Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options: Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate. @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot
[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Is it still that many computers that cannot upgrade, btw? They dropped all the TPM requirements later IIRC? Doesn't that then include most PCs? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cjf@feddit.uk 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) They haven’t dropped the requirement, but you have to manually go in and disable that check yourself on the windows 11 installer if you want to install it on a non-tpm 2.0 machine Basically, it’s a faff that only the techie people will realistically do. Everyone else will just go out and buy new hardware. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jvrava9@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) For those wondering, no it isn't just a check box. You need to create some registry files. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] conorab@lemmy.conorab.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It is a checkbox in Rufus.
