Windows 11
Looks like the upcoming Windows 11 will be more hassle for older PC's My last three desktops never updated properly to their cumulative updates failing multiple times to the point where I binned Win 10 off them all.

If your CPU is older than 3 years, Windows 11 will not work. So I understand.

not sure it is worth updating unless you are a geek.
Problem being is backwards compatibility, what were expensive programs when new now wont always work with "new" versions of windows. Software, so many "old" versions of things such as Word and Excel across the world we can generally still send files between us but when new versions of those and similar programs come out and people spend money on them, not always because they need the new features, then there may again be backwards compatibility. I did a project in Excel years ago. Had to convert it to an old version, do what I wanted and then convert back to the new version all because the new version did not have the facility the old version had. macafee2 |

I wonder how many of us actually need more than was available in, say, XP or Win 7?
I accept the vulnerability to hacking etc. but otherwise? |

That's what happened to my older desktop PC's that I used for DAW music recording, all above board expensive software. How long would it before security issues become a problem if you didn't upgrade to the new Win 11.

A useful video explaining how to check if your current PC can run Windows 11:

Yes Linux, Ubuntu & Solus is all I use on my desktops nowadays, Much more civilised & older PC's run much better on these OS. Quote:
That's good to know I had visions of having a lot of hassle like I had with their updates. Thanks for posting this.

If you can run UEFI boot in the bios
you should be able to run it. The need for tmp2.0 can be overcome Sorry if this a bit techy.
