That has been approved and we are ignoring Windows 11 for the rest of the decade.
Makes sense...just let it all run for 10 years then they can let the wheels fall off and migrate to the cloud....really should just do it now to avoid the inevitable data loss that happens then.
@@itstheweirdguy@itstheweirdguys are social workers with a very low understanding of technology. The concept of the cloud is beyond their understanding.

@@therealtoxictyrone Wouldn't surprise me if Valve is going to ramp up effort to get SteamOS working reliably on other hardware with Win10 reaching EoL this fall.

It is always needing fixed. They are now installing restart loops via unremovable updates to discourage win 10 users. They quickly close the "system restore" dates on you as well if you try to fix it. Why would anyone want 11 when they haven't even got 10 right yet?
so glad I jumped to Linux about 12 months ago... I do not like win 11 and win 10 is not that great either really ... for my day to day computing needs Linux (I use Mint) is fine.
I’m still running two rigs in my system running windows 7. One is a plex server /nas and the other is a machine I use to rip cds and movies to the server that I buy at garage sales and pawn shops. I keep them because the motherboards don’t have an updated bios and drivers but they are still perfectly usable
I don’t blame you, I just build a small nas that uses a i3-14100 and I put casaos o it because I wasn’t going to pay Microsoft their blood and be beholden to their whims and constant invasion of my privacy. It’s a bit of a learning curve but I think it’s worth it
In my mind most are going to run windows 10 until they have to or think their computer has broken as windows 11 computers are the only thing sold now. What I am fearful of is just Microsoft breaking windows 10 Home to get us to have to upgrade to windows 11.
me personally, i have an pc that's used as a video editing machine that still runs Windows 10 22H2 and never updated my editing suite apps, and I will keep running this pc even after EoL until the motherboard breaks, I don't expose to open internet, just browse stuff for my content
I run Linux as my gaming machine and have zero problems playing anything I want. Linux has evolved to the point where you never have to use the command-line so the old myth about "it's hard" is pure BS these days. All you need to do is cruise the menus and click like in Windows to do anything you want. There are no advertiser ID's in Linux. While there is malware that targets Linux, because of the way the system is setup it won't really matter since it can never get to your Kernel which is the heart of a Linux system. Linux has less overhead making it much faster and unlike Windows, it doesn't slow down over time. There are a ton of apps which can be installed with the click of a button and unlike Windows, you can change the look and feel of your desktop. I don't mean just wallpaper. I mean EVERYTHING. Also ... it's free. Stop bowing down to MS. These days there is no need to.
Antiviruses exist. I don't see problems with staying on Win10 until developers stop supporting it. I had plans to switch to Win11 in 2026, but seeing how it was poorly developed since release days, I think Win10 might be my final Windows. I so wish Windows 7 was still supported in form of second edition.
Anti-viruses are a joke now a days, even mcaffe himself said so before dying. Look up the video. As for why, it has to do with the code can be changing so much and even self changing that it is difficult to detect.
with so many newbie friendly linux distributives, that run so greatly on old hardware, this is not an issue for the home users. hardly will old systems have any gaming issues on linux as well. Also MS offers its office as a web-app, which now allows to use it on linux.
I think Microsoft removed the requirements for Windows 11. But any processor within the last 6 years should meet the expectation Microsoft had for Windows 11.
They have not actually from my observations... I covered this is a recent video where I attempted to do an in-place upgrade on a VM (which doesn't meet requirements) using a fresh ISO of 24H2 directly from Microsoft. The good news is one of the quickest bypass methods, the product server cmd switch, does still work.
If microsoft thinks they are going to outmode every computer that doesn't have tpm 2.0 I smell a class action lawsuit. Let's see the emails that show them making a deal with hardware makers who want to sell some more computers and break them up like they should of in the 1990's.
I would have preferred an upgrade pathway to windows 10 LTSC IOT which goes to Jan 2032. From a security standpoint it would have been good to allow a windows 11 upgrade if you always log into all Microsoft accounts with a physical security key like a yubikey to tighten older PC security up.
Windows 11 isn’t an operating system. It’s a thin client with local processing capabilities. Now I know there are hacks to allow for local accounts, but customers shouldn’t need to behave like criminals to use their machines. As there is no legitimate fresh install path, I’m considering my options.
I have a pc that runs on Windows 11 and An old one that used to run on Windows 10. With the support stopping I decided to put Linux mint on the old one. While I didn't use it anymore because Windows clutter had increased the boot time to more than 5 mins (and no heavy startup programs or viruses, did a clean install to no avail, it was just Windows clutter). When I booted with Linux mint it took around 30 seconds. I'm no power user by any means but for using a pc what most People use it for Linux mint is just as easy as Windows (though compability for specific things might be less). Mint is definetely more stable and when setting up all hd's from both pc's in network via router it took me 15 mins with Mint and 4 hours with Windows because if it doesn't do it automatically (in case of An exception) you're pretty much screwed in identifying the problem with Windows (does troubleshooter ever actually identify the right problem?). Anyway, thanks to the power of greediness by Microsoft I've discovered the power of a stable Linux system. I'm a gamer so I use Windows 11 because if compability but when steamos3 desktop is released I'll probably leave Windows all together.
Windows 11 is very ugly. I know people said the same thing about windows 8 but 8 was kinda cool because you could get the programs from the app store similarly to whay you would do on Linux with the package manager
Back in 2013 I bought an iMac desktop and then I upgraded to the trash can iMac and use them both for every day stuff. I have been on PC since 1994, have a gaming PC but a couple of weeks ago, just packed it up and no longer use Windows but just Mac even though I earn my living supporting Windows platform. Sick and tired of Microsoft with their shitty products.
Screw Microshaft and their BS. They forced an update on a 10 Home install for a friend's machine I was working on, and the update disabled the settings menu. And I refuse to upgrade / update to Windows 11 with all its spyware / bloatware BS. Transitioned to Mint Cinnamon 22 over the past month or two, and now only maintain a W10 dual boot on a separate drive 'just in case' the Linux drive quits (not likely). And that W10 is a 2021 build of 64 Professional with all updates disabled.
i got two old computers which i use there fine and do everything i need...IM NOT throwing away 2 working computers just because they want me too f them lol .cool video
Shows you how far we have come with computer hardware. I can play a modern game on steam with a 10 year old laptop. But that same laptop can't run the latest version of windows. Weird. Remember when windows had a hardware requirement like disk space, ram and processor speed. Now its oh crap last computers of 10 years has that, now lets make it a security hardware component that is tpm 2.0 ridiculous. Have a computer running windows 11 that it isn't supposed to be, then run the pc check tool oh it can't run it, weird right?
I keep computers until they break. I have long resented Microsoft treating my computer as theirs. I am not throwing away working machines just because of an operating system. MS no longer has monopoly power over me. I already have Chromebook laptops for web surfing, but I do have a powerful tower computer running W10. So what to do about that? This Christmas I tested various versions of Linux & have settled on Linux Mint as a longer term trial to see if it is a practical option. Only been using it for 10 days. It is running from a plug-in flash memory stick. I often use the PC for programming. I have also used it for music production, 3D modelling & animation creating music videos. My first use of Linux is that I have installed VSC (programming editor) & Xampp (database and php & apache server). They are all running normally. But it has only been a few days. I don't know how this will turn out, but throwing away millions of working computers seems an awful idea.
All you people with W11 on unsupported CPUs will get a very rude awakening when MS decides to NOT LET YOU, as those old CPUs do not have certain newer instructions used for cryptographic and security processes! Don’t get MS updates so they can’t disable your hack? Not different than running W10 without updates, right!?
Well here we are nearly 4 years into Windows 11 and so far the only computers no longer able to run the latest release are systems from 2008-2010. So pretty much anything with an Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or AMD equivalent will be able to run Windows 11 24H2 with requirements bypassed and receive updates far longer than Windows 10 on the same hardware. And when Microsoft does decide to release Windows 12, or whatever succeeds Windows 11, the last feature update could receive support until 2031, similar to how Windows 10 22H2 is being supported through this year, lining up with Microsoft's 10 year service life for a Windows version.
I see this as another pathetic attempt for Microsoft to copy Apple with hardware exclusivity locking Windows 11 down to newer hardware similar to what they did back when they were still primarily on x86. Microsoft just can't seem to help themselves but to shamelessly copy Apple's model in every way they can, makes me glad to be on Arch Linux now.
I think I'll actually pay this. $30 just for a couple more months to get Black Friday savings on a new PC will be worth it. I'm not going to use hacks to try to install WIn 11 on my first gen i7, lol.
I just switched my machine back to windows 10. I hear online that windows 11 performs slightly better woth games and i can tell you first hand that its absolute BULL! I have gained around 30% more fps on average on every game i play. Downgrading (upgrading really) is like i went from a 4060 to a 4070ti or something in terms of gaming performance. Whole system runs better and the best part is, it runs what i tell it to run when i tell it to run it. Not what Microsoft allows me to run. The day it doesn't is the day i switch to linux mint.

