 drivers lines up with the driver version num in the release notes on pg. 8
  

This could be an Intel driver issue, but there's a possibility this could be an OS issue with Windows 11 Pro for Workstations. If the latter is true, is it possible to enable RDMA with Windows 11 Pro for Workstations, and if so, how?

Thank you.
