It’s for your own good, mind (and some Windows 11 users will get this too)
  • A new patch is being quietly pushed to Windows 10 (and 11) PCs
  • It’ll force upgrades in certain circumstances to keep the PC in support
  • This update will mean more nag prompts coming to your PC

    How is it gonna nag me to upgrade to Windows 11 when I don’t have a TPM?

    I’d love to upgrade, the system is completely capable of running it, but because it doesn’t have a useless bit of hardware I can’t. Fuck em.

      Mine said I couldn’t upgrade because of the no TPM thing. Turns out it’s just off by default on a lot of mobos.

      Secondly, there’s a program called Rufus that can create a bootable flash drive with Windows 11 but removes stuff like the TPM requirements, the need for Microsoft account sign in, all the bad stuff etc

      I’d been avoiding it for a year until I learned about Rufus but now that I’ve installed it, you know what? Without all the bloat, it’s a fucking smooth OS. Really excellent multitasking windows and fast too

      Lemmy shits on it because “muh Linux” but if you install it right, it’s fucking excellent for the vast, vast majority of people

        My only gripe with Windows 11 is how it constantly puts in crap I don’t like without my permission and I’ll have to spend time to remove it.

        Other than that and the incoherent UI philosophy, the OS is pretty smooth.
