I was redirected here from a vendor from whom I want to buy a Lenovo Business Desktop ThinkCentre M70s Gen 3 11T8002YUS. The vendor's site says that the machine comes with Windows 11 DG Windows 10 Pro. What does that mean? (Note: What I'd like to receive is a machine pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro 64 bit.)

    Hi @Alex Schoijett

    I contacted Lenovo sales and they have stated that "Windows 11 DG Windows 10 Pro" is shipped with Windows 11 Pro 64 bit.

    They stated that you should have the capability of choosing whether it is shipped with Windows 11 or Windows 10, hence Windows 11 DG Windows 10 Pro.

    Hi @Alex Schoijett

    Here is a good explanation of Device Guard from Dell:

    Device Guard is a combination of enterprise-related hardware and software security features that, when configured together, will lock a device down so that it can only run trusted applications. If it is not a trusted application, it cannot run. When configured, it will lock a device down so that it can only run trusted applications that are defined in your code integrity policies. Device Guard is dependent on Virtualization based security (VBS).

    If it states that it is Windows 10 Pro, then just clarify that it's 64 bit with the vendor. Most ship with 64 bit, but I would inquire about this. On their site it should state whether it is 32 bit or 64 bit, but a quick and easy e-mail to the vendor support/sales might help you clear this up.

    Thank you @Dillon Silzer for your posting but it does not answer my question.
    What Operating System is Windows 11 DG Windows 10 Pro 64?
    Is it Windows 11 or Windows 10? Is it Pro or Home?

    Hi there,

    Yes you will receive the machine with Windows 11 or you can make a free upgrade.

    Device Guard and Credential Guard are the new security features that are only available on Windows 10 Enterprise today. Device Guard is a combination of enterprise-related hardware and software security features that, when configured together, will lock a device down so that it can only run trusted applications.

    I hope this information helps. If you have any questions please let me know and I will be glad to help you out.
