all those laptops are probably also pre 8th gen processors.
companies dumped them all because Microsoft promotes ewaste be forcing windows11 horse shit which requires Intel 8th gen +
PROPER decommissioning for devices is to remove the drives.
you're getting Microsoft's forced ewaste
7th gen is from 2017. Most corporations are on a 4-year cycle, so have already been replaced twice since then. Very few are motivated by the Win11 requirements.
