What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs When your old PC goes over the Windows 10 update cliff, can Windows 11 save it? arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/1…
I understand the desire, but other than for curiosity sake, my tolerance for friction when it comes to restrictions companies place on software/OS has gone down over the years.
If a company does not want me to run their software, then fine, I don’t. There are alternatives to windows 11 on those systems. #linux
there's an update cliff? I can't see Microsoft pulling the plug on security updates for 10 when it's so widely used; governments would want a word about how a big percentage of computers in use are suddenly totally open.
I don't think that's going to be a problem for many: companies will buy windows 11 compatible PCs, and most users will either stay with windows 10 for a bit longer (it took several years for windows 7 to truly die after microsoft EOL'ed it) or migrate to other OS.
Also, I am wondering what windows 11 can do for a computer to "save it"... 😆
