[chirp_users] Windows 10 and 11 S Mode

[Kelly McGuire]

Very helpful! I picked out one that is perfect and since I won’t be there to help him use it we’re not doing a surface or a 2 in 1. Good to know about 11! Thank you so much!

I read through everything I could. I’m tech savvy but know nothing about Ham Radios. I don’t want him to purchase a computer that he can’t download and run CHIRP on. Thank you!
