My home desktops are staying put with Win7 or Linux. A new laptop that I bought (over a year ago) came with Win10 installed and a 'free' upgrade to Win11. H no! I refused to create an account with MS, and removed the TPM from the laptop, because the TPM module, in theory, can allow MS to DICTATE what you can run, and potentially REMOVE any software 'not up to standard'. Read -> The software seller did not PAY MS to be included in the TPM clique. I can imagine a future scenario, where an airplane has it's navigation software turned off after an 'update' that resets the TPM values. No, wait a minute, that has ALREADY happened!

Since 2017 I run all Windows and Linux applications in Virtualbox VMs. I have both Windows 11 and Windows 10 in a VM and I don't really use them anymore and once per week I run the updates. The Windows 11 Pro VM runs on a non-supported Ryzen 3 2200G from 2019 and on my Sandy Bridge laptop with a i5-2520M from end 2011. To get Windows 11 running, I had to change the registry on some points during the install. My most frequently used Windows VM is Windows XP Home that I installed and activated in March 2010. It survived 2 VBox owners; 3 desktops and 4 CPUs. I use it a couple of times per week to play the wma copies of my CDs and LPs with WoW and TrueBass effects. I run XP in 768 MB :) :)

The problem with that is that soon emulation won't be possible due to anti-piracy and security reasons. Kind of like how Windows 10's key is tied to the motherboard, programs for Windows 11 will probably have some sort of cryptographic 'trusted OS' system that makes it so they'll only work with a version of Windows 11. Emulation ruined GNU because it removed the incentive to make competing software. And the Open Source software that does exist is often gate-kept by communities that fear change. Windows is what you get when businessmen with coding experience make all the decisions. Apple OS is what you get when the marketing department and accounting is in charge of the OS. GNU is what you get when the software engineers are in charge. Letting the engineers run things doesn't get you Nirvanaco; it gets you an environment as peaceful and cooperative as EVE Online.

The problem I have at the moment is that 24h2 is enabling the bitlocker even on home. If windows went back and said windows 11 home will not be affected by bitlocker and you won't ever need a bitlocker recovery key for a home version of windows 11 then I'd more then happily upgrade or if they simply fixed it so that bitlocker doesn't activate the bitlocker recovery key screen. That is my main issue with windows 11 at the moment, it seems that windows is going out of their way to control our data through protection.

Agree with you in that if you have a PC that is on Windows 11 and is fine, keep at it, you've got a year and a half to upgrade. I had to upgrade because I had to replace an older Dell Optiplex that is too old for Windows 11, bought it used in 2019 refurbished, and was a 4th gen I5, so can't run Windows 11 as is. So the new machine I got to replace it is a 7th gen i5, and is also a Dell Optiplex, both SFF machines and it was also refurbished, but came with Windows 11, got it last October and it also has an NVMe drive. The previous Dell had a SATA SSD as it did not have NVMe. Windows 10/11, does not matter as far as basic usage goes as they are very similar, yes, some things have changed and with careful research, you can get rid of many items and reduce the snooping from Microsoft. But once done, it's done and you should not have to deal with them again, so what's the big deal? I did briefly use Windows 7, but an ISO that was likely non legit as Microsoft caught it and shut it down, had to go back to Vista (yes), but by this point, the original hard drive in my very old Dell Studio XPS was failing and got it to limp along until we can replace it. This was in 2019, hence the 4th gen i5 Dell. The old XPS was the first gen i7. That old i5 based Dell was to be a short term replacement, but 4 years in, we realized I had to upgrade, and tried to do so then, but funds were not to be had, and add to that, the computer had to be replaced suddenly, and thus picked up another SFF Dell, which is the current one, and "fell" Windows 11. I now have an 8th gen i5 based Dell Latitude with 11 too. So, eh... it's all Windows and for the most part, works fine.

Windows 11 is to Windows 10 what Windows 8.1 was to Windows 8, or Windows 98 SE to Windows 98. It's basically 10.1 and there's no need for it, nor was there any reason for the version bump. It might not be very bad like most "every other version" of Windows, but upgrading to it is equally pointless and Microsoft has been pulling (and attempting) some pretty crappy moves with it so I think it still fits in. It doesn't like my laptop because it only has TPM 1.1. But that's okay because I probably wouldn't use it outside of a VM anyway. Bottom line, it's just a small incremental version update with a big version bump in the name that demands throwing away older systems and buying a new PC just to run it. Nothing to write home about.

Sounds like you're trying to advertise for it in a very deceptive way. Windows 8 and Windows 98 1st Edition were apparently pretty bad. I know for sure Windows 98 SE was a huge improvement. Anyway, I'm not going to use Windows 11.

