i have an older tpad, and am thinking og linux, but i domt want to truck it all up, either!
yes my shakey finger is pecking on my phone!
Crap like that could make a person not want to ruin Win11. Oh wait, never mind......
I haven’t seen him in awhile, is he ok?
Lay off the sauce...
;^)
my friend, a written comment, such as: “lay off the sauce”, is just dad-blamed stupid, and such a hand wave-off, it just might be seen by other readers,as shallow.
1. i am 69 years old.
2. icymi, i’ve been dry since 1986.
3. I’m a disabled veteran, so i’m allowed to shake a little.
4. just might be a comment la familia, but i won’t.
He is an asset to the community and very knowledgeable abut just about everything, not just Apple products. He just posted the other day. But the last 12 months might have been pretty tough for him after he lost his long time girlfriend.
Apologies if you took it the wrong way, I was just being sarcastic. (I did see you mention your typing issue)
Man, so sad, I wasn’t aware of his gf :(
In most ways I consider it a blessing that Microsoft inexplicably decided that the processor in my primary laptop which is more capable than the approved processor in my wife’s laptop did not get their official blessing. It demonstrates the idiocy of Microsoft decisions that do not get reversed even after creating a bit of an uproar. And I am not receiving the constant nags to upgrade to 11. A win win in my view.
Fortunately, when I got the update to the newest preview it was in a virtual machine, so I just rolled back to the checkpoint that was made three days before when the latest cumulative update was installed.
It is just annoying. I am hoping that it will not make it to the coming public releases and will only affect those of us in the Windows Insider Program. It is also likely that by the time the version for the general public is released that someone will have figured out how to get rid of it.
“Fresh Windows 11 installations from an ISO file don’t check for hardware requirements, so if you’re willing to start fresh you might be able to avoid this entire kerfuffle.”
I installed Windows 11 in a virtual machine from an ISO file and only used a Windows 10 Pro license to register it. So I did start fresh and I am still getting the nag... so no, sadly starting fresh has no apparent effect on the nag.
Windows 7 is OK, but I miss my XP.
I've been running 11 since November and it's fine, but I can't imagine why anyone would "need" to run it.
Apparently Microsquish REALLY doesn’t want me for a customer anymore...
(Challenge accepted ;’}
Failing to register is a violation of the terms of service?
That crap came on my new laptop. It sucked so bad it came off and I upgraded to Windows 10.

FReeper: "Something something Windows 7. Something Linux."
Also Me: "There it is! There's always one ten twenty..."
z’ok!
sometimes the rubber bumper stick thingie has a mind to ignore pushes, too!
Unavoidably, Windows threads act as troll-bait, snagging a lot of anti-Windows (or at least, other-than-Windows) comments.
Then again, Mac threads do the same with regard to anti-Apple/other-than-Apple comments.
Linux threads not as much, other than "it's a commie-hippie-difficult-to-use" OS. Even those have trailed off over the years.
Well, my keyboard has issues with adding spaces when I don’t need one. I always have to go back and double check everything :/
(I also have a keyboard cover that doesn’t help very much (except to keep the keyboard clean ;^))
A registry fix should be a fix.
You can do this in Windows 7, 10 prior if you want to upgrade.
Otherwise you can follow the directions below for a clean install.

How to Install Windows 11 on just about any Device
https://tweaks.com/windows/67324/how...ut-any-device/
Using the tricks I’m about to share with you I was able to install Windows 11 on my $79 8” NuVision Windows Tablet I purchased from the Microsoft store in 2017. Originally shipping with Windows 8, this tiny tablet is packed with 2GB of RAM, 32GB hard drive, no TPM, no secure boot, and a 1.4 Ghz Atom processor that is no where to be found on the CPU requirements list.
Need 64-bit processor
Plug in your USB installation media and boot up the installer on your PC. When you get to the main Windows Setup screen shown below, stop
Next, hold down the Shift and F10 keys to open up a secret Command Prompt window. On this screen type in regedit and hit Enter to open up Registry Editor.
In Registry Editor, navigate through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, and then Setup. Right click on Setup and select New and then Key.
Name the new key LabConfig and then hit Enter.
Next, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, Setup and then the new LabConfig key we just created, we need to create three new DWORD (32-bit) values. Right click on the background and select New and then DWORD (32-bit) Value and create a DWORD named after each item below:
BypassTPMCheck
BypassRAMCheck
BypassSecureBootCheck
And now for the final step, set the value for each DWORD you just created to 1 by either double click on each item or right clicking on each and selecting modify.
Simply close Registry Editor and Command Prompt and begin your install by clicking Next back on the Windows Setup screen.
