The only thing that would top this would be using punch cards. I think that'd be around 58 million punch cards for Win11.

Windows 11 laptops are required to have a webcam but not a punch card reader. (Bummer, right?)

Seriously?

Will it know it’s a laptop and not a desktop and not let me install if there is not a webcam?

This applies to device-tied installations (PCs that come with Windows 11 preinstalled). Microsoft will not allow manufacturers to sell a laptop without a webcam this way. It needs to be HD at 15 fps, too.