What I still find despicable is that Microsoft had publicly declared that Windows 10 would be the last numbered iteration. After that Windows would be a "rolling service" with different, traditional user requirements at graded prices. There was an implication that some future Windows developments and features would involve a fee and that these would be duly described in case computers in, for example, a given school would not be able to use such features. Then, without warning, Windows 11 was put into trial and passed various stages. In other words, there would be new numbered Windows and Microsoft had broken their corporate word. It so happened that I was heading for retirement age and was in a senior level of the IT acquisition part of the UK civil service, mainly covering state education and aspects of our National Health Service. In $ terms that = a very large buying base of 68 million people, excluding Dependancies and associated crown states. Technical staff ran tests for 11 months (in coordination with European neighbors) and the overall finding was that the claimed "security requirements" for W11 were largely bogus and that the null CPU list did not tally with Intel or AMD actual tests. Given that acquisition decisions have to be made well in advance of need in the real world through normal wear and tear and contract renewals have be reviewed, committees decided that Microsoft had seriously dented the trust element and orders for physical Microsoft products were terminated. This especially applied to plans to use Surface Pro machines in the NHS and local education authorities. Further technical appraisals revealed that many open source operating systems would run comfortably on older equipment and that Office features from open source and some paid ones exceeded many aspects of Microsoft Office and that bloat and hacking could be greatly reduced. In the light of information from ARM Co, Cambridge that large semiconductor manufacturers were refining RISC chips, further committees decided to hold back on rolling orders and consider the future of X86 technology, replacing only machines and master systems nearing end of component life. I retired in 2020 and have watched the diminution of trust in Microsoft and the decline of x86 CISC systems with interest.

I have built a new PC with new hardware. I wanted to stick to Windows 10 but I wasnt able to get the sound to work like it should (it sounded weird I tried fresh installs of Windows 10 diffrent resouces for drivers). Anyway I installed fresh install of Windows 11 & the sound work just as it did on older PC with Windows 10. Also new CPU's have better support for those E core & P cores on Windows 11. I also setup my Windows 11 to have menu Start on the left and classic right click. Literally its just like Windows 10 after these tweaks. Although Start menu is different in design. I can change that but I prefer no to mess with Windows to change the Start menu because with some updates from Microsoft it could cause some problems. I also had built in the Vista days a new PC with Quad Core CPU & last GPU from nVIDIA so hence running Vista I had no problems. Although I can imagine people upgrading from Windows XP with "potato" spec PC having problems.

2:52 please learn the difference between popular and populous. Fred is the most popular boy in his class as there are more of him in the class than any other. Make sense? If not, so why should: Windwos 10: on over a billion machines. Very popular. The correct statement is: Fred is the most popular in his class as he is _liked more_ than anyone else. How many of the Windwos 10 installs were actually deliberately chosen (popular) over any other OS? Most were likely forced downgrades _[sic]_ or just happen to come with the machine as the OS? I have 4 machines that came with a version of Windwos, but they were not chosen for that reason - all of them now run a version of Linux, but they still count towards "Windwos marketshare" and Windwos "popularity' _[sic]_ despite not being chosen for Windwos being the OS.

The OS is hard on my eyes. It's flat...like a sheet of paper and either blizzard white or what seems to be black. Basically, it's Microsoft's ideal of what I should see when I sit down to work....not mine. Take it or leave it.

I have a Win11 license, two actually, but use actively exact none. One came with a laptop I bought and swapped nvme for a brand new one, 4x the capacity and installed Linux. The other one I bought as an OEM license for under £20 and never needed to activate on my on the go Win 11 pro usb I plan to use for rare cases when LMDE Linux won't suffice. I found a free code to upgrade the downloaded free Home version to Pro for a better customisation. If I had to activate the license I will, no problem. So far I am still setting Win11 pro up and will clone it as a backup system if it went rogue. In the meantime Linux gave me back my old Vista laptop for basic use. It is unforgivable at what rate Microsoft makes still fine computers obsolete. Not participating in this robbery. Linux has it, Linux has it.

Well since windows 10 is dead by december 2025 it’s time to plan updating to Windows 11. There are ways to avoid online accounts in Windows 11 that can be easily found on KZitem, BUT the reasons to NOT use a Microsoft account aren’t very compelling. A microsoft account give you secure passwordless login and a place to securely store your Bitlocker key for recovering your drive if needed. These benefits outweigh the pros of a local account by far. In managed pro versions of Windows you don’t get any commercials and most of what you call commercials are actually app tips that are easily brushed aside or possibly the tip to use Microsoft services like Office 365 personal or family, which is the most used way in the world to get productive with a PC. If you don’t like microsoft or the convenience of being presented with smart services that will enhance your user experience, get Linux! And the pains that comes with it instead of trying to make windows something its not.
