Market Impact: Low - No direct market impact, but inadequate system performance could affect trading efficiency for individual members if configurations are not updated.

Technical Impact: High for non-compliant systems - Members running on older Windows versions face risk of runtime errors and operational disruptions if they do not upgrade to Windows 11.
