My wife and I bought new computers earlier this year, and there were some great deals to be had w/ lots of ram and hard drive space - until I looked closer and saw that they were older Win 10 models that weren't compatible with Win 11. I wouldn't worry too much about getting a Win 11 machine right now, but definitely get one that will support it going forward, otherwise you'll just be getting a new machine in a couple more years.
