Thanks, Microsoft, I really need you to tell me I'm on non-authorized hardware, like I didn't already know...

I keep getting prompted to download Edge.
Next step they will shut you off. nd all efforts to circumvent.
Supporting Bill Gates in any form is a moral crime.
“...compared to Windows XP’s 3.62 percent....”
Do they count XP VMs?
I made an attempt to upgrade but apparently my I5 4ghz 8gig gtx960 was to old for it..
f’em
I'm in the industry and that's an old, polite was of saying, "Bug".
This kinda crap makes Win 7 look pretty good. Linux also.
Crap like that could make a person not want to ruin Win11. Oh wait, never mind......
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.
