Please just force me to upgrade to Windows 11 already. I'd love to, but my hardware doesn't satisfy some arbitrary requirements they set for Windows 11.
I thought that too, with the TPM thing
Turns out it's just turned off by default on a lot of mobos. You just go into bios and enable it
Then use a program called Rufus to make a bootable flash drive but without all the shite and spyware, and just upgrade W10 to 11 in minutes
Honestly I put it off for ages because of everyone saying how bad it was, turns out they just don't know how to customise it to their liking
Probably spending too much time trying to get their printer to work on Linux lol
My pc auto-upgraded because I donwloaded what I thought was just a regular update. I've been using 11 for like a year already, and it's fine. Install powertoys, run christitus utility... The one thing that really bothered me for a while was not having as granular of a control of my taskbar, but that only lasted for like two weeks.
Mine doesn't satisfy them, either. I switched off TPM in BIOS.
I bet they would be willing to do it right while you are in the middle of something important if you paid them an extra $30 on top of that.
What Windows 10?๐๐ง

Sounds like they're about to get sued by the EU because they're basically asking you to pay again for a product you have already paid for. Discontinuing a service that was advertised as the "last windows you'll ever need" is one thing, but sending you another bill on a whim is something entirely different. Microsoft might just have ensured the longevity of Win10 for the foreseeable future without making much if any profit from it.
Weird, you'd think that would have been the case when they did the same thing for windows 8, 7, vista, etc...
