I use TMG v9 on Win 8.1 Pro. No problems other than in Win 8.1. My question is will TMG V9 work on Win 11. Related is what about the Second Site which I also use. Thank you in advance Michael Dietz, mjdietzother@gmail.com
If you have any need to log into a financial, investment,
medical, or similar account, I would avoid Win 7 due to lapsed security measures. It forced me to Win 10 Pro, primarily due to applications that won’t run on Linux or have a suitable substitute. I disabled as much of Win 10 Pro as I could, including Cortana. In the meantime, I have a PC and laptop with Linux Mint, so when Win10 becomes EOL, that will be the last Windows OS computer I will use.

CatOwner, thanks to you and other Freepers I have made my move and installed an SSD booting to Ubuntu to make the transition from Windows 10 to Linux.
The desktop installs are MUCH friendlier than last time I tried this, and the searched web pages for help on simple but new tasks worked great.
I will miss WordPerfect, and I will still have to use Windows for my FileMaker Pro work.
In the new Linux install, I will use no Google anything (including YouTube or Maps). The boot is at the BIOS/UEFI level, so Windows doesn’t even see the non-NTFS partition. I am using USB sticks to move .pst files, etc.
My PC is NOT slow, but it is definitely faster running Linux than Windows (despite Windows still having the faster M.2 NVME SSD). NO driver issues (though I have not tried the sheet-fed scanner yet.
Thanks for encouraging me.
Congrats. Any move to Linux is never perfect, but if you value your privacy and Internet security, it may well be worth the move.
I use Norton 360 and Norton Premium Utilities, Malware Bytes Premium, so I’m well protected with firewalls, anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-phishing, VPN and other protections.
I have Linux Mint v18.3 available if I need it, but no apps to run on it.
I think if I had gotten around to Linux Mint earlier, I would have used it for Internet browsing and account access. That way, I could have kept my Win 7 Pro PC for applications I can’t find suitable for on Linux rather than the Win 10 Pro PC I ended up purchasing two years ago.
