Yes, Microsoft is the target of hackers and must improve its security

It just a means to generate revenue by forcing you to purchase the upgrade.

No worries. I'm buying a newer computer, and Win 11 will come with it.

Microsoft is flexing its muscles. I am going to install a different operating system and leave them

Microsoft is sort of forcing consumers to migrate to Win11, by with drawing support for Win 10 on your personal computer. Have you had experience with this migration? Is it worthwhile to migrate?

My computer and laptop are not upgradable to Win II. I am looking at options.

@exexec Have you checked the recent lists? My personal laptop, for work compatibility, was originally listed as not compatible, but on the revised lists, it is now listed as being compatible

@exexec Check on YouTube about old laptops and computers. It is quite easy. They show you how to bypass certain checks. I have upgraded an old laptop and old PC, they work fine, bit slow but okay.

@VeronicaJane Good point. I haven't checked lately, but my PC was missing some key components for Win 11. My wife's laptop has Win 11, so at least I have something that is okay.

@exexec I am wondering about the different Win11 UI... after all, Microsoft seems to think it knows what we want, more than we do... 🙄
