Liking Windows 11 because it is Windows 10

I would like to hear any experiences with anybody who has Upgraded to Windows 11 this month.

Ping.

Sadly, not many people CAN upgrade to Windows 11, due to the strict hardware requirements for the new version.

I downloaded win 10 ISO installed it on a USB stick then downloaded win 11 Dev updates , removed a file from win 10 and copied a file from win 11 and bingo I have a Win 11 that I can install on any computer , even one that doesn’t support win 11

Then why isn’t it Windows 10.1?................

[PeterPrinciple]

All my computers are so old, they won’t run windows 11.

[rktman]

Haven’t yet but was hoping for the H1N1 version. LOL!

stories like this remind me of how much I love my Mac

[Mr. K]

if Windows 11 just removes Cortana I’m doing it!

I hate that piece of sh*t and the way it refuses to be removed (unless you rename the EXE file at just the right moment as you kill it from the task manager, and before it respawns itself)

But then it disables some features of the application search box. But Let’s Go Microsoft.

Probably most fail out on the TPM 2.O requirement but many motherboard do have the connector to plug one of those in.

yes.. we know... you love the macs. All mac users love them and can’t wait to tell everyone how superior they are to mere Windows users. Linux zealots too!

In the whole Mac-vs-PC battle I can’t wait to see which one wins out and takes over 90% of the planet.

Oh wait...

[butlerweave]

There are work arounds but you have to do a fresh install

[ProgressingAmerica]

Microsoft’s hardware requirements deem my hardware to be out of compliance so it wouldn’t install.(TPM 2.0)

Not that I mind, Microsoft is big tech, for once big tech is actually doing something that’s actually in my favor.

I got off of all big tech years ago. I’m Google-free and Microsoft-free and Apple-free.

[CptnObvious]

Are you on a C: Solid State Drive(SSD)? What has been your experience?

[butlerweave]

I’m using older hard drives I have lying around , win 11 works ok but it gets confusing ,LOL

[ProgressingAmerica]

This is actually not true. Big tech Microsoft hasn’t had 90% for quite some time.

Exactly. Why would one subject oneself to Windows, and all the horrors that go with it? Microsoft is garbage.

[Jeff Chandler]

Do I need to get a new hamster wheel?

I upgraded from 10 to 11 on two boxes the day 11 was publicly released. The upgrades went seamlessly. All my programs work as before. I have noticed no significant performance changes for better or worse. As the article says, 11 is essentially just a new coat of paint on 10.
