Concerning change of operating system for ship's PCs

We have been providing onboard PCs based on Windows 10
in consideration of various compatibility.
However, due to Microsoft's policy, manufacturers will no longer be able to supply Windows 10-PCs,
and all PCs shipped in the future will be Windows 11-PCs.

Therefore, we can only supply Win10 PCs up to the current inventory.
It is expected that all orders placed after September 2023 will be for Win11 PCs.

At the same time that the OS is switched to Windows 11 PC,
the handling of MS-Office licenses will also change.

Previously, the MS-Office arrangement was a packaged version, and the license could be transferred when replacing the PC.
However, the new MS-Office is a bundled version, and the license is attached to the PC itself.

For this reason, it will not be possible to transfer the license
when replacing the PC, but please note that the fee will be
reduced accordingly.

PC prices continue to soar due to the weak yen and shortage
of semiconductors, but we are doing our best to minimize the
impact on everyone, so we do appreciate your understanding.
