I was really annoyed that I was going to have to buy a new Windows laptop because the windows laptop I use, even though it's an I7 with 16GB of RAM, was not compatible with Windows 11, according to Windows 11. I was in the process of trying to decide if I could get by with just a tablet when out of the house rather than spending money on another new laptop when I don't really need it like I used to.
However, I found a tool to upgrade Windows 10 computers that seem perfectly compatible with Windows 11 for 99.9% of what one might do. I upgraded my laptop using this method, and I have had no issues so far with Windows 11. I'm thinking I may never have them. Time will tell.

I have switched almost all devices to Win11 and it said it should not run on any of them. So you can also produce useless garbage....

Why not switching to Unix ? Some Linux distributions could turn your 16gb ram i7 into a powerhouse. Execution can be extremely fast and power usage very efficient.

Linux might be the best way to prevent e-waste.

I've worked with Ubuntu and Mint and a couple of other distros, but I've always gone back to using windows on my own computers. If I had something really under powered I might switch to it, but since I've got plenty of power I'm more comfortable in windows. I just didn't want to be forced to buy another box.

But if I switch to Linux how will Microsoft make money from stealing my data

It's like nobody ever thinks of the shareholders

He will be going on about the Russia Quake now saying how bad it is and how they need to look strongly into why this has happened? Its perhaps some creature inside the earth that we now need to look strongly into how much we can tariff the creature.

The BS will deffo be flowing as long as this guy is president.