STEAMOS... Not ready yet for mainstream, and obviously none of the Linux distros are for the average, uneducated person who wants things as simple as possible. BUT.. the hard work with Proton/Wine etc is starting to pay off. At some point the PROS outweigh the CONS for people to switch to Linux. That will vary by the person, but we're getting there. Microsoft may want to rethink how they force a W11 transition. People won't switch to Linux by the millions THIS TIME but it will put a bad taste in their mouth, so their next PC in 2030 or so might not be Windows. Give me "STEAMOS" pre-installed on a nice, compact desktop PC/console that mostly "just works" for the average user. That MIGHT be my next computer in a few years... maybe with some Windows software that can first SCAN my system and detect any issues with compatibility for drivers, applications then offer an easy MIGRATION solution.
I had some old PCs than ran Windows 10. They died 2 years ago. I replaced them with an HP Desktop and a Microsoft Surface Go 2. Both can run Windows 11 natively and honestly...I don't see a difference between 11 and 10.
I have no idea what all these issues people have with windows are. Sure linux is great, yes W11 kinda blows. But if you're a nerd, how are you having so many problems? I break my installs myself all the damn time and can't blame it on Microsoft ever actually. Mincrowin, WinUtil by Chris Titus, MAS, O&O SU10, and that's it. Never an issue. How you could be still on windows 10 home and not pro is beyond me. I'd think you just never made the jump from XP instead. This is not about you btw, just people who would be affected.

So when are you paying? Got invoice yet?
I have no idea what all these issues people have with windows are. Sure linux is great, yes W11 kinda blows. But if you're a nerd, how are you having so many problems? I break my installs myself all the damn time and can't blame it on Microsoft ever actually. Mincrowin, WinUtil by Chris Titus, MAS, O&O SU10, and that's it. Never an issue. How you could be still on windows 10 home and not pro is beyond me. I'd think you just never made the jump from XP instead. This is not about you btw, just people who would be affected.
