There's no need for skylake cpus being unable to support Windows 11 either it's just planned obsolescence from MS to force you to buy new overpriced hardware.

If only it was just that.

@mangeurdenuage @icare4america @ooignignoktoo ms requires new laptops to have a Webcam. If you have an old laptop, you can still install win11 on it, it just might not "work correctly" which means it will work just fine but not as ms intended.
Windows 11 has retarded requirements anyways and isn't worth using. The fact a perfectly capable i7-6700k cannot install it because of arbitrary TPM requirements is just bullshit and strong arming you into creating more e-waste instead of using older but still perfectly viable hardware.
@ooignignoktoo @icare4america @mangeurdenuage even then, you can install it still. Ms even has a guide on what to change in the registry to let you install it. You only "need" tpm for bitlocker or whatever
@beardalaxy @ooignignoktoo @icare4america @mangeurdenuage there aint anything new in 11 worth upgrading for anyway!
@lamp @ooignignoktoo @icare4america @mangeurdenuage android support is kinda nice, there have been a couple moments I would have liked to have that. Other than that though, nothing really yet worth switching for. DirectStorage will be interesting when it starts getting utilized more. It will be in win10 though too so who knows if it will actually be that different in 11.
And they're ending support for win10 soon. That's reason enough to switch, don't want to get wormed or anything.
@lamp @ooignignoktoo @icare4america @mangeurdenuage dunno where you're getting the .8 from, I thought it was gonna be like March or something. I've never had luck with bluestacks tbh.
@beardalaxy @ooignignoktoo @icare4america @mangeurdenuage it's january 2023 and the eol is october 2025
@beardalaxy @ooignignoktoo @icare4america @mangeurdenuage i played with the android thing when i upgraded but then i had no use for it. and stuff like bluestacks are better anyway..
but it has some regressions that make it harder to use. i am happy to be back on 10
and 10 will be supported for a while. 2025... huh, not so far away now... but still a good 2.8 years
